US Navy

You are given an Field Grade Article 15, demoted in rank, and could be dishonorably discharged from the Navy.

No. Corpsman have different functions in the Navy. The designation that they receive to be "field" Corpsman attached to the USMC is 8404/FMF (Fleet Marine Force).

To acquire this, they attend Camp Johnson, near Camp Lejeune, NC., to receive that training and designation.

As well, a Corpsman at that point has the option of staying Navy regs or going to Marine regs (Haircuts/Uniforms of Navy or Marines)--Exception the "blood stripe" uniform.

The "SW" after a sailor's rate/rank title is his/her warfare designator, in this case, SW stands for "Surface Warfare". It means that the sailor has met the qualification requirements to wear the badge and title.

Unless things have changed, Surface Warfare qualification is not mandatory for all personnel aboard, unlike Submarines. The Submarine Force requires all sailors, from the CO to the lowest rank to be Qualified in Submarines, even though it's an all-volunteer force. Those who cannot qualify are subsequently removed from Submarine duty.

The Submarine Warfare designator is "SS", which stands for Submersible Ships, a throwback to the older submarines of WWI and WWII which were really ships that had limited submerged operational capability.

The SW designation came about when the Assistant CNO for Surface Warfare decided that the surface community should have a qualification system similar to submarines; however, it was only instituted for Petty Officers and Officers, and was not a requirement for everyone. The difference in the two is that for submarines, every member must be qualified in all shipboard systems since submarine casualties/damage control is literally a matter of seconds between life and death. Ships have more leeway in a casualty situation.

Other warfare areas have their own designations and badges as well.

made in Niagara Falls by Oneida Silver Company - 1877 is not the date but a serial number. Fairly common worth @$5.

The technique of the kamikaze was to crash their plane into their target. So they were on suicide missions. This technique was very successful in the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor.

probably a regiment or brigade

As in any part of a job interview, one should always answer honestly. When asked to describe a time when one worked as part of a team, one should draw from one's own experiences in either the workplace, school, or outside interests (e.g. volunteer work, sports). The interviewer likely seeks practical examples of the candidate's teamwork and interpersonal skills. Also, the quality and nature of the candidate's meaningful contributions to the cited team may be assessed. It is also possible that the interviewer wishes to determine the candidate's leadership abilities. The candidate should bear all these points in mind and try to highlight them in his/her response.

No, at least not in any official capacity. The M4A1 SOPMOD is still standard fare for the Navy SEALS, and will likely be replaced by the FN SCAR-L. The interest initially generated by the HK416 by the US military seems to have died down quite a bit, and it's not likely to see any widespread usage in the US military in the face of new weapons such as the SCAR and Remington ACR becoming available, and even as American companies are coming up with gas piston upper designs which are compatible with the M16/M4 lower receivers (although the Taiwanese were the first to make them, essentially doing in 1974 what H&K received so much undue praise for doing with the HK416).

Navy SEAL officers do indeed participate in secret missions. Lone Survivor is actually based on a true story.

Who do the soldiers believe they have captured in scene 4? and who is it really

I have few us navy men stalking a little girl on face book,sara vanderpool is only 14 years old,there is no reason for a grown man to contact this little girl,the first person is jesse james loww the next jayce tagger from colardo springs the next one is mathew piper went to kolbe academmy ,from ilinois, the next one is ,kyle burkett from delta ohio. all are in the usa navy ,kind of funny,there are a few more on her site, you can see the rest of your so called great navy men, on SARA VANDERPOOL SITE ON FACEBOOK, SOME ONE SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS. THANK YOU ,YOU COULD BE SAVING A CHILD .

Have no idea of your meaning of "rank" pay. The pension of a service member will be based on the number of years of service, and the highest pay grade, or the average of the 3 highest years base pay. Serivice members who joined after 1986 also fall under an optional plan known as REDUX. You should consult a military finance office for an accurate answer, but it will be ABOUT 55% of the base pay for a 22 year veteran.

The answer you are looking for is Osama (or Usama) Bin Laden

Special Operations Chief (Chief Petty Officer, E7, SEAL)

My son is a SOCS (Senior Chief Petty Officer, E8, SEAL)

The first ship in the navy named after an enlisted man was the USS Osmand Ingram.

It depends entirely on what you wish to achieve as far as a military career. Both branches have their own unique ups and downs, so what you want to do is the deciding factor.

Few people realize that the Navy and Marines are separate branches under the Department of the Navy. The Marines are essentially the Department of the Navy's land-based attack and security force, as well as sea-based security force for some larger Navy vessels. Though they are an independent force, both work very closely with each other.

The Marines are trained as some of the best killers on the planet - anyone who tells you different is BS'ing you. All Marines are trained as riflemen first, anything else second. It is why their training is more unique than the other branches, and why they are often tasked with leading difficult missions. As an example, it was the Marine 1st Recon Division that spearheaded the invasion of Iraq, not an Army division. If you're looking for a career down the road in government security, police, etc., then the Marines is the way to go.

2 things that are vastly different between the 2 branches - the Marines typically have to do with less (money, supplies, etc.) than the Navy does, or the other branches for that matter. Marines are taught to deal with less so that they can learn to survive in situations where they might not have much available.

The second is family - the Marines are typically harder on families than the other branches, both in attitude and due to the type of assignments they get. Not that they're any different than most sailors who are on long deployments, but the Marines have never really embraced anything that isn't issued to you as being of particular importance. Not all Marine commands are like that, but it's still prevalent.

For technical careers, the Navy is top dog for all the branches. There is no career in the Navy that doesn't have a civilian equivalent, from nuclear engineering to being a cook. The Navy also has its own brand of badasses, as you well know.

One thing that few people who enter the military realize, and something you should consider if you're thinking about joining - to get any real experience that will do you any good after you leave, you really need to put in at least 6-8 years. Anything less is a waste. Most will leave between 8-12 years - after 12, it's not worth leaving since you're close enough to retirement.

You can check my bio page if you want to see where the Navy took me. I have friends and family who were also Marines - in general, most of the people I know who were sailors wound up better off after they left.

If you haven't seen it, you should get the DVD set of "Generation Kill" - it's one of the best modern series on current Marine life (and military life in general) that's been released in recent years.

In the Navy, IT stands for Information Systems Technician. ITs are responsible for maintaining and operating computer systems and networks, as well as providing technical support to users and ensuring the security of information systems. They play a critical role in ensuring the Navy's communication and information technology capabilities.

The military probably wanted to make it appear that the United States was doing better than it actually was.

The U.S. Naval Base Guantanamo Bay is both the oldest U.S. overseas base and the only one to be located within a Communist country. It is not considered an official territory, overseen by the Department of the Interior, but is, instead, overseen by the U.S. Navy.

The history of "GITMO" begins in December 1903, when the United States leases the 45 square miles of land and water from our then Ally, Cuba, for use, primarily as a coaling station.

A later treaty, singed in 1943, reaffirmed and, effectively, prolonged the lease indefinitely. That lease granted Cuba and her trading partners free access through the bay, a payment of $2,000 in gold per year, which equates to roughly $4,085 in 2010, and added a requirement that both the U.S. and Cuba must mutually consent to terminate the lease.

LOL: No US Citizenship is required. However a few people per year are allowed to earn citizenship via service but those numbers are limited.

It's a lot harder if you're in separate services, since the detailers can't really coordinate with each other as easily. However, the services do try to do their best to keep families together as much as possible, if it can be done while still fulfilling overall force requirements. It's easier for Commissioned Officers, though in the end they're still subject to force requirements as well.

My wife and I both knew when we got married almost 30 years ago (we were both Active Duty Navy) that we might not get stationed together. For the first 6 months, we were stationed 5 hours apart until she got a transfer. I had a friend who wasn't as lucky - his wife was a Seabee, and she got transferred to Okinawa when they were stationed for a few months in Charleston.

The best thing to do is talk to each detailer to see how it would affect an interservice couple, since they do it on a case basis, based on duty station and job assignment. They've changed the rules significantly over the years as more women have joined the military, making it more difficult for women to get out (in the old days women just used to get pregnant - they stopped it when they were losing too many). But they want to retain people as well, so they did come up with rules to govern military couples. In our day, there really weren't any rules to speak of. We were very fortunate.

In the end, you know there are absolutely no guarantees - the world political and military situation can change overnight, and in the eyes of the military, force and mission requirements come first before family considerations. That's part of the contract and the deal that goes with being in the military.

I will say this - detailers typically won't commit or promise anything if you're not already married. Even though my detailer didn't make it, I invited him to our wedding since it was close to D.C. just so he'd know I was on the level about getting married. And for those who say long distance relationships don't work, if a relationship is really sound, nothing will stand in your way of getting together eventually. We dated for 5 weeks before I proposed, and we were separated on opposite coasts for 10 months before we were married. Even then submarine duty wasn't real conducive to being home. I figured in our first 5 years of marriage, I probably only spent 2 of it with my wife. Almost 30 years later, I have no regrets whatsoever.

My point is, if it's meant to be, it's meant to be. If not, even though it'll hurt, it won't be the end of the world. Everything happens for a reason.

Absolutely not - there are far more planes in the Navy than there will ever be Academy graduates who are on a flight career path.
