How does the navy count your time in the navy?
The Navy, like any military branch, only counts time that you are actually on active duty; e.g., if you're in the Delayed Entry Program, the time you spend in DEP doesn't count toward your service time.
Essentially it comes down to the time you're actually working as a Federal Employee, which is what all Veterans on active duty are. Even Reservists who aren't called up to active duty only have their time counted toward retirement that they're actually drilling on weekends, on TAD 2 weeks per year, or are called up for extended active duty.
As an example, I spent just over 8 years on active duty in the Navy, and 3 years in the Reserves at the Pentagon. Between those, I had only about 9 years total actual military time counted, even with several weeks on active duty during Desert Shield and Desert Storm.
The Reserve point system lets Reservists accrue 1 point per active duty day, 2 for each drilling day, and 15 bonus points for each year you complete all requirements. You can read more about it at the link below.
What is the capacity of an apache helicopter?
Capacity can mean a lot of things with a helicopter.
If you mean crew capacity?
It's 2 (pilot and gunner) technically 4 as there are emergency seating available on the outside of the chopper just to the side of the pilot on the wing stubs however this has only (to the best of my knowlage) been used once in afgahnistan by a British Pilot.
Capacity on a helicopter is generally a mixture of fuel and ordanance.
The more fuel you carry the less you can theoretically lift-off with. With a full fuel load the maximum take off weight is 23,000 lbs ( taken from wikipedia)

First off, we need to know the location of these stripes. Are they two arched over three "V's" ? Those would be a chief (enlisted rating). If they are long stripes running diagonal on the sleeve, they represent time in service...ie, each one indicates 4 years of service. Hope this helps.
