In my point of view my city and around the peoples like my friends, famile members growth and nessecity of my lifestlye changes these are factors are make me think about evaluating and influencing career options...

The maroon ribbon is the Navy Good Conduct Medal; the ribbon is worn in place of the medal when full formal dress requiring medals/ribbons aren't required.

The Secretary of the Navy recently authorized the merging of the Marine Corps Good Conduct with the Navy's - the Navy Good Conduct will be authorized for wear by both Sailors and Marines.

Personnel postured against UTCs P-coded as A/DW_ or A/DXS

Try using the O*Net it will give you a complete job description for a fire officer but it might not tell you the class specifications. Type O*Net in google for website.

The requirement is 17-34 yrs of age for entrance.

CV = Carrier Vessel. CV was originally used for normal large Carriers while CVL was used for Light Carriers that embarked a smaller Airwing than large Carriers and CVE was used for Escort Carriers which were to slow to keep up with the fleet and used for auxiliary duty like convoy escorts, air support and aircraft transport. Later after Nuclear power became common they added a new letter, N.

N = Nuclear.

CVN, Carrier Vessel Nuclear.

IC's are Interior Communications electricians, similar to an Electrician's Mate, but their main focus is on shipboard communications systems ( e.g., 1MC General Announcement, 4MC Emergency, etc.)

There is no limit to the number of dependants a Sailor can have, even when first enlisting. There is a limit to how much money a Sailor gets for their dependants. Check pay scales to see limits.

You where your dress whites in the summer. You can wear them at any time but it is more perferred to wear them at special events. You wear them where ever people would wear a shirt and tie.

Technically they are government property and you shouldn't sell them to unauthorized personnel, but thrift stores and surplus stores will generally buy them, especially if they are near a base.

Yes they must wear certain uniforms in performing their jobs. These employees are entitled to a uniform allowance or to be provided with these uniforms.

Not necessarily in the commercial merchant fleet, but for the Merchant Marine, yes. The U.S. Merchant Marine is actually a branch of the Armed Forces.

There are none, they sit on packed bags (to leave their wives at any second) and go kill Commies when the time is right.

The Vietnamese government cannot arrest a U.S. citizen if the Vietnamese agents are operating within the United States and want to nab the individual here. In the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, however, a U.S. citizen can be detained. Limits on detention are different for those with diplomatic immunity, but anyone other than a diplomat is subject to the laws of Vietnam. Just like a Vietnamese citizen who is in the U.S. would be subject to American laws. One can be arrested in any country where one happens to be. (There are a few exceptions, such as diplomats, etc). Ordinary people don't enjoy immunity from arrest.

If you're referring to warships as opposed to support vessels (tenders, oilers, rescue vessels, e.g.) it varies by class and type, but in general there are several basic weapon types for the different platforms, their distinct types governed by the ship's mission and class.

1. Offensive Weapons - Most ships, save for carriers and smaller vessels, have torpedoes and missiles as their primary offensive weapons. Few ships today have mounted cannons since surface vessels typically work together with other ships and aircraft. Only submarines regularly work alone - though DD's and CG's can and often do work alone, they are typically in constant contact with support aircraft and other surface vessels, where submarines are truly on their own. Missiles can include anti-air (Sea Sparrow), anti-ship (Harpoon, Tomahawk), and land attack cruise missiles (Tomahawk), as well as anti-submarine conventional and nuclear depth charges (ASROC).

Ballistic Missiles - Only Ballistic Missile submarines carry offensive nuclear ballistic missiles. Ships and Attack submarines can carry nukes, but they're cruise missiles.

Mines - All ships and submarines have mine-laying capability, as do aircraft. The type of mine deployed of course depends on the threat and location. The Navy's new LCS class ships are multi-mission functional, and are designed to also perform mine-sweeping operations.

Carriers - Fixed and Rotary-wing aircraft are the primary weapons systems for CV's (any plane / helo is considered to be a weapons platform, as are ships, submarines, etc., as well as a weapon in itself).

2. Defensive - Large vessels like carriers depend primarily on their aircraft and escort vessels to defend them, but they do have an impressive array of defensive weapons as well. All ships carry the Phalanx CIWS anti-missile defense system (Close-In Weapons System) which is a 20mm radar controlled gatling gun with an unbelievable rate of fire and accuracy. It can shoot down an incoming missile or aircraft in range. Though originally designed for incoming missile defense, it has been upgraded with FLIR to defend against surface targets in littoral (coastal) waters (in other words, terrorists in small boats with bombs at night). If you Google it, you can find some really cool test videos of the Phalanx in action. Another variant called SeaRAM, being tested for use aboard the Indepence-class LCS's, is an upgrade that is designed to provide longer range defense against more modern, supersonic surface skimming missiles.

There is also a land based variant called C-RAM (Centurion), being used in Iraq for incoming short range missiles/rockets and artillery. It's currently being evaluated/tested by the Israelis, but they have their own system.

In addition to Phalanx, many ships have surface-air missiles to defend against incoming aircraft and missile threats (e.g., RIM-7 Sea Sparrow), though as I said, since most ships operate as part of a group, they typically rely on aircraft support. But they do have these types of weapons in case air support isn't readily available, or enemy weapons get past the outer defense perimeter.

Countermeasures - most ships do have acoustic countermeasures to try and deal with incoming torpedoes, but in reality if a homing torpedo has a lock on the vessel, it's history.

Small Arms - all ships have small-arms to defend against boarders or other unauthorized personnel. Carriers have their own detachment of Marines to provide ship security, and other large vessels also use Marines for onboard security when necessary. Most ship crews are small arms trained though and provide security for their own vessels.

The answer is yes. The Navy Seals and other special forces will take many different martial arts, and will combine them to be most effctive on the battlefield. Krav Maga is one of those arts used by the Navy Seals, along with many others, like Sambo, Judo, Ninjutsu, ect. (Krav Maga was actually developed and mainly used today by the Israili army and special forces)

Not while they are members of the US Coast Guard. Only US Navy personnel can apply to be SEALS. The selection program is quite competitive.

he is really better, so what mind your own buisness you jealous

I do know people who have done exactly that, but they've all had an MOS in the Army which corresponded with their occupation in the Navy Reserve. However, this may not necessarily be a requirement, although you'll likely have to attend some sort of occupational specialty training if you're not transferring from a corresponding Army MOS. See the website in the related link for more information, including means of contacting Navy Reserve recruiters.

The Officer Candidate school of the US Navy is located at the Naval Station in Newport, Rhode Island. It is how a civilian graduate with no military training can become an officer.

Enlisted personnel cannot resign. They have to serve out the end of their enlistment. Officers resign by sending a letter to the Cheif of Naval Personnel through their chain of command.
