You may check out packing.org, gunlaws.com, or georgia.gov, however the US Attorney Edward Yarbrough said on July 17, 2009 that "licensed dealers are barred from selling a (hand)gun to someone younger than 21, but private sales to people older than 18 are legal" (Associated Press/Travis Loller). This news article was in regards to the arrest of a felon who had sold a handgun to a 20 year old woman who later committed a murder with it. It should be noted that this referred to federal firearms law and did not take in account the few states that restrict private sales or have a state law against handgun ownership by people under the age of 21. It is also worth noting that any person who has a felony conviction (unless rights have been restored) may not own (or touch) a firearm. A private seller in the vast majority of states may sell a handgun to a eighteen year old legally if the seller knows the buyer is at least 18 and has no reason to believe the buyer is a felon. Federal firearms law allows eighteen year olds to purchase long guns (shotguns and rifles) and ammunition for long guns from dealers. Federal firearms licensees may not sell handguns or handgun ammunition to anyone under 21.

I dont know... sometimes a deer... I guess...

There will be aviation accident investigation authorities in most advanced countries, and these would have the data you seek. Try "aviation accident" in your search engine. I have no specific knowledge.

SN is the rank of the sailor, indicating that they are an E-3 or Seaman. PS is the specialty that they are striking for. PS stands for Personnel Specialist, a rating that works with service records of the other Navy individuals.

Yes a HM3 is a third class petty officer. HM denotes that the person's rate (or job person is assigned) in this case it is a hospital corpsman. The Number following shows his pay grade. HM2 is a second class petty officer and HM1 first class petty officer. A third class petty officer is an E-4 which is the equivalent to a Marine Corporal which is also an E-4.

You must not be color blind and have normal depth perception. Uncorrected vision no worse than 20/200 in both eyes. Both eyes must be correctable to 20/20.

The Color requirements are also the same for any technical rate which deals with Electronics. The reason is obvious - you cannot work on Electronics, or in the SEAL's case, bombs, if you are color blind either partially or completely. The danger to yourself and to others is just too great.

Because a ship is made of metal, which can affect the accuracy of a standard magnetic compass. Also, a gyrocompass is is better able to point to the true north, which is more accurate to navigation than magnetic North, which is not actually true North.

Inter-service cooperation exists between all branches, although the Marines do traditionally have a much closer relationship with the Navy than the Army does.

Virtually every job in the Navy requires some type of clearance, even if it's just a Confidential. For combat infantry trained units, that comes down to the SEAL's and SeaBees, both of which require minimum Secret clearances.

Nave SEAL's are ranked from officers (any rank) down to Petty Officer 3rd Class.

Deck.

"Hit the deck" = "Get on the floor" etc.

It depends on the separation agreement; if it's formal, legal separation, then no. If it's just an informal "I'm moving out for a while", the technically yes, but it would depend on whether or not it reflected badly on the Navy itself.

Bottom line is, what you do in your private life (good, bad, or otherwise) they don't really care about, unless it affects the Navy's image, your bearing as a Sailor, duty status, involves criminal activity, unit effectiveness/readiness (e.g., having an affair with a crewmember or someone in your chain of command), etc.

It's more of a bigger deal for officers than enlisted, though again, it depends on how it affects your duty status.

If the individual's service number is unknown, it can usually be located by specifying the individual's name, his command, and when he served in a letter to the Modern Military Branch, National Archives and Records Administration, 8601 Adelphi Road College Park, MD 20740. That office can usually discern the service number from the command's muster rolls or the list of officers in the deck log of a ship, if the individual served between 1941 and the 1970.

MISSION:

The mission of the Navy is to maintain, train and equip combat-ready Naval forces capable of winning wars, deterring aggression and maintaining freedom of the seas.

VISION:

The U.S. Navy will remain critical to our national security and our economic prosperity.

My Dad was on the Parks. I don't know about this but do know that young sailors were put through mock ceremonies and initiations to mark their crossing of the equator and some other milestones achieved.

roughly 20-25 days, depending on many different factors such as ship speed, orders, water conditions, etc

Depends. Aeronautical badges and the space badge can be worn as group 3 badges. Badges that solely denote occupation (communications, acquisitions, logistics, etc...) can not be worn.

With ribbons, Marksmanship and Longevity can not be worn. All others can be.

Currently there is only one commissioned ship named after more than one navy man. The USS The Sullivans (DDG-68), a guided-missile destroyer is named after the five Sullivan brothers. The brothers were on the USS Juneau when it was struck by a Japanese torpedo during WWII. Four brothers went down with the ship and the fifth died in a lifeboat. Another U.S. Navy ship, The Sullivans (DD-537), a destroyer, was named after the brothers in 1943. It was decommissioned in 1974.

There are as far as i know (two) makers of these WWII teapots/tray combo. International & Wallace. International absorbed Wallace in the late 30's.They are almost identical exept for the maker marks. Wallace is known for its high quality silver plate and therefore sales for a bit more then International. tea pot by it's self Low price would be about $50/ High price can go as high as $200 depending on the quality of the piece.The tray by its self would go for 30/high 100. If sold as a set 300 and up.

CA = Cruiser, Armored

In the US Navy, the ranks of "Seaman Recruit", "Seaman Apprentice" and "Seaman" are junior to the rank of Petty Officer 3rd Class. In increasing rank are Petty Officer 2nd Class, Petty Officer First Class and Chief Petty Officer.

So, yes, any of the Petty Officer ranks are higher than any of the Seaman (or Airman or Fireman) ranks.

Yes. Although it is usually avoided, an officer can become a SAR swimmer.

Whatever rank you hold as a reservist is recognised as such within the entire military. A reservist Sergeant outranks an active Corporal. However, there is a saying within the military - "stay in your lane". If the active soldier is not the jurisdiction of the reservist, then that reservist has no business getting in that regular's face and barking orders at them.
