seniority

First you need to sign up with the navy to start your trainning. This site here will give you an idea where you start and how to start your navy trainning http://usmilitary.about.com/od/navyjoin/l/aanavybasic1.htm.

You will need to enlist into the Navy before you can start the training. Boot camp is what comes next once you have enlisted, and it takes over 30 months to train a Navy SEAL.

Times were tense during the Cuban Missile Crisis to say the least; there were already several instances between U.S. and Soviet forces that could've led to a further escalation.

A Naval Blockade is considered an act of war. To avoid that, the Kennedy Administration used the term "Naval Quarantine" (semantics), as the crisis played out also on the world stage in the United Nations. Moderates on both sides were doing everything possible to prevent the crisis from escalating into a full blown nuclear war.

They didn't. The two forces both operate under the Department of the Navy and have a close relationship. Marine forces often provide security on Navy ships, and many Navy ships have Marine units stationed on them (including an air wing) on a semi-permanent basis. Certain "behind the scenes" jobs, such as chaplains or medics, are filled in the Marine Corps ranks by Navy personnel because the Marines don't train those positions. These personnel wear Marine uniforms with Navy insignias. Marine officers are trained at the Naval Academy, and Navy officer training includes some training by a Marine Corps drill instructor.

I believe it is 30 or 35. they might have lowered it though.

Yes, although not in certain places (e.g face) or with anything too obscene.

Normally, Chief Warrant Officers are taken from the ranks of Senior Petty Officers, meaning you must be at least a Chief before you can be commissioned.

However, in 2006, the Navy started a test program called the "Flying Chief Warrant Officer" Program, which allows enlisted personnel E-5 and up to qualify as Naval flight officers. To earn a commission to Warrant Officer 2, the prospect must have at least a 2-year Associate's Degree, and not be serviing in the Diver, Master-at-Arms, Nuclear, SEAL, SWCC, or EOD communities.

The Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) reviews and approves all proposed regulations/changes and forwards them to the Secretary of the Navy for final approval and implementation.

In reality though, regulations are actually drawn up, proposed, or changed by Assistant CNO's, of which there are one for each Naval Warfare specialty - Aviation, Surface Warfare, Submarine Warfare, Special Operations, etc. Changes are proposed or new regulations written based on feedback from Fleet Commanders and Squadron/Divisional Commanders, or they may be as a result of an overall policy change from the Secretary of Defense or from the President. The ACNO staffs are actually responsible for the work on the regulations or changes. The ACNO's approve them, and are forwarded to the CNO for final approval before sending to SecNav for final signature.

The Navy Unit Commendation Medal (I myself have been privileged to receive it) is the Silver Star equivalent award for a Navy or Marine Corps Unit. Established by then Secretary of the Navy James Forrestal in 1944, the NUC is awarded to "any ship, aircraft, detachment, or other unit of the United States Navy or Marine Corps which has since 6 December 1941 distinguished itself in action against the enemy with outstanding heroism but not sufficient to justify award of the Presidential Unit Citation (United States). To justify this award, the unit must have performed service of a character comparable to that which would merit the award of a Silver Star Medal, or achievement of like caliber in a non-combat situation, to an individual. It is also awarded for non-combat service, in support of military operations, which was outstanding when compared to other units or organizations performing similar service."

It is highly unlikely that a NUC would be awarded for any recruiting assignment - however, it would be normal for an individual to receive the Navy Achievement Medal, or in the case of a unit, the Meritorious Unit Commendation (MUC), which I also have. The MUC is typically awarded for excellence in non-combat situations. The NUC is typically reserved for units engaged in combat or hazardous operations meeting the criteria.

The criteria does however leave open the possibility of a NUC award to a support unit like a Recruiting Command ("support of military operations, which was outstanding when compared to other units or organizations performing similar service"), so it is possible. To receive it though, the unit would have to literally out-perform all other recruiting units by a significant margin, and in today's recruiting climate (when unemployment is high people tend to look for government / military jobs) Recruiters are actually turning people away, since they can pick from the best applicants.
