This is a tricky situation. Is she dating someone else? If so, be respectful and back off. You wouldn't like to be in that other guy's shoes, would you?

It's possible that she may see your relationship as a platonic one. Depending on her personality, she may still want to remain friends, or not.

The slickest way to go about this is to joke around with her and test her reaction. If she has no interest, kill those feelings and move on with your life.

Destroyers (and destroyer escorts) are the workhorses of the navy. They are designed to attack both sea and shore targets. Destroyers provide screening support for an aircraft carrier group. They have anti-submarine (ASW) and anti-aircraft capabilities. The largest can carry helicopters and some can launch cruise missiles.

The short answer is Yes, but there's a lot more to it than that.

Whether or not you become a SEAL or not is strictly up to sheer will and determination. BUDS graduates comprise a very small percentage; it is equivalent to those who begin Martial Arts and reaching 1st Dan level. Only about 1% of those who begin will make it to the end. In some classes, there are no grads.

A GED has nothing to do with any particular job in the Navy - it does however, have to do with your qualifications to join the service. While the Navy and services do prefer a diploma for certain reasons, they will accept a GED for Enlistment. However, there are other more specific requirements for SEAL's/BUDS candidates:

1. Must meet specific vision requirements - they're not posted, but if you're color blind you won't be accepted. Same with any Electronics program - Electronics is one thing - setting and defusing bombs is another. I will say this - Medical requirement tend to get overlooked or are relaxed in wartime because of manpower shortages in all areas. For example, when I was in the Navy, only non-technical rates could be SEAL's (enlisted) - that meant either Corpsman, Yeoman, or a Cook. It has since changed - anyone who meets the qualification requirements and volunteers can apply. I was a Submarine Sonar Tech - my best friend lost one of his SEAL buddies he was with in Iraq to action in Afghanistan, in which he was awarded the Medal of Honor. He was a Sonarman as well. Times change, as do the requirements.

2. You must achieve a high enough ASVAB entrance score - if you're weak in Math, Science, Perception puzzles and similar things, you need to beef up on them. The higher your score is will allow you to pick and choose your career path. At one point only the Army was taking non HS grads or GED holders - about 15 - 20 years ago, they realized that even they were getting so technical they needed people with minimum skill and knowledge levels. Remember asking in school why you'll ever need a subject you were in class for? They were all more relevant than you thought.

3. Must be a MALE U.S. Citizen - though the Navy does accept some Foreign Nationals, you must be a Citizen to be a SEAL. Also, by current law, only males are allowed in the SEAL Teams.

4. Specific medical problems - aside from any vision problems as I noted above, there are certain medical problems that will prevent you from passing the screen for BUDS training. Though the screen is mostly psychological, it is similar to what I had to go through for Submarine Duty screening.

5. Though students I've had who have successfully become SEAL's listened to my advice in that the majority of the training is psychological (the whole purpose of BUDS training is to weed out quitters when it gets REALLY tough) the physical stamina required cannot be underestimated. SEAL's are Olympic athletes and are the best in any element with a gun, knife or bare hands. You cannot get to that level without mental focus and discipline. While it can be learned, it's not easy - you have to have some level of mental focusing ability to begin with. Generally the people who make it are average, but with a mental will and determination that won't let them quit. You do not have to be Arnold Schwarzenneger in muscle, but you do need to be Arnold when it comes to the mental discipline he had when training for Mr. Universe contests. They will build you physically, but they can't build a person mentally if the person doesn't have it to begin with.

If you decide to go that route and ultimately qualify, my advice is this: Whatever the task, whatever the order, no matter how long it takes, no matter what it takes to achieve an objective you're given, do not stop until you've completed it. It doesn't make any difference if you're good with something or not - they can teach you to be good with training. But if you quit, it means you don't have the mental toughness required of SEAL's to survive when things are at there absolute worst. NEVER QUIT.

Glenn Curtiss developed and sold the first aircraft for the US Navy.

Formed in 1945 at the order of then CNO Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, the U.S. Navy's premier flight demonstration team is known as the Blue Angels. For many years, the Blue Angels have performed many flight demonstrations of precision flying at many airshows around the world and the United States.

The Blue Angels, like the Air Force's Thunderbirds, have had their share of accidents in their storied history. Precision flying is not without its risks, and these top Naval Aviators risk their lives at every performance. A single mistake can spell disaster for the entire team. This is why selection for both the Aviators and ground support personnel is limited to only the very best sailors.

It's like an Adult School. People who didn't pass high school, or was expelled, they enter continuation school.

The United States Marine Corp is part of the Department of the Navy they don't have there own Department. Many of the people that work with the Marine Corps are actually Navy personnel. Corpsman, chaplains, JAG, dentists, doctors and nurses are actually Naval personnel assigned to work with the Marines, so they often continue to wear Navy uniforms and are issued Navy equipment.

Long answer, but it is basically the creation of negative space through the shape of the wing and the speed, the plane is then forced upward into the negative space. boo

According to Wikipedia, it was 16% for the 2007-2008 academic year.

If I recall correctly, the year before it was 14%, which was touted as the lowest ever and the lowest among all peer private schools. Part of the reason for that probably is because Deerfield has a rather smaller student population than other schools of similar reputation, like Exeter or Choate, and thus a smaller acceptance to applicant pool ratio. For the 2008-2009 application cycle, the overall acceptance rate was again 16%. However the rate for freshman applicants was merely 13%, and only 9% were accepted from the vast pool of international applicants. Deerfield is currently over-enrolled for 2008-2009 school year due do staggeringly high yield rates (overall-nearly 70%), and is pleased with their diverse, fresh, talented, intellectual, athletic, and truly well-rounded new group of students.

Actually, the Secretary of the Navy is a very real and alive position under the Secretary of Defense. SECNAV(Secretary of the Navy), is the person responsible for the Department of the Navy and who reports directly to SECDEF(Secretary of Defense).

To the OP: I would highly suggest joining the Navy in the officer field. Don't worry about working your way up to like Admiral or something, but at least Lieutenant(O-3).

Afterward, get into the political game. Run for State Senate/House and then move up to Congress. From there, you can meet all of the potential presidential candidates and make sure to be friendly to EVERYONE of both parties. Continue to stay active with the Navy through support, attending Balls, etc. to public declare your admiration for the Navy. Perhaps, even speak to one of the presidential candidates privately and tell his/her your desires in the most tactful way.

Then, hope and pray. It's ultimately the President's choice who to nominate.

Meaning that your not like any one else just like everyone else in the world different witch is good it makes you you.
