US Navy

Tough to answer. There was a continental navy during the revolution. After the revolution, the navy was disbanded and not rebuilt until 1794 when Congress ordered the building of several ships to fight against pirates.

It doesn't cost anything, but you blood, sweat, tears, and willingness to endure it. And If you get kicked out within the first two years you don't pay. If you get kicked out after that, its about $180,000/ year you attended. As long as you aren't screwing around and going against the honor code you probably shouldn't get kicked out. This is what I know from my cousin, and what I have researched because I am applying.

Navy and Marine SpecOps forces personnel are dedicated to their respective branches; the biggest exceptions are aviation (Naval and Marine Corps aviators fly off of Navy carriers) and Navy Corpsmen, who serve as combat medics for the Marines. The Navy also provides the Chaplains, Doctors, Dentists and JAG officers for the Marine Corps. The only combat trained officers from the Navy that serve with the Marines are those assigned as NGLOs, Naval Gunfire Liaison Officers that work with the Marines in coordinating Naval Gunfire support to the Marine forces. The only other Sailors who train with the Marines are the Navy's SeaBees, who must complete Marine Corps Basic Infantry training.

Their respective missions are also different; where Force Recon is first and foremost an advance scouting/recon unit deep inside enemy territory (ahead of invasion or larger forces), the SEAL's are geared more toward active combat behind enemy lines, as well as providing support to other government agencies (e.g., CIA, NSA).

That doesn't mean that they don't work together; they do. But their respective training is much different.

Of course a Marine can always leave the Corps and become a sailor and try to become a SEAL and vice-versa, but the likelihood of that happening is slim to none, and slim's out of town. Once you achieve the rank, respect, and honor that the hard work and training has given you by being selected, you don't want to leave.

The officially recognized "birthday" of the US Navy is October 13, 1775, when the Continental Congress authorized the outfitting of a "swift sailing vessel . . . for intercepting such transports as may be laden with warlike stores and other supplies for our enemies, and for such other purposes as the Congress shall direct."

Yes. Navy SEAL teams and also the navy sends people on IA (individual augmentee) tours all the time. It was starting to become more and more common when I retired about 3 years ago. I am guessing its still going on. At my command it was a volunteer that usually went but if nobody would volunteer they would pick someone if they had been asked to supply some IA's.

A USN steel constructed battleship which was sunk while docked in Cuba. The sinking sparked the Spanish-American War of 1898.

There is really no reference to which end is which on an Army-Navy retractor.

Perhaps the "deep" end is Navy, and the short end is Army.

Depends on a few factors; time in service, dependents (family/kids), extra pays (fly pay/sea pay).

Avrg: 40K - 50K per year.

Base pay for all E-2's is the same but if married and living off base they will get a housing allowance adjusted to where they are stationed and a small food allowance. You can find all of the pay details by typing in military pay scales or military pay and allowances on the internet.

Go to the military division in which you think you will be better off in, and which interests you the most.Well you have to look at what is important, do you want to make more money? If so then go ahead and forget about the Air Force, reason being is that you will advance way faster in the Navy than the Air Force their advancement is very slow, second do you want to travel, then the navy is the way to go on that aswell because that is what they do, don't let the Air Force talk you up with their Air Force Community College because that is what it is a Community College, the Navy gets Accredited College Credits for the training you do from the American Councel of Education. i don't really know why anyone would ever want to join a organization like the Air Force.

The coast guard is virtually the police of our border waters and is responsible for rescuing people and enforcement of . The navy is a military force around the world that is used to project power and protect the shores of their country.

Lieutenant Colonel, also for Marine Corp and Air Force.

The equivalent ranks are:

Army / Marines / Air Force - Lt. Colonel (Silver Oak Leaf)

Navy / Coast Guard - Commander (Silver Oak Leaf)

Both pay grades are O-5.

No - asthma of any type or degree is an automatic medical disqualifier.

Each soldier on board a U.S. military ship during World War 1 filled out a card with personal information. Upon the ship's safe arrival in Europe, the cards would be mailed back to the United States.

Training consists of learning military ranks, shipboard firefighting, swimming, attention to detail, taking and giving orders, teamwork, physical fitness, and general naval knowledge and etiquette.

It can be rough if you've never been away from home or haven't done any real physical activity in school, but it's rewarding. You learn many new things and how to work as a team. You also learn about your own personal limits and how to break through those limits to be the best sailor and person that you can possibly be.

To many variables, such as how long have they been in the service, what is their pay grade, are they enlisted or officer. For example, I am a E6 with more than 12 years of service..... including different allowance's and housing I take home after taxes 50K a year. This amount will vary by location, if you are married or have children, or the type of duty you are on.

Personally I would think the navy seals. It's all about opinion.

By Naval Tradition is not the correct answer. The precedence is set my DOD and is based on the age of the services.

The Marine Corps has had precedence over the Navy since 1921 because the Marine Corps has been very consistent in citing its origins as the legislation of the Continental Congress that established the Continental Marines on 10 November 1775. In contrast, the United States Navy until 1972 gave various responses to the question of when it was founded, often citing legislation dating from its reestablishment in the 1790s. At the time the order of precedenceof the U.S. services was established, the Navy was using the dates from the 1790s, as its founding, and hence was viewed as a younger service than the Marine Corps. Despite several efforts to reverse the Marine Corps/Navy order of precedence in recent years, it has not occurred.

In fact, the Continental Navy was created before the Continental Marines. On 13 October 1775 Congress enacted the first naval legislation providing for the outfitting of two warships. This marked the beginning of the Continental Navy, the forerunner of the United States Navy. Almost one month later, 10 November 1775, as an extension of that naval legislation, Congress resolved that "two Battalions of marines be raised." Following the Revolutionary War, both services went into abeyance. When they were reestablished in the 1790s, the reestablishment of the United States Navy preceded the reestablishment of the Marine Corps.

An order by the Marine Corps Commandant in 1921 designated 10 November 1775 as the birthday of the Marine Corps. Over the years, the U.S. Navy cited two other possible dates as founding events, the legislation of 27 March 1794, "to provide a naval armament," authorizing the construction of six frigates under the War Department, and the act of 30 April 1798, which established the Department of the Navy.

Despite the existence of these alternatives, the U.S. Navy for fifty years celebrated "Navy Day" on 27 October, as proposed in 1922 by the New York Navy League, in honor of President Theodore Roosevelt's birthday. The Navy had no officially recognized birthday until 1972, when Admiral Zumwalt, Chief of Naval Operations, with the advice of Vice Admiral Edwin B. Hooper, Director of Naval History, authorized observance of 13 October as the Navy Birthday.

Congress limits enrollment to 4,400.

The Academy uses the Navy ram as a mascot.

The actual output of any Navy reactor type is classified, but it's enough to power a small city. There are several types of reactors also, each with their own capability and output.

As far as the US Military goes...

A military members' pay depends on their pay grade. There are three different types of pay grades: 1. Enlisted (E-1, E-2, E-3, E-4, all the way up through E-9), 2. Warrant Officer (WO-1 through WO-5), and 3. Officer (O-1 through O-10). Below is a link for the military pay tables effective 1 January 2008.

There is no such thing as ITN in the Navy. There is IT which is Information Systems Technician. The 3 is their Rank, which would be 3rd class.

Example: Russian Admiral Rozhestvensky commanded battleships during the Battle of Tsushima on 27 May 1905.

You need to send your inquiry / petition to the Bureau of Naval Personnel. Don't be optimistic though - having lived in D.C. for over 30 years and worked at all levels of the Navy, I can tell you that their bureaucratic mindset isn't very flexible. To change their decision (or to admit they were wrong) requires compelling evidence that they weren't "exactly right" to begin with.
