What US ship was captured when battling the Barbary Pirates?

The Philadelphia ran aground in the harbor of Tripoli and was captured. It had been sent by Jefferson in the first Barbary War. He had refused to pay any more tribute to the pirates and in May 1801 the pasha of Tripoli declared war on the US. The congress never issued an official declaration of war, but Jefferson sent a squadron to the coast of North Africa to deal with the pirates. In Feb. of 1804 Lt. Stephen Decatur of the US Navy managed to sail into Tripoli and recapture of the Philadelphia. He burned the ship so the pirates couldn't use it and in doing so became a naval legend. The captain of the Philadelphia was eventually set free and later went on the greatness in the navy. This was William Bainbridge and in April 09 when the navy moved against the pirates off the coast of Africa it was on the USS Bainbridge named in his honor. He would be proud to know this.

Do you have to finish high school to join the navy reserve?

If you have neither, you don't qualify for military service. 20 years ago the Army was the only service left that would take non-HS grads, but since the military has become a very technical place to work, even the Army changed their policy in the '80's.

For both the Naval Reserve and Active Duty Navy you need either a High School Diploma or a GED - at least per official regulations.

In reality though, unless your ASVAB scores are off the charts, the current recruiting and retention climate (retention is always high and recruiting is low during bad economic times as everyone wants to join the military or government) means that unless you show exceptional aptitude, they'll opt for a H.S. graduate before a GED recruit. They will look at the circumstances of your GED though - if you couldn't finish HS for personal reasons (had to take care of a family member, etc.) then that's a major consideration. But most people get a GED because they dropped out and finished later, and in the military's eyes that shows a lack of commitment, and that reflect on the potential recruit's personality. It's difficult in a recruiting environment where the branches can pick only the best recruits available.

Your entrance exam scores are really the key - as an example, I was a fairly average student in HS (wasn't challenging enough), but scored very high on the ASVAB. I had recruiters bugging me for months until I finally joined.

My point is that there are many reasons that people don't finish school, and as long as it doesn't fall into the category of "school sucked so I quit", then a GED isn't necessarily a negative.

What to do after DOR from Navy SEAL training?

It depends on how far you've advanced in training, and what your Navy rate is; DOR's (Drop On Request) can be initiated by the candidate at any time during BUD/S training; not everyone who successfully passes Basic Underwater Demolition will necessarily pass SEAL training as well. If the candidate passed BUD but not SEAL training, they'll have an option for joining one of the UDT teams.

However, most DOR's are during initial BUD/S training, and as such, when the member is dropped, they are returned to their previous status (rate/rank) for reassignment as deemed appropriate by the force detailers. Being dropped isn't a bad mark on your record by any means; the Navy recognizes that the percentage of candidates who successfully become SEAL's is extremely low.

The options today are far better than they used to be years ago; for many years, only those in non-technical rates could apply for SEAL training, of which there aren't many in the Navy now, or then. Typically MS's, YN's, GM's, BM's, etc., applied, and if you didn't make it, you couldn't apply for a more technical rate. Today, any rate can apply, technical or not, giving the candidate better career options if they don't pass.

Is dermal skin piercing allowed in the navy?

Yes - however, you cannot wear anything visible or that would interfere with uniform appearance while on duty. Basically, that means you can only wear pierced earrings while on duty, but only if it's not a safety hazard or would interfere with safety equipment on duty. Nose, eye, lip rings, etc., aren't authorized for wear on duty.

Most people aboard Navy vessels don't tend to wear much jewelry of any type anyway, especially in Engineering or Electrical/Electronic rates, save for maybe a watch. There are just too many risks that jewelry can get caught in machinery, be an electrocution hazard, or even get caught on something if you slip going down a ladder. More than one sailor has lost their ring finger after losing their footing on a ladder and having their wedding band catch on a ladder rung as they were falling.

Bottom line is that Navy vessels are dangerous places to work, and anything that interferes with safety (whether or not the sailor thinks so or not) isn't allowed.

Can a navy seal bring his unmarried spouse?

If he is unmarried, he doesn't have a spouse. By definition, a spouse is the person you are married to. No marriage, no entitlement to move or to benefits.

Deployment orders may allow for dependents to be moved with the sailor. That is going to be based on the location and rank.
