When you enlist in the army when do you get your signing bonus?
Enlistment bonuses are paid at the conclusion of basic training. If you have concluded basic and have not received your bonus payment, contact the finance officer of your unit (if deployed) or send a request for information to post finance (if permanently assigned stateside or at a non-combat installation).
What is the best rate in the us navy?
Though the paygrade is the same (E-1), the recruit's general career path determines which recruit rate they are initially assigned:
Engineering Rates (e.g., Machinist's Mate) - Fireman Recruit (FR) - 1 Red Stripe
Aviation Rates (e.g., Aviation Ordnance) - Airman Recruit (AR) - 1 Green Stripe
All others or non-designated careers - Seaman Recruit (SR) - 1 White Stripe
The Seaman, Fireman, or Airman designation stays with the sailor until such time as they're promoted to Petty Officer 3rd Class (E-4), at which point a career rate has been chosen, and their rate designation is shown on their Rank/Rate patch. The stripe colors are used to denote the area the sailor is striking in (working toward), or has chosen for a full career path later.
As an example, when I first joined, I was a Seaman Recruit, having chosen Submarine Sonar as my career path. Since I was also in an accelerated career path, I left BT as a Seaman, and was promoted to 3rd Class after finishing Basic Sonar school, at which point my rank/rate was Sonar Technician (Submarines) 3rd Class.

What rank do you start as an officer in the navy?
The beginning rank for any Naval Recruit is Seaman. They are also known as E-1's. This is accordance with the enlisted mans rank in the Navy. The recruit will move up in rank as long as they are in good standing throughout their careers.
How would you become a navy seal from high school?
You must already be a member of the United States Navy to start the application process for SEAL. You must be recommended by your immediate Chief, his (or her) officer, and the Commanding officer of the Unit. You must pass a rugged physical fitness test and a written test. You will then proceed to Coronado California Amphib base for further training. Your chances of failing this training are high, about 70%, at which point you will return to your original ship at your original rank and rate.
If you are a civilian there is a contract called the SEAL Challenge (last I checked, they have called it the Warrior Challenge in the past). Under the SEAL Challenge, you will enlist under the Delayed Entry Program, and be screened as a Naval Special Warfare candidate. Once in Boot Camp, you will be trained in the NSW Division and held to higher standards than other recruits. You will have 3 opportunities to pass the SEAL PST, explained below. Once you pass the PST, you are guaranteed your shot at BUD/S. BUD/S lasts 6 months, and is widely accepted as the most difficult military training in the world. There is an 80% failure rate for enlisted men, and the number is higher still for officers. In BUD/S, officers train side-by-side with enlisted candidates, a rarity in the military. After graduation, students continue to train for up to 12 more months in jump training, dive/demolitions training, or language training, depending on the student.
Talk to your recruiter for more information regarding the SEAL Challenge, and start training long before you get to Coronado. Below is the PST, along with recommended scores.
- Swim 500-yards using breast and/or sidestroke in less than 12 minutes and 30 seconds
10-minute rest
- Perform a minimum of 42 push-ups in 2 minutes
2-minute rest
- Perform a minimum of 50 sit-ups in 2 minutes
2-minute rest
- Perform a minimum of 6 pull-ups (no time limit)
10-minute rest
- Run 1 ½ miles wearing BOOTS AND PANTS in under 11 minutes 30 seconds
Competitive Scores:
- 500 yd swim in 9:00 or less (sidestroke)
- 100+ push-ups
- 100+ sit-ups
- 20+ pull-ups (forward grip, no girl-curls in BUD/S)
- 1.5 Mile run in 9:00 or less
You may need to train for up to a year to achieve these scores, but once you have, BUD/S will be much easier for you (not to say that it will be easy).
NOTE: There is no guarantee to BUD/S if you plan on commissioning as an officer. Officer candidates are reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Last I heard, 1 in 6 officers received orders to BUD/S. The SEAL Challenge is an excellent option for college grads, because once they are NCO's, they will be a more attractive candidate for promotion than Joe Shmoe coming out of college with no experience in the Teams.
SEAL stands for "Sea, Air and Land" and is a branch under the United States Navy and the United States Armed Forces. The SEALS are called on for unconventional warfare and fighting. The U.S. Navy SEALS is comprised of the most elite soldiers in all of the U.S. Armed Forces. The badge for the Navy SEALS is all gold with a trident, anchor, gun, and eagle (similar to Anheuser-Busch's eagle of today's beer company).
To become a Navy SEAL, soldiers must complete a six month long training and elimination course know as BUD/S, or Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL. These training camps can either take place in San Diego or Virgina Beach. Soldiers can work on becoming an expert in either diving, demolition, or land warfare. The training also includes the dreaded "hell week", where soldiers are truly put to the test. Only the soldiers that work their extreme hardest advance pass this grueling week. For most people, this task is completely impossible to pass.
To become US Navy SEAL the requirements are: to hold US citizenship, have no more than two dependent minors, be a high school graduate (or meet equivalency standards), 28 years old or less, and have correctable 20/20 vision. If a soldier has met all of these requirements, the only thing stopping them from being a Navy SEAL is the six exhausting months of training.
Once a SEAL, you will be placed in a task unit which consist of approximately 300 personnel. Before deployed for military action, the SEALS train for another 18 months to tune up there skills and become all they can be. Also, being a branch under of the U.S. Navy, the SEALS receive all the benefits that Navy personnel are entitled to. Benefits include health coverage, affordable life insurance policies, several ways to pay for education, and over four weeks of paid vacation every year.
Why did Kaiser Wilhelm have such a big navy?
He wanted to prove that Germany was a great world power.
Can you be a navy seal and be color blind?
No.
Eyesight is the biggest disqualifier for potential BUD/S applicants.
Can you be a US citizen if your child US citizen and your wife are an US citizens?
No. You cannot gain U.S. citizenship just by having a baby in the USA. You (the parent) will still be a citizen of whatever country you already were a citizen of. However, the child will have dual citizenship. This means basically that they will be a citizen of both countries. I am not 100 percent sure of these things, but this is what I have been told. To find out for sure, I recommend you contact U.S. Customs & Immigration.
What is salary for E9 Naval Officer?
An Admiral in the US navy is pay grade O-10, with a minimum salary of a bit over $15,000 per month - since that's the salary for 20 years of service and it normally takes considerably longer than that to reach Admiral rank, a more typical amount would be close to $17,000 per month. Depending on length of service, it could potentially be up to $18,675 per month.
That's for a full Admiral. The lowest "general officer" rank in the US Navy is Rear Admiral (lower half), which is pay grade O-7. To make RDML, you'd normally have to be a Captain for at least three years, and it usually takes 21-23 years of service to reach Captain, so the typical RDML would be making about $11,500 per month.
Who is the Deputy Under Secretary of the Navy?
The Secretary of the Navy, Raymond Edwin Mabus (born October 11, 1948) is 75th United States Secretary of the Navy. Mabus served as Governor of the U.S. state of Mississippi from 1988 to 1992 and as United States Ambassador to Saudi Arabia from 1994 to 1996. He is a member of the Democratic Party.

What age can you retire from army?
Enlisting was changed to 42. I do not believe there is a mandatory retirement age. Admiral Rickover was forced to retire in his 80's after 63 years of service on 31 January 1982. Of course it is more at the discretion of the individual service and the ability of the soldier or sailor to do his assigned tasks, his physical ability.

What is the regulation established the grade of chief petty officer on 1 April 1893?
The CPO rate was actually written into the 1863 regulations of the US Navy. It read, "Precedence among petty officers of the same rate, if not established...will be determined by priority of rating. When two or more have received the same rate on the same day, and the commander of the vessel shall not have designated one of that rate to act as a chief, such as a chief boatswain's mate..." General Order 36 in 1864 established the monthly pay for a Chief Boatswain's Mate and other Chief ratings at $30 per month. It wasn't until April 1, 1893 that the grade of Chief Petty Officer was officially established however, under Navy General Order 409.
What is the rank of job titles in the Navy?
Rank does not go by rate or job title in the Navy or military in general. Rates are determined by years of service, exams, recommendations, and time in rate. For Officers, rank is determined by the same method, though their promotions are heavily dependent on their evalutions and Fitness Report, also known as a FitRep.
Certain jobs in the Navy do require the individual to be of a certain rank - for example, the Chief of Naval Operations is a 4 star Admiral, certain vessels require their Commanding Officers to be of a certain rank (e.g., Commander for Fast-Attack submarines, Captain for a Carrier, etc.)

What was the name given to JFK navy vessel?
JFK had a Star class sailboat (22") named Flash II. He had a Wianno Senior (26") named Victura. I think this is the boat that is seen in the photos of him on deck or at the helm.
He also sailed a boat owned by the Coast Guard called Manitou (62").
