US Navy

For which service branch? For US Army ROTC and JROTC, it's a single silver diamond (or subdued if worn on the ACU uniform). It varies for other branches.

Navy and Marine Corps

MARSOC was created so the USMC could take part in USSOCOM. MARSOC was only created in 2006 and the US Navy SEALs have been around since the 1960's. The reason MARSOC isn't as well known as US Navy SEALs is because they are such a new addition to USSOCOM andthey are still undergoing construction.

The 1 MC stands for the 1 main channel. It acts as the general PA system for the vessel.

Yes he/she is a gazetted officer who equal to tehsildar

It depends on your rate/rank, but yes, the Navy does issue knives, be it seamanship/utility knives or combat knives (SEAL's, SeaBee's).

Gunnery Sergeant is pay grade E7, and the equivalent Army rank is Sergeant First Class.

Yes

Korea Naval Academy was created in 1946.

Not sure but I would think the NAVY

No one - the number of bells given is equivalent to the number of sideboys manning the sides, and the maximum for dignitaries, including the President, is 8.

because they are famous and people know who they are and how they act. With some of the political leaders, you never hear about them until AFTER its time to start thinking about who you are going to vote for. And the celebrities are rich and they could have power.

Hawaii was a regular port of call for US Navy shipping since 1810.

Absolutely not. That's considered fraternization, and is very strictly prohibited.

To be a military nurse, you would go through OBT - Officers Basic Training - which is a bit different from the basic training enlisted personnel go through.

Yes.

and 1962-1988 here:

Since the last register was published in 1988, you must refer to the Department of Army General Orders (DAGO) located on the Army Publishing Directorates (APD) website for awards after the period. http://www.usapa.army.mil/. If you do a search for "DAGO," all the DAGOs will appear for review. Any DAGO with the title equivalent to "AWARDS" should be reviewed.

Bupers can find various types of information on the Public Navy Mil web-site. Some of the type of information includes available jobs and personnel support.

everything that is needed to operate the ship and provide living space for the crew and passengers.

His name is Scott Taylor, a former Navy SEAL and the president of a pro-Mitt Romney group called OPSEC. It should also be noted that other Navy Seals came forward to object, saying the Seals should be non-partisan and non-political.

The US Sixth Fleet received its designation in 1950.

They'd most likely wear it when attached to a Marine Corps unit, but if the Command's uniform regulations authorize it, then yes they can.

The Air Force of a nation usually has more aircraft than the other services combined. If the Navy has aircraft carriers, they need airplanes that can take off and land on those vessels. If the Navy does not have aircraft carriers, they usually have a few land based aircraft. Most Army's have helicopters (aka rotating wing aircraft) and some fixed-wing aircraft. The Marine Corps have a combination of helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft. The Coast Guard have their own fleet of land based aircraft. The Air Force is the main users of military aircraft, but, not the only branch to use them. Generally speaking the civilian police/law enforcement agencies do not use military aircraft, except on special occasions.

Woolery joined right after High School and did 2 years in the Navy. Though his bio doesn't specify the years, since he was born in 1941 and he started working in 1963, it's a good bet he was in during 1959 to 1961 or 1960-62.

First, don't expect much at the local level as far as results go, especially if the recruiter is maintaining recruit quotas. Complaining to the local station head won't do much as they tend to stick together. I'm not saying it's right, but it's reality.

Aside from telling him/her where to stick it, your best bet is to file a complaint with the Naval Recruiting Command that covers the particular Recruiting Station you're having problems with. You want to direct your complaint to the highest level Command for the Region - I've added a link below to the National NRC so you can narrow it down for your area. Address it to the Commanding Officer, and be specific about what occurred - date, time, place (in the office or locally elsewhere), if it involved inappropriate behavior (besides being an ass), and what you've done to bring attention to the issue. If you want to get faster attention, put a CC at the bottom of the letter indicating you've forwarded a copy to your Congressman and Senator - nothing gets a CO motivated like keeping Congress out of their hair. You might even consider CC'ing a copy to the National Navy Recruiting Command in Tennessee.

It's important to add as much factual detail as possible - remember that it's your word against the Recruiter's, but you have no way of knowing if you're the only complainant. Make sure you add contact information, and whether you were a potential recruit, or the family member of a recruit (Wife, Mother, etc.).

If the problem involves a sexual remark or advance, be sure to include that as well. Nothing irritates me more than bad sailors making the rest of us look bad.

Don't embellish things - like Joe Friday said, "Just the Facts". Include what type of resolution you'd like to see happen (formal written apology, etc.).

It's important to understand that Recruiters, like all sailors, represent both their country and their Commanding Officers, and when they act like jerks, it reflects on all of us, both current sailors and Vets like me. No CO likes that type of attitude toward recruits or anyone else, as it fosters a bad impression of the Navy and the military in general. Attitudes have come a long way from when I joined in '79 - back then you didn't wear your uniform on the street for fear of getting attacked or at least harassed.

Whether you get a result or not, I'd like to apologize to you on behalf of the rest of us sailors who aren't asses (well, most of time anyway).

The name is often questioned - frequently the explanation that the deck is where the sailors went in place of a lavatory is accepted. In reality the name originates from the French word for stern, la poupe, from Latin puppis. The means that the poop deck is a stern deck . On sailing ships was usually elevated as the roof of the stern or "after" cabin, also known as the "poop cabin". On old style sailing ships, with the helmsman at the stern, an elevated position was ideal for both navigation and observation of the crew and sails. The name has been carried over to newer ships even thought this original purpose is no longer needed.
