What does the shark stand for on naval coastal warfare uniform?
The shark is the symbol of the Naval Coastal Warfare units. It dates back to when the units were created during Vietnam. They were then known as Inshore Undersea Warfare Units. The first were commanded by Inshore Undersea Warfare Group ONE, stood up in the '60s. The Shark mouth was painted on the patrol boats and began to symbilize the fledgling community. The Shark has lighting bolts representing the electronic components of radar surveillence and communcations. The shark also has headphones representing the sonar capabilities of the units. In 2010 the shark was revised under the Maritime Expeditionary Security Forces when the NCW was reorganized to the MESF. The headphones were removed from the shark and a rifle added denoting the landward security and ship protection part of the mission.
Did the Navy or Marines ever use enlisted personnel as aircrew in F-4s?
The F4U Corsairs of World War 2 were fighter planes and only took a pilot into battle. Unlike the British, all Pilots for the United States were commissioned officers. The people maintaining the planes were usually enlisted personnel. (Whether regulations permitted it or not, some enlisted personnel learned to fly the F4).
The F4 Phantoms of the Vietnam War had a crew of 2. I never heard of them taking an enlisted man into battle. I heard of them taking an enlisted man up in one. He worked on the electronics and used the excuse that he wanted to check out the electronics as the pilot put the plane through its paces. During those flights, the plane would be tested at beyond normal limits. He claimed that it was fun.

It depends on if you were charged at the misdemeanor or felony level. If it was the former, then you can apply for a waiver. If it was a felony, then you can request to have it reduced to a misdemeanor, so long as you did not serve prison time. Probation does not affect this. If the charges are reduced, then you can apply for the waiver. You should talk to a Navy recruiter for more details.

-.I belive the question was about the beetle TATTOO and not about the beetle in ancient history significance . "In general any tattoo depending on its location and even color or size has different meanings in different cultures and may have nothing to do with any general explanation or regarding its real significance displayed in the encyclopedia or the history book."Pay attention , If the beetle tattoo is displayed on any finger , hand or shoulder it means that the wearer is a pickpoket and its the only tattoo significance of the "beetle" , But if dislayed on any other part of the body it may mean nothing or whatever you want it to mean.-
How do you find your old CB radio call sign from 1984?
You'd have to remember what it was on your own. CB is - and was in 1984 - a unlicenced service. You weren't issued a call sign by the FCC. If you wished to use one, you'd use your first and last initials, followed by the zip code of your residence (for example, if your name was John Smith and you lived in Bethel, Delaware, you'd use "JS19931", if your name was Tim Timothy and you hailed from Garner, North Carolina, you'd use "TT27529", etc.).
How difficult is Navy Nuclear Power School compared to Caltech or MIT?
There is no question that Navy Nuclear careers are much more difficult than anything civilian training can provide. It's a fact that most civilian reactors are in fact operated by former Navy nuclear-trained personnel.
Naval Enlisted NPS is not easy - unlike a traditional school, in addition to book work and study, you're also required to stand watches and learn reactor operations, maintenance, repair, etc. for your particular area of skill (Electrician, Electronics, Machinist) on an operating reactor. This is why NPS graduates quickly qualify as watchstanders on the ships/submarines they report to - they're already qualified on the systems.
The Navy's program is also a lot more accelerated - remember that in a traditional school, you're not just learning Nuclear Power. You're also stuck with all of the other things a traditional degree entails.
For those lucky enough to go to the Naval Academy, you'll get a degree and the opportunity to train as an Engineer Officer should you choose to go through that career path leading to command of a ship or submarine that is nuclear powered. Such careers are much more prestigious than any traditional degree can afford, but it takes a lot of dedication and much more hard work than any traditional school. The term "Failure is not an Option" is also key on Nuclear Powered Navy ships - a single mistake made by an officer, however small, concerning anything in the reactor or engineering spaces is enough to end that officer's Naval career. I've seen it happen twice during my own Naval tours. The Navy many operational reactor years of experience, and with an exceptionally safe record. It remains that way because it does not tolerate mistakes. You won't see that same discipline in the civilian industry.

What underwater detection devices are used in the military?
underwater listening devices the navy uses sona bouys which is an active systems that is place in a pattern where suspected submarines are, they are launched out of a p3-orion or an S3-viking, also they have a system of underwater microphones called the sousis (maybe not the correct spelling) but it monitored 24/7.
Also, most ships and submarines in the Navy have passive SONAR (listen only mode) as well as active (send a sound, then listen for the return) to detect what is near them in the water. The advantage to using passive, is that if you can keep your own ship quiet enough, the other vessel may not know that they have been detected.
What is the Navy Rate Aircrew?
An Aircrew Rating can be a specialist in any number of specialties from operating tactical weapons and sensors or communications and Electronic Warfare. Rescue divers also carry this rating. The big "goodie" of this rating is flight pay. A small percentage of Naval Enlisted receive this rate and they are generally given rapid advancement and excellent duty assignments. This may not apply over the history of the rate, but should be fairly current. To enlist with this rating requires or required a five year commitment, but assures you of a Class A school and oodles of perks. The training however is tough, requires high intelligence and a high level of dedication.
