US Navy

Tactical Supervising Officer

The Navy SEALs go through very rigorous training, and everybody knows it. However, they ARE limited (which people don't know) as they are trained in small unit tactics, etc. Example, you would not send the SEALs to take out an army. Individual people, yes, but not large forces. The aren't Superman! I think it is because they have a lot of publicity and since Bin Laden and True Valor and Call of Duty, etc., Special Forces and the SEALs get so much attention so people think they can do everything.

The government has waivers for everything; however, if you're currently diagnosed and being treated for asthma, it's an automatic medical disqualifier during your entrance physical.

U.S. Navy RTC or basic training is 9 weeks long. But your first week is for processing mainly.

Sniper is an Army and Marine MOS. It is not related to rank or paygrade.

If he was or is in the military we would never know because he would be the top secret type i definitely believe he is because steven drove a tank in some person's property and killed there chickens

Both a&b. Also they give you lots of shots for it

Yes and no -

It is 'free' in the aspect that you do not pay traditional tuition, room and board, or even meals. You actually earn a small salary while attending, as you are a member of the US military upon swearing in as a Jr Naval officer on induction day.

But by accepting an appointment and becoming a midshipman, you have commitments both during your 4 year stay at the academy as well as military service commitments upon graduation.

Because, based on the original US Navy training pipeline arrangement, the US Navy Class "C" school was the third school in the in-rating (or, within the job title) sequence.

From what I read in a recruiting brochure while processing for enlistment into the US Navy in 1981, The Class "A" schools all teach entry-level skills, the Class "B" schools (used to) teach intermediate level skills, and Class "C" schools teach that specialize on the specific equipment that the trainees will be working on in the fleet. According to the brochure, the Class "B" school curriculum was folded into the Class "C" school courses.

And there is even deeper training beyond that, that are simply called "Advanced Schools" or courses (actually), lasting days or weeks.

An OTH doesn't necessarily impair you in pursuing a new career, but it can level some bias against you when it comes to employment. If you've completed one enlistment and you have a DD-214 with an RE1 to show for it before you got your OTH, it's easier to work around.

AD1 is an Aviation Machinist Mate 1st Class Petty Officer.

They hold the pay grade of E-6, which is the 6th highest

Enlisted pay grade. 1st Class Petty Officer is one rank above

2nd Class Petty Officer and one rank below Chief Petty Officer.

There duties are:

- maintaining and servicing aircraft engine, fuel and lubrication systems;

- handling and servicing aircraft ashore or aboard ship;

performing complete aircraft turboshaft/turboprop engine repair;

- determining reasons for engine degradation via spectrometric oil analysis tests;

- evaluating jet engine performance, using jet test cells for fixed turbojet engines;

- performing helicopter maintenance, installing and maintaining engines, drive accessories and gear boxes;

- performing propeller repairs.

While it is commonly listed as such on discharge papers, it refers to the American Campaign Medal.

It was awarded to service members performing either: 1. One year (consecutive) duty between December 7, 1941 to March 2, 1946 within the continental borders of the United States, or

2. Performing 30 days consecutive or 60 non-consecutive days of duty outside the United States but within the American Theater of Operations.

It may also refer to the National Defense Medal

A nurse in the US Navy obtains her nursing license before signing up for a Navy position. The specific school does not matter as long as it is an accredited nursing program. They will then go through OIS and be commissioned as a limited duty officer.

Huge ammounts of PT. During BUDS as an example, the average distance that a trainee runs each and every day is 12 to 15 miles. Pushups etc. zillions. Long distance swims, up to 10 miles. Standing on your head or other tortures, constant.

the school is real self paced, it usually takes about a month and a half to complete

The U.S. Navy's Riverine Squadrons (3 as of last year), under the command of Riverine Group 1 and attached to the Navy Expeditionary Combat Command (NECC) are not like the Navy's SWCC's at all. SWCC's are trained for SEAL Team insertion and extraction - Rivron's patrol rivers and similar waterways for maritime security and cooperation. Established in 2006 and based out of the Naval Amphibious Base in Little Creek, Virginia (where mosquitoes are many), Rivron's have been deployed to Iraq in support of the war there, having a major impact on arms trafficking on the rivers. The first deployment of such brown water vessels for the Navy in 35 years, they are the descendants of the Navy's river patrol boat squadrons from the Vietnam era (seen in the movie "Apocalypse Now").

Though the sailors of the Rivron's come from all rates, the one common element is that they must undergo Marine Corps Infantry training. As a former Navy Small Arms Instructor, I can attest to the fact the few sailors have the knowledge or training for small arms use on a regular basis, let alone combat situations.

Special Warfare Combatant-craft Crewmen (SWCC's), are a lot more highly trained in many areas. They are masters of SEAL insertion and extraction in all types of weather, conditions, waterways, oceans, environments, etc. The more difficult challenge of the two, SWCC are attached to the Special Boat Teams of the Special Warfare Community.

It is possible that some are still in service in some reserve locations. The 9mm replaced the .45 in the late 1980's. I understand that they are starting to issue a .40 in some places.

They spell it as metre, you are right :)

Military regulations require that all personnel clothing be identified by name, stenciled in permanent ink in certain areas on the pants, shirts, and underwear.

Clean racks (bed), the best food in the military, the most powerful single military force on the planet, good training and pay. But, long deployments and time away from loved ones while you get to literally see the world.

Traditionally Virginia is the home of the Atlantic Fleet.

You still say "Admiral ..." or "Vice Admiral ....", just as you would if he were in active service.

In fact , anyone above the rank of MSGT[ or equivalent rank in any branch ] is subject to recall to active duty in case of National Emergency up to the age of 56 .
