All Military units have a band. It is a long standing tradition, using a theme song or a rallying song for war and for pride in the unit.

The military bands are called upon to play for dignitaries or many other events, where music is needed and appropriate.

Ceremonies would not be the same without the music. They would be very dry and have less meaning. Many pieces played by military bands bring tears to your eyes, because of the great meaning to the tunes and also for the "pageantry" and pride, we as the audience feels when they are played well.

The military bands work long hours to perform at a highly acceptable level of performance. Their individual careers and futures, depend on their abilities as a musician.

They do it because of pride in their ability and corps.

It really depends on what the felony was, if it was murder or rape or something that serious, don't even hold your breath. The military will not let you in. If it was something less serious and petty, it may not be impossible. But truly depends on what you were convicted of. Speak to you local recruiter and see what they say.

There's plenty of use for them--most planes have window wipers--but a fighter jet doesn't have them because the wind would tear them off, and because the wiper couldn't go around the curve on the canopy. The canopies have a coating that repels water, like RainX does for cars.

Actually, most planes do not have wipers. The larger commercial passenger jets that most people know DO have them, but they are only used during taxi.

There are currently 7 or 8 Rabbis in the US military. At this time, at least one Chassidic Rabbi is suing the military because the no beard policy prevents those Jews who wear beards for religious reasons from enlisting - this includes Rabbis who wish to serve as military clergy.

The military did not (does not) make the knives; they are either contracted out (made by a company for the military), or are bought off the shelves by the military. Example: the US Navy bought "off the shelf" it's riverine boat, the PCF-Patrol Craft Fast (Swift Boat) in 1965 during the Vietnam War. The USN saw the boats being used in the Gulf of Mexico, decided they'd make good Riverine Boats for Vietnam, contacted the maker (Seward Seacraft in Louisiana), and requested about 200 of them. The former civilian boats were built from scratch (from aluminum) and were simply modified for war; gun turret, machine gun positions, etc.

The Kabar was famous for supplying "Fighting Knives" to US Marines in WWII. Only the Marines received as standard issue those knives; this was in addition to their bayonets. US Soldiers received only bayonets; specialized US Soldiers, US Airmen, or US Sailors might receive some sort of other blade.

The Vietnam War may have been the "last issue" (general issue) to the Marine Corps for Kabar fighting knives.

Although they are not standard issue, many soldiers purchase their own knives for combat and field use. KA-BAR does make an Army version of its famous USMC fighting knife. It's the same knife: 1095 Cro-Van steel 7" blade, leather handle, .7 lbs, 11 7/8" total length, but instead of the small USMC right where the blade protrudes from the handle, is says Army. KA-BAR is a knife manufacturer, so they are the ones that make all the KA-BAR knives. Since they are strong and durable and the clip point style is excellent for both combat and field use, it is still a popular knife.

RIF is short for Reduction in Force. When the military, Air Force or Army, decides they have too many people for the current defense requirements, they reduce the forces by offering early discharges or retirements. This usually occurs after a war has ended. There was a RIF after the end of the Viet Nam War.

Yes, with conditions. The United States Military generally avoids recruiting people that require a daily medication for an illness (such as diabetes, thyroid conditions, and ADHD).

It is best if you take a daily medication to discontinue use for a year before you apply to join the army. If you do not require medication and can pass all the requirements elsewhere you can join the US army. However, those who currently take medication are not accepted.

No, this is an internet myth, and it's not very logical. During the last war when there was a draft-- Vietnam-- in the 1960s, Barack Obama was a young child (he was born in 1961). By the time he was in his teens and old enough to join the military, the Vietnam War had been over for a while. There were no other wars at that time, and there was no draft either, since the US had gone to an all-volunteer force. Barack Obama went to college, and did not "dodge" anything.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation, although I would recommend you contact the POW Network (see related link at the bottom) first, let them determine if it's a prosecutable case under the Stolen Valour Act, and let them take it from there. In your e-mail to them, give a full account of who they are, and what their claims are. They will then file a Freedom of Information Act request for their military service records, to determine whether or not there is any truth to this person's claims.
