Are there more military enlisted personnel in the Air Force and Navy in 2004 than there are in 2007?
There are fewer people in the Air Force today than 3 years ago, but that is not due to the war. Congress has refused to increase the budget of the Air force, so personnel cuts were made to fund new weapons systems.
Yes, absolutely. When I first enlisted in the Army, they had open posts, which operated under what was called concurrent jurisdiction. What that meant was both the federal and state authorities had jurisdiction over the post, meaning that you might do something on post which wasn't a crime under the UCMJ, but was under state law, and you could be prosecuted by state authorities. One example given was if a soldier was to have sex with a 16 year-old. Under UCMJ, it isn't a crime - the federal age of consent is actually 16 - now, the chain of command would rip you a new one if you did, but for this hypothetical scenario, that's not being taken into account. Since it was an open post, the state also had jurisdiction, and, in that particular state (New York, as my duty station at the time was Fort Drum), the legal age of consent was 17, and the state could have prosecuted someone in that scenario. It works the other way, as well. Ontario was a popular weekend destination. The age of consent there, I was told, is 15. So a soldier might have sex with a 15 year-old in Ontario and break no Ontario law. However, the UCMJ applies to a soldier at all times and in all locations, and, if they were reported to the military police, they would be arrested and prosecuted under the UCMJ.
Established in 1799, the first official U.S. Navy base is the Washington Navy Yard in Washington, D.C. Currently still an active base, among other commands, it also houses the Navy Historical Center and Museum, as well as facilities for local retirement ceremonies. There are several other active Navy commands stationed there as well, including NCIS, CNO, and the Navy JAG Corps.
The Navy Yard was the first Navy shore installation and served as the Navy's first shipyard and ordnance center. It is also the oldest Navy installation still in existence. It is also designated on the U.S. Historical Register and as a U.S. Historical Landmark.
On a more personal note, the Navy Yard is located in Southeast Washington, D.C., and is in one of the most violent neighborhoods in the city. Though security inside the Yard perimeter and walls is extreme, outside the wall it's extremely unsafe. During my Reserve term with the Chief of Naval Operations staff, I visited the Yard many times, always praying that my car wouldn't break down outside the walls.
