well they didn't really get to vote. But still most of them wanted him to become president. because he led us through the the war of indpendence, the American people didn''t get vote because they didnt know how to . because they just started a new country and they werent that focused on voting. so really who elected George Washington to be the president was congress.

From the official "Chief Petty Officer heritage" page from http://www.history.navy.mil/faqs/faq46-1.htm:

"On April 1, 1893, two important steps were taken. First, the grade of Chief Petty Officer was established; secondly, most enlisted men received a pay raise. The question is often asked, "Who was the first Chief Petty Officer?" The answer is flatly: "There was no first Chief Petty Officer due to the fact that nearly all ratings carried as Petty Officers First Class from 1885 were automatically shifted to the Chief Petty Officer level." Exceptions were Schoolmasters, who stayed at first class; Ship's Writers, who stayed the same but expanded to include second and third class; and Carpenter's Mates, who had been carried as second class petty officers but were extended to include chief, first, second, and third classes. Therefore, the Chief Petty Officer grade on April 1, 1893, encompassed the nine rates shown in Table 2."

USS Houston (CA-30)

USS Houston was a Northampton-class heavy cruiser of the United States Navy. She was the second Navy ship to bear the name "Houston". She was launched by Newport News Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Company at Newport News, Virginia on 7 September 1929. The ship was christened by the daughter of the Houston Mayor, Elizabeth Holcombe, and was commissioned on the 17 of June 1930,

In the United States Navy, the rank of "ensign" superseded passed midshipman in 1862. It is the junior most commissioned officer in the navy, the coast guard, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Commissioned Corps, and Public Health Service Commissioned Corps. The rank is also used in the United States Maritime Service and the United States Naval Sea Cadet Corps. It ranks below lieutenant junior grade and is also equivalent to a second lieutenant in the Army, Marine Corps, and the Air Force.

Depending upon the warfare community, an ensign may go directly to a ship after commissioning to serve as a division officer or receive one to two years of specialty training prior to reporting to an operational unit. Ensigns who become division officers are responsible for leading a group of petty officers and enlisted personnel in one of the ship's divisions (for example, engineering or navigation) while at the same time receiving on-the-job training in leadership, naval systems, programs and policies from enlisted sailors and other officers.

Navy and Coast Guard ensigns wear collar insignia of a single gold bar and because of this share the nickname "butterbars" with Army, Air Force, and Marine Second Lieutenants, who wear similar insignia.

Within the US Public Health Service, those wearing the rank of ensign are part of a commissioned officer student training and extern program (COSTEP), either junior, for those with more than a year remaining of education in a commissionable degree (JRCOSTEP), or senior, for those within one year of graduating with a commissionable degree (SRCOSTEP).[5] Some commissioned officers may hold a permanent rank of ensign based on their experience and education, but hold a temporary rank of lieutenant, junior grade.

There are four reasons that can attributed to their success.

First, the corps is all volunteer and therefore, no one is there that does not want to be.

Second, the training is rigorous and extreme. Within this training comes the marine fighting ethos that marines live and die by. The outstanding history of the Marine Corps is instilled in each marine during this training.

Thirdly, the discipline of each Marine is the highest level of discipline of any fighting force (somewhat biased here seeing that I was a Marine). This discipline is the unseen ingredient in many battles that produces a victory for the marines in that battle.

Marines never, never, let down the man fighting beside them. Each and every Marine will give his life to save the Marine fighting next to him.

There is another aspect of Marine fighting that was true in the 60s during the Vietnam war, but may not be so unique today and that is that the Marines were successful because they went straight at the enemy and did not stop till he was defeated. The strategy that the Marines taught the smallest fighting unit-the squad- was always the same---take the battle to the enemy immediately and without hesitation and do not stop until you have defeated him.

because we are Americas pit-bull. we are teased, beaten, starved, mis-treated, and kept in small dirty, disgusting quarters. every now and then we get cut loose and take our frustrations out on everyone around us. YUT!

It will depend on the number of years served and the rank at that time. For twenty years service, you are entitled to 50% of your base pay. For each year over 20, you receive an additional 2.5% to a maximum of 75% of base pay. The base pay is for the rank at retirement.

Of course, navy aircraft are military aircraft.

US Navy Aircraft Carriers normally operated US Navy aircraft flown by US Navy pilots; however sometimes during WW2 these aircraft carriers had US Army Air Force or US Marine Corps aircraft on-board to be flown-off by Army or Marine pilots. This was for ferrying operations. These aircraft would take off from the carriers but land on an airfield. Army pilots were not trained to land on carriers, neither were the Army aircraft equipped for carrier landings. US Marine pilots & Marine aircraft could operate from carriers if necessary, until they could be established at an airfield.
