Assess if personnel need to be waived from BCA or PRT exercise events

The navy isn't always on a ship. Some squadrons are detached into combat zones.

Basically, the same qualifications as any other lawyer would need - namely, a law degree.

A firm should assess customer needs for urgency to determine priorities for service delivery in accordance with organizational requirements. This is the only way that you can guarantee customer satisfaction.

Sea Basing

No - US Customs used to be a division within the U.S. Department of Commerce. However, after 9/11, it has since been renamed Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) and is now under the Department of Homeland Security.

Well trained is the question. All members of the United States Military are the most well trained. Whatever the job or function. All jobs matter. All take pride in their ability to perform their tasks as well as training and American heart can muster!!! And so, as a former Navy Seal, I can oddly say that I have huge respect for the Marine Corps and all of their people. To say that any of us suck would require an a*s kicking, even if on the Marine Corps behalf. After all, we are all Navy!!!

The Department of the Navy (i.e., the Navy and Marines Corps) have a much larger combined air force than either the ANG or the AF. Naval and Marine Aviators single themselves out from AF pilots as well, and for good reason; AF pilots don't have to worry about landing on a moving ship day or night in all kinds of weather. Land based airbases don't move.

The air mission of the Navy is more varied as well; in addition to Carrier operations, there are many Naval Air Stations around the world that you can be stationed at.

Having said that, the AF does have one advantage; they don't have to go to sea and be separated from family for many months at a time. On the other hand, when crisis situations occur on the other side of the planet, the President doesn't send in the Air Force; it's the Navy that gets the call, and Naval Aviators are at the front of those operations. If want to get the most out of military flying, be it in the air or on the ground, you need to be where the action is, and the Navy gets more of it than the Air Force does.

Yes. It is a rare occurance but has been done.

Under military uniform regulations, absolutely not. "Flowers" of any type are not authorized as a uniform device for any regulation Navy Uniform.

However, having said that, it is a long standing tradition for sailors to be decorated with lei's upon arriving in Hawaii, and Naval Commands tend to overlook the rule as long as it doesn't interfere with Navy protocol. For example, they'd overlook it if the sailor was on liberty in uniform (unless there were specific orders prohibiting it by local commands), but would not tolerate the wearing of them on duty.

Most sailors are aware of the uniform regulations - no sailor goes ashore without being first briefed on all rules/regulations to be followed. It's of course different for Navies of different countries, but the U.S. Navy is not blind to decades of tradition either, and fostering cultural good will.

On the left side of the uniform no matter what uniform it is precisely 1/4" above the pocket CENTERED

No - an ENFN is an Engineman Fireman, but not a firefighter. Fireman Recruit, Fireman Apprentice, and Fireman, E-1 - E-3, respectivelym are designations for sailors in Engineering and Hull ratings. It doesn't mean they're firefighters; it's just a traditional heritage naming convention that alludes to the days when firemen kept the boiler fires stoked with coal to keep the ship's steam flowing.

Yes. People flunk out of the US Naval Academy every year.

Against Ballistic Missiles, SM-3, agains regular missiles, SM-2...You have to be more specific

If you mean can you work for the Navy Department as a Government Civil Servant, or even a non-government employee, without any prior Navy or other military service, then the answer is Yes, most definitely. The Navy employs many civilians in various roles all over the globe.

However, having said that, prior Naval or military service is preferable and helpful when seeking such employment, because virtually all Naval rates require a security clearance of some type. Once you've been cleared as part of military service, that Background Investigation stays with you for the rest of your life. Subsequent updates via update investigations augment previous BI data if or when necessary.

If you have complete use and range of motion of your elbow, then you can request a waiver.

In the Navy, the term "LPO" stands for "Leading Petty Officer". While it can and often is a Chief Petty Officer, it is typically associated with a First Class or lower ranking Petty Officer. Chiefs who are Leads are termed "LCPO's".

LPO denotes the senior supervising PO of a group or division on board a ship or at a shore installation. It can be a senior or junior PO - the only requirement is that he / she is officially designated as the supervising PO.

For example, unlike a ship, a submarine does not have a dedicated division which takes care of hull maintenance (e.g., First Division). Deck Division on a submarine is comprised of usually junior crewmen from different divisions (non-nukes). The PO in charge is titled "Deck Division LPO" (a title I once held myself). In my case, I was the LPO for Deck Division in port, but underway, I reverted to a position as a Senior Petty Officer in Sonar Division, but since I was not the most senior or the designated Division Supervisor for Sonar, I was not the Sonar LPO.

yes it does. knock knees or gene valgum is a congenital deformity which affects the athletic performance of an individual. also, having knock knees increases the risk of osteoporosis.

No, the SEALs are specialists, whereas Marines are standard military - excellent standard - but the SEALs have gone far ahead of them in their training.

It honestly depends on what the SEALS are being compared to. In the sake of comparison, take a normal Administrative Marine (this is not due to bias) who may have never been deployed, not received any advanced degree in combat training aside from what we learn through boot camp and MCT, and is generally too busy with duties to advance him or herself in their knowledge and training. We'll call this our mediocre Marine. Compared to say a standard Navy enlisted man or woman whom fulfills the same billet or job, and rest assured the Marine will be better trained for combat in almost every instance. Take that same Marine and compare him to a Navy SEAL who has undergone extensive combat, survival and self defense training, and the SEAL will be the one who will be better suited for combat instances. However, take a top echelon Marine, say one that has been through Force Recon training who puts extreme emphasis on his personal level of training and fitness, and there isn't really anything on the face of this earth, short of a biomechanical robot made specifically for combat, that will be considered better trained.

Yes- this is sometimes used to track whales like blue whales but also smaller fish and sharks. Where can I find the answer for myself?

Compasses fall mainly into two categories: fixed steering compasses and portable hand bearing compasses. There is a third type, called the telltale compass, that is built upside down and fastened to the deckhead so that a person lying in a bunk can see the ship's course displayed overhead, but it's now fairly rare.

Officers outrank enlisted personnel. Thus, a Second Lieutenant - which is 01 - outranks an E6 in any branch of service, whether Navy (Petty Officer First Class), Coast Guard (same rank as Navy), Army (Staff Sergeant), Marine Corps (Staff Sergeant), or Air Force (Technical Sergeant).

The United States Army is the oldest U.S. Military branch. It ties it's roots to the Continental Army, formed on 14 June 1775, before the establishment of the U.S.
