To marry a native national, you will need to obtain written permission from your direct supervisor or commander.

Yes, I have personally seen this. I witnessed the Newport News firing a full broadside, and yes, saw the ship continue straight on it's course, but the recoil of the guns pushed it down and moved it sideways.

There are three Air Force bases in Alaska.

As of right now for a person who is Non-prior Service (never enlisted in any branch of service) the Army's cut off age is 42. However the age is set at 42 years old but the individual must leave for Basic Combat Training prior to the 42 Birthday.

For a person who has Prior Service (has previously enlisted in a branch of service and holds a honorable discharge) there is a math mathematical equation that must be done to determine eligibility. It is based on the previous years of Active Federal Service and your current age. You must be able to retire by 62 years old.

It's the US address for this location: US Army Base, Hohenfels, Germany. It's located in Europe, but for the military to have an "American" address, APO is the country and AE is the state.

Absolutely not - while you can ask for a waiver for previous addiction problems (though it likely won't be approved given the current recruiting climate), you need to be free and clear of any opiates for at least a year prior to enlistment.

Before and after the Articles of Confederation (1877) the Anti-Federalists, such as Thomas Jefferson, wanted the states to be the primary authority over their citizens. Anti-federalists

During this time, the British Navy was decreasing in size and deteriorating. It also had old and outmoded ships.

It was a cargo freighter, not a warship. It was better than any other because it was cheap and simple to build at a time when a lot of ships were needed and a lot of them were being sunk by U-boats. Although liberty ships were never intended for combat use, several were converted during the Vietnam War era to serve in combat functions as intelligence gathering and communications platforms-research ships. Several did see combat, one was responsible for the first sinking of a German surface ship by an American vessel during WW2.

Acceptance to any of the five federal service academies is a remarkable accomplishment. Individuals who are seriously interested in competing for a nomination should seek guidance from an individual who has been involved in the admissions process recently. In 2002 I was accepted to all five federal service academies (USNA, USAFA, USMA, USMMA, USCGA). If you are serious about being a cadet or midshipman I encourage you to immediately seek the advice of someone willing to evaluate your extra-curricular and academic record to provide you guidance geared toward your particular situation. It is very competitive to gain entrance into any of the service academies, whether you apply to West Point(Army), Annapolis(Navy & Marine Corps), the Air Force Academy, the Coast Guard Academy in New London, Ct or even the Merchant Marine Academy. You will need to be in the upper levels of your graduating class, have taken a number of science, math and computer courses, been active in extra-curricular activites or sports. A good background to have is English, Algebra, Trigonometry, Calculus, Chemistry and Physics and computers. If you have a good academic base then you should do well. Realistically speaking, you should start applying during the early part of your junior year in high school. You will need a nomination from either your US Congressman or US Senators. The sooner you start the better your chances. An application would need to be filled out and submitted to the Naval Academy. You can get a better idea of the application process by going to www.usna.edu where you will see a list of steps to take as far as applying. Keep one thing in mind, if you do not succeed your first time around, you can still apply for the class following your original target class. There is also the Academy Prep School option as well which would be for people without strong academic backgrounds. You would spend a year in Newport, RI where you would be sent through a regimen similar to what a Plebe(freshman) at the Naval Academy would face. This would enhance your chances of admission greatly and also qualify you for a Secretary of the Navy nomination should you pass this course of instruction. Also ask if there is a Blue and Gold officer in your area as they can give you more personalized assistance into gaining admission. Good luck if you do decide to apply. It will be a most unique experience.

Yes and no - while a Navy Corpsman is a Corpsman regardless of status, the problem you'd face is with any Security Clearance. FMF and Force Recon members typically hold Secret or Top Secret clearances, and they don't typically authorize those for foreign nationals, only U.S. citizens.

America has a more diverse geographical standing as Canada may have most of the types of land but not as many. We have deserts and wetlands, mountains and canyons, Plautus and plains, oceanic and tropical along with hot or cold climates and many more disasters.

Canada has more a snowy landscape, along with forests.

Both jobs are extremely demanding. One person who qualifies as a SEAL might consider a Marine recon unit to be tougher, yet would always consider themselves the best. The Marine recon team would also feel the same way. Such pride is expected in their teams and expected. As to fact, it depends on the situation, as their training is different (with overlaps of course).

Popeye the Sailor Man came into existence under the Thimble Theater Cartoon Strip in 1919. This was right after World War I. So his uniform was modeled from that era. In 1894 the rank of chief petty officer was established. Chief's originally wore the same uniforms as the other enlisted Sailors, which are better known as "Cracker Jacks." It is interesting to note that the uniform specifications, except for the length of the Cracker Jack jumper, did not drastically change from 1894 through 1973. This is the Jumper you see on Popeye, except his has buttons and at times a red trim which are not regulation. At the same time a need arose to provide a distinctive cap and device for chief petty officers which would not utilize the eagle which was considered the symbol of officer rank. In 1897 we saw the incorporation of a chief's cap device similar to the present design, a gilt fouled anchor with USN superimposed in silver on a billed cap similar to what officers wore. Popeye wears a Chief's Cap but the cap color during this period of time should be the same as the uniform color being worn (white for white, Blue for blue, etc).

So the answer is the comic strip never really addresses his rank. He is either a Seaman wearing an improper cover or a Chief who who is not clear on the uniform regulations (unlikely!)...or an Able Bodied Seaman in the Merchant Marines who wore what ever he felt like.

You are comparing apple and orange, which they cannot be compared.

There is a number of Ph.D. commissioned as a Jr. Lieutenants, and there are 95% of the Captains (O-3 or O-6) have no more than a master's degree. Education compliments promotion, but it does not ensure your success in the military. However, it cannot be denied one fact that there are correlations between good communication/critical thinking skill and good leadership, as these skills are horned through formal education.

Officership in military is largely determined by leadership and management ability, which required many years of experience working in various duties positions. Very advance scientific research projects are usually contracted to civilian scientists while an officer supervises the project.

Most doctorates (psychologists, physicians, chaplains, and scientists) in military start their career in the military at the rank of captain O-3, after they graduated from a professional institution.

In response to the growing threat that Japan represented.

Only at the cost of their careers - any relationship of a personal nature is against regulations (related examples in regulations are dating, shared living accommodations, sexual relations, commercial solicitations, private business partnerships, gambling and borrowing money). The regulations are covered in both the Uniform Code of Military Justice (Article 134), Navy Regulations, and OPNAV Instructions (CNO Policy), which is the preferred guideline. It should be noted that it makes no difference if the members are from separate services.

Aside from long-standing tradition, it has always been found to be prejudicial to the rule of maintaining order and discipline, as it underrmines the military rank and authority structure. Having said that, the practice does occur in secret, and quite often couples will wait until one or the other has separated from the service to get married, at which point there's not much the military can do, unless it can (and wants to) prove that those involved were involved during their time in service together. The problem is that it's virtually impossible to keep such a secret while in the military, and the military does not look favorably on such relationships.

Marriage between 2 enlisted members or 2 officers is quite common, even between those of different services. My own wife and I were both sailors when we were married almost 33 years ago. There were few regulations concerning in-service married couples then, other than there were no guarantees about being stationed together. We were lucky; we only had to deal with 6 months being stationed apart before my wife was able to transfer to my homeport.

No, You just have to be 18 or older, 17 with parents signature.
