No. Walton has portrayed gay characters, but he is married to a woman named Alecia with whom he has two children.

They didn't - there is no LAW mandating the minimum or maximum number of naval vessels, or types, the US Navy may have.

In 1778, the American Navy, led by John Paul Jones, raided the Cumbrian port of Whitehaven.

Liberty ships were built during World War II. These ships allowed for the ability to get war materials to United States soldiers stationed in the Soviet Union and Britain. These ships could be built quickly for this purpose.

Probably not, as only items specified in AR 670-1 are permitted on uniforms (see related link). Some units allow what's known as "local policy", and your chain of command may permit it as they see fit, but again, the likely answer will be no.

It is like fire in hot steel- a battle-ready analogy- all of the Marines are technically part of the Navy. Certain jobs are actually performed by Blue-water Navy personnel who wear -USN uniforms- such personnel include JAG officers ( lawyers) medical personnel ( including Nurses), and Chaplains, strictly speaking they don"t have these occupational categories among the leathernecks, so USN personnel are seconded.

Yes. Starting from midnight, each bell = 2 hours, so, 2 bells = 04:00 a.m.

Yes. This tradition goes back to the British Royal Navy where Royal Marines were used to help with discipline and quell mutinies. Now they are used for a variety of roles.

Also, sheep would be too obvious!

One of the entitlements most new military personnel want to learn about is LEAVE. ... A "pass" (called "liberty" in the Navy, Coast Guard, and Marine Corps) is time-off, not chargeable as leave. Leave is a RIGHT (not a privilege) that is granted by Congress under Federal Law.

It depends on the situation in which the weapon is fired, but in virtually all cases there is no self-destruct after the weapon is fired. The only exception would be a weapon test scenario, but even then the data is collected via telemetry, not from the weapon remains. Even if there were such a mechanism, the resulting impact from such a widespread shrapnel cloud would cause a lot more casualties on the ground than the small impact area of the missile itself should it miss its target. It's the same philosophy used regarding an aircraft's nose guns - the bullets don't self destruct if they miss.

A-A missiles don't really contain that much explosives anyway - at the speeds of today's aircraft during combat, it doesn't take much to damage or destroy an aircraft. Most are heat seeking, meaning they target engines, and jet engines can be destroyed by just sucking in a bird. Aerodynamic breakup does the rest. Usually the explosion you see in gun camera footage is the resulting explosion from the igniting jet fuel, not the missile itself.

It also needs to be viewed from the proper military context in terms of overall casualties. During any air operation, there are strict rules of engagement in all areas of operations, meaning that the pilot must have permission to shoot missiles if over certain areas. Those decisions aren't made lightly, and regard for surface casualties is always a factor. But if the situation requires a missile to be fired, it is usually in one of 2 scenarios:

1. The pilot is engaged in Air Combat Maneuvers (dogfighting) with another aircraft and is trying to save himself or his wingman, or other squadron pilots.

2. The pilot is trying to prevent an enemy aircraft from penetrating friendly airspace to deliver ordnance to military or civilian areas (bombers).

In each case, the ground damage that would be caused by a missile that didn't connect is insignificant compared to that which would be caused by either a destroyed aircraft or a successful bomb drop.

There really isn't a way to have a viable self-destruct anyway in a combat situation. A missile can't be designed to self-destruct at low altitude - an enemy plane evading one would simply need to head for the deck. A pilot engaged in ACM is going to be more focused on the current missile heading for his afterburner than the one he shot that didn't connect.

The point is that anytime a decision to fire a weapon is made, it is understood that there is going to be casualties in the air and on the ground. How many is the key.

For friendly aircraft, missiles use an onboard IFF (Identification Friend or Foe) that interrogates a target for a corresponding transponder signal to tell it if it's friendly or not.

No, Crohn's Disease is an automatic dis qualifier for entry into the armed forces.

CVW stands for Carrier Air Wing. It is the designation used for the aircraft assigned to an aircraft carrier for a deployment. It is composed of aircraft from a number of different types of squadrons. The CVW has a commanding officer that works in conjunction with the Carrier CO to conduct the mission of the carrier.

No - Asthma or lung problems of any type are an automatic medical disqualifier for military service of any type, in any branch.

It doesn't make a difference; if you have been reliably diagnosed with asthma at any age, it's an automatic medical DQ for service in any military branch.

With a Criminal Justice degree, you could become a Military Officer in the US Navy.

Naval Air Station Glynco was created in 1942.

well if your talking about water combot definetly the navy seals, but if your talking hand to hand combat then a green beret, they are tought about a million ways to kill you, like a green beret can break your neck with 1 punch

In the Navy only baptised sailors were able to have a pierced ear. Only after having sailed the seven seas and having crossed the Cape was a sailor considered,"Baptised". The piercing was done as a sign to Neptune and a request that should this sailor ever be in danger at sea, Neptune was asked to protect him and watch over him. This was told to me by an active Navy Admiral and is why during the second world war, in the Canadian & Royal Navy, these were the only branches of military service where enlisted personnel were allowed to have ear piercings.

For most claims since 1970, the veterans' Social Security Number is the service number. For earlier service, they may require the actual service number (i.s. US12345678, RA23456789, NG98765432, AR5678921, etc.) Best bet is the SSN.

A Fast Attack vessel, it was designed to hunt surface shipping and other submarines. It is also capable of transporting and inserting special mission troops (SEALS) and splicing submarine communication cables.

At US naval Academy the popular sports are:

Football, Soccer and water sports

You know, there is no real requirements. It's more of how you rank and how high of resort you pay and others pay to you. The higher you are the more oppritunites you have. (I'm sure you know this) but I'm not sure if your in the military. If so ask a close shipmate or have a 1 on 1 talk with a officer. Show courage and pride! Hope i could help.

The earliest form of U.S. Navy enlisted ratings may be traced to the Petty Officers assigned as assistants to the shipboard warrant officers. The oldest such rating, still in use today, is that of Boatswain's Mate. The rating of Armourer was also in use as an assistant to the Gunner, as was the rating of Carpenter's Mate for members of the Ship's Carpenter's Crew. Informally, the shipboard title of Yeoman was also frequently used, even though this would not be an official rating of the United States Navy until 1835.
