DRB stands for Disciplinary Review Board in the navy.

After boot camp, you generally hold the rank of E-1 which is seaman/airman/fireman recruit. During boot camp, you can obtain certain awards that will raise your rank to E-3 upon completion of boot camp. You can also join the Navy as an E-3 depending on certain factors such as education or special programs like recruiting a friend to join you on your ride to becoming a United States Sailor.

Answer is maybe. A seabee is trained to defend him ot her self and that may mean using a weapon to include an asault rifle. However many Seabees work on defended bases or on projects in areas that are safe or considered secure. My point is that they can carry one but it is not a regular thing like Army personnel.

YES! Girls can be navy divers. They can participate in every branch of the navy with the exception of SEALS. But we can dive, we can train for EOD, we can be rescue swimmers and serve on submarines. Girls can do (almost) everything the guys can do.

As of September 2021, the Royal Australian Navy operates a fleet size of 45 commissioned vessels. This includes submarines, frigates, patrol boats, and support ships. The navy's inventory is continuously changing as older vessels are decommissioned and new ones are commissioned.

The first requirement is to complete medical school and obtain your medical license.

'Bill the Goat' is the United States Naval Academy's mascot . [Go Navy!]

Your service time begins when you report for active duty - in the case of the Naval Academy, it's when you report for duty as a Plebe.

The Academy is just an "extended" boot camp and college for officers in training. Recruits with degrees would normally attend OCS, and go through a shorter program to just learn how to be an officer. For enlisted, boot camp is it since there is no degree involved, or at least most of the time. There are those with degrees who choose not to get a commission.

I hate to disagree with you about that but unless the Navy has changed, our time at the Academy did NOT count towards your pay and benefits nor towards your retirement. As neither an enlisted nor an officer you were in between official ranks. Now I was in the Class of 1979 and as a prior enlisted I was a little bit down to find that it didn't do anything towards our longevity. Yes, we were active duty, yes we did have a green id card instead of a red one but that time did not count. Hoss55

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.

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.
