US Navy

Ruffles and flourishes are played for a Navy admiral during certain ceremonial events, such as official arrival and departure ceremonies, changes of command, and other important occasions. The specific timing and circumstances may vary depending on the event.

No, a navy policy does not supersede a DOD (Department of Defense) regulation. DOD regulations are the official guidelines and directives that apply to all branches of the military, including the Navy. Navy policies may be more specific or may provide additional guidance within the framework of the DOD regulations, but they cannot override or supersede them.

Not after doing some serious brig time; regardless of whether or not it's consensual, it's still statutory rape in most States, and the Navy takes such things pretty seriously.

Depending on whether or not it happened on a military installation, the Navy will either let civilian authorities have first crack at it, or if it was on a base, they'll take care of it themselves. If the civilian authorities prosecute first, then the Navy will do its court martial later, and if convicted, a likely dishonorable or bad conduct discharge will follow.

I'm not sure if this is exactly what you are talking about, but in regards to an engineering creed, Navy engineers will use this phrase to describe their responsibilities: "Save the mission, save the ship, save the plant, save the men- in that order."

There are MANY different answers to this question. The navy's ranking system is based upon performance on the job and performance on a written exam. Also, "excelerated advancement" promised to some Sailors upon recruitment can make a difference. I've seen some Sailors make E-7 in as little as 6, others took as many as 20, others still retire after 20 years of service and never make "Chief". Making E-7 requires making the other ranks first. To do that, you have to score well the written exam, and get good evaluations. After that, to make Chief, a Sailor must have a good eval record, score well on the written exam, and go before a board to be select to make Chief. After that, there's an indoc process before being frocked (allowed to wear the rank).

The establishment of the Navy and the Department of the Navy was primarily driven by the need for a maritime force to protect American interests. Major events that contributed to this included the attacks on American merchant ships by Barbary pirates during the early 19th century, the War of 1812, and the growing importance of a strong navy in the face of global conflicts and imperialism during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Ultimately, these events highlighted the necessity of a naval force to defend American trade, secure maritime borders, and project power abroad.

HM2 refers to the rank of Hospital Corpsman Second Class in the United States Navy. It is a non-commissioned officer rank and indicates that the individual is a petty officer. Hospital Corpsmen provide medical care and support to navy personnel both on land and at sea.

A radarman in the US Navy is responsible for operating and maintaining radar equipment used for detecting and tracking ships, aircraft, and other objects. They interpret and analyze radar data to provide situational awareness to the ship or aircraft they are assigned to. They may also be involved in troubleshooting and repairing radar systems.

The number of flags forming a ship's signal letters varies depending on the length and complexity of the letters. Typically, each letter is represented by a combination of two or three flags, called flag hoists. The International Code of Signals provides a standardized system for representing letters and other messages using flags.

There is no specific duration requirement for someone to sign up for Navy Federal Credit Union (Navy Fed). Active duty, reserve, and retired members of the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps, as well as certain civilian personnel and their families, are eligible to join Navy Fed. As long as you meet their membership criteria, you can sign up regardless of how long you have been in the Navy.

There are numerous Navy College locations throughout the United States, as well as online. Some of the main Navy College locations include Naval Station Norfolk in Virginia, Naval Base San Diego in California, and Naval Station Great Lakes in Illinois. Additionally, there are Navy College offices located on many other naval bases and installations.

Joe Sestak became a Navy Admiral in 1985. Later on, after his career in the army, he became a member of the U.S. House of Representatives for four years.

The Navy is organized, trained, and equipped to provide forces to promote and defend U.S. national interests on and under the sea. It has a wide range of capabilities, including maritime security operations, power projection, deterrence, and humanitarian assistance. The Navy's mission is to maintain maritime superiority and protect freedom of the seas, ensuring the nation's security and prosperity.

You can find a list of honorary Navy chief petty officers on the official website of the U.S. Navy. Additionally, you may also be able to find such a list in historical records or publications related to the Navy.

Yes, it is possible for non-US citizens to obtain security clearance in the United States. However, certain restrictions and additional requirements may apply, such as a need for a sponsor who is a US citizen, and the level of clearance may also be limited based on the role or access required. Each case is evaluated individually, and the decision ultimately depends on factors such as the type of work, level of trust, and national security considerations.

The FA-18 Super Hornet can have both single and dual-seat variants. The single-seat version is typically used for air-to-air combat missions, while the dual-seat version is used for training and for coordinating complex missions involving multiple aircraft.

For surface ships, the Boatswain's Mate on watch makes the announcement when directed by the Commanding Officer. For submarines, the Chief of the Watch makes the announcement when directed by the Officer of the Deck (OOD) underway, or the Duty Officer when in port.

Absolutely; if no quarters are available (unlikely) they can be assigned to the next lower rank quarters if available. That happens aboard ship a lot when an Admiral comes aboard and the highest rank onboard is an O-6.

You can always go by yourself but its always more fun with a friend or two, but id say no more then 5 gets sort of crazy otherwise. It is also much safer when there are more people with you especially if you are in bear country. Always pick people that get along well with others. when you have several it makes for setting up camp a lot easier especially when its time to gather wood for a fire or drinking water. Hope this helps

Academy Award winner Ernest Borgnine, who played the lead role of Lieutenant Commander / Commander Quinton McHale on "McHale's Navy" in the 60's, was born in 1917, and is currently 94 years old.

Borgnine was actually a WWII U.S. Navy Veteran, serving a total of 10 years and reaching the rank of Gunner's Mate 1st Class (E-6). He was given the honorary rank of Chief Petty Officer in 2004 by then Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy Terry Scott for his contribution over the years to the Navy and Navy families.

Rumor has it that while under construction the Navy ran short on funds. As a result the boilers came from a salvaged ship resulting in years of engineering problems and problems with retention of qualified engineering personnel. The official log confirms all of the problems. It even states that it took all they could do just to keep the ship moving. As a crew member from 1968 to 1970 I experienced these things myself. I also witnessed a Mutiny dock side in Charleston in 1970 by the Engineering Dept. that kept the "mac" from going to Sea. The mutiny was a result of 3 years of empty promises to correct the problems. The official record states the "Mac" never missed a mission, this is an official cover up. Officers more concerned with their careers than the safety of the crew or the ship got lucky no one was killed. I hope they sleep well at night. I would be happy to hear from anyone with any additional information. I find it very telling that someone asks this question about the boilers
