Can a beard be worn with retired navy uniform?

It depends on the event, and of course assuming you can still fit into it. It's been a few years since I've been even close to fitting into my Crackerjacks.

For Veterans events, it's not an issue; it's only if you're in uniform officially as a sailor on active duty or a Reservist that binds you to uniform regs. For official ceremonies involving you, it's usually case-by-case, but they're pretty forgiving.

Can you join the navy if you have a kid?

Yes and no - If you're a single parent, you're automatically disqualified from joining, unless you make arrangements for someone else to become their legal guardian. If you've got kids and you're divorced, it's okay if you have joint custody; if you have full custody, the single parent rule applies.

The bottom line is that the Navy (or the military in general) is a fluid organization, and there are no set rules for when you may or may not deploy. I've been in a situation where we had to emergency sortie (emergency underway as fast as possible) due to a hurricane heading up the coast; I had no choice but to leave my wife (pregnant in the hospital at the time), and my home (with pets) alone because I had no choice but to get underway. The Navy doesn't want to put anyone who is the sole legal guardian/parent in a position where they'd have to leave their kids alone if there wasn't anyone to take care of them.

For those that think missing a ship movement or deployment because they couldn't find care for their kids will get them sympathy, think again; missing movement or deployment is a serious offense that can get you court martialed.

Are you eligible for a expeditionary medal if you served off the coast of Libya in June 1986?

Yes and no; while your period off the coast of Libya in '86 does fall within established award eligibility guidelines (see below), everyone in your crew would've been eligible as well, and you would've received the medal within a year or less, and it becomes a part of your permanent record and DD-214. If I remember right, in '82 we got our NEM's about 4 months after getting home. While I can't tell you what we were doing, I can tell you our Navigator was chain smoking for 3 days.

The Navy regulation reads as follows:

"The medal will be awarded to the officers and enlisted men of the Navy who shall have actually landed on foreign territory and engaged in operations against armed opposition, or operated under circumstances which, after full consideration, shall be deemed to merit special recognition and for which service no campaign medal has been awarded."

The Navy's criteria for award is:

Eligibility Requirements

(1) The medal will be awarded to the officers and enlisted men of the Navy and Marine Corps who shall have actually landed on foreign territory and engaged in operations against armed opposition, or operated under circumstances which, after full consideration, shall be deemed to merit special recognition and for which service no campaign medal has been awarded.

(2) No person in the Navy or Marine Corps service is entitled to more than one Expeditionary Medal (either Navy or Marine Corps). Participation in more than one expedition will be recognized by the issue of bronze stars (one star for each expedition in excess of one), to be worn on the ribbon of the Expeditionary Medal.

(3) At present, there is a supply of Marine Corps Expeditionary Medals on hand which will be awarded to Marine Corps personnel participating in authorized expeditions. After this supply is exhausted, the Navy Expeditionary Medal will be the only medal awarded to either Navy or Marine Corps personnel for participation in expeditions.

(4) All officers and men of the Navy and Marine Corps who, under the above-mentioned conditions, took part in an operation listed below may submit to the Chief of Naval Personnel or the Commandant, United States Marine Corps, respectively, through official channels, applications for the above medal. The applications should include the names and dates of the expeditions and a statement to the effect that the applicant actually served ashore as a member of a landing party during the period for which the medal is claimed.

(5) Navy and Marine Corps personnel who served in the defense of Wake Island, 7 to 22 December 1941, will wear a bar inscribed "Wake Island" on the suspension ribbon and a silver "W" on the service ribbon bar of the appropriate Expeditionary Medal. (Navy Department General Order No. 84 of 15 August 1936.)

Below are examples of past operations where the NEM was awarded. However, as I indicated previously, the NEM can be authorized and awarded to individuals or units who have participated in classified operations not necessarily in connection with larger operations in which the public is aware. This was very common during the Cold War.

Since you're apparently eligible and don't have one, you probably need to contact OPNAV 09B33 (Awards & Special Projects Branch) in D.C. The address is:

Chief of Naval Operations

(OPNAV 09B33)

If anyone can help straighten out an award that wasn't given to an eligible sailor, it's them.

Can someone join the Navy that is currently seeing physciatrist for general growing up issues?

See a recruiter. You'll see a doctor at MEPS, they just want to be sure you aren't crazy and you won't do anything stupid.

How do you correct magnetic compass on ships?

  1. Anchor the ship in calm water in an area known to have little magnetic divergence
  2. Adjust the anchorage so that the axis of the ship is true to North/South
  3. Move the adjusting magnets for the compass until the compass indicates correctly

Note that different areas experience differing amounts of magnetic disturbance (charts should have indications of the deflections) and that the Magnetic North Pole is not the Geographic North Pole, If you move the ship, the compass will probably point somewhere that is no longer North.

Should you seal stucco?

Stucco does not require a sealant. You may consider doing a sealant if you are doing stucco concrete to protect from the weather.

What is easier to became a Navy pilot or an Air Force pilot?

It of course depends on who you ask, but in general, training for Naval Aviators is more difficult than it is for Air Force pilots. The primary difference is that AF pilots don't have to train to launch and recover from a moving ship in the middle of the ocean in all types of weather, day or night. The analogy is like trying to hit a moving postage stamp in the middle of the ocean. Air Force planes take off and land at fixed-point air bases on solid ground.

What are the 11 General Orders of the Navy?

Here is the U.S. Navy version of a Sentry's 11 General Orders; they are slightly different in the Marine Corps and Army versions.

Who is better the Navy or Marines?

The navy came first and is also one of the oldest Factions of our United States Armed Forces, founded back in the 1700's surrounding our independence declaration. The Marines were founded, at first, to the the ground forces of the navy. The Marines served for a long time as Naval Infantry, but eventually grew to a size where separation was necessary. The current commandant of the USMC has been trying recently to get to where the Navy-Marine relationship used to be. This would mean a Marine detachment on every Naval ship.
The Navy was created first.
