What is the meaning of the abbreviation of the naval rank CHM?
The use of the word 'rank' for Navy enlisted personnel is incorrect. The term is 'rate.' The rating badge is a combination of rate (pay grade, as indicated by the chevrons) and rating (occupational specialty, as indicated by the symbol just above the chevrons).
The closest I can determine is that CHM is a rating meaning Chief Hospital Corpsman.
The US and Spain were at War and the Spanish Navy's Philippine Squadron was based in Manila. He sought out the enemy and destroyed it, which is exactly what he was ordered to do.

COB stands for "Chief of the Boat", and is the senior enlisted member aboard an active commissioned submarine in the U.S. Navy, regardless of rank.
The position aboard a submarine is equivalent to a ship or shore Command Master Chief; however, the COB can be a Senior Chief (or a Chief in rare circumstances). Typically if the COB is not a Master Chief, he is very close to becoming one, or at least has many years at the Senior Chief position.

A doctoral degree is the highest degree a person can hold in any field outside of medicine. As of 2013, less than 2 percent of the population held a PhD. This is not surprising, since it is a difficult and expensive process to obtain a doctorate.

I want to join the air force but my boyfriend doesnt want me to?
Then he's holding you back. He should support your decision.
Do navy ships have a doctor on board?
It depends on the size of the ship. In the US Navy cruisers, destroyers and frigates normally do not have a doctor on board, they will have a couple of corpsman, sort of super EMTs, to stabilize individuals until they can be medi-vaced to a ship or shore station with a hospital.
Many of the larger amphibious ships and all the air craft carriers will have doctors and dentists aboard.
Who was rear admiral sanji iwabuchi?
He was the Japanese Naval officer who disobeyed General Yamashita's command to evacuate Manila once US forces arrived and ordered his men to garrison themselves in Manila and defend Mailla city to the last man. The ensuing battle cost over 100,000 civilian casualties as well as over 6,000 American casualites.
Iwabuchi's entire garrison was wiped out but they brutally fought to the last man and took out their anger and frustration by murdering and torturing civilians during the month long defense.

Are registered nurses exempt in taking up civil service exam in the Philippines?
Yes, by virtue of Rep Act No 1080 which states that those who passed the board and bar examinations shall automatically be considered as civil service eligible.
It depends on the type of watch, but in general, watchkeeping in the Navy refers to fire/safety/security access patrols at shore bases, and the same thing for vessels in-port.
For vessels in-port, there are also added requirements for different watchstanders to monitor for any draft changes, lists, providing general safety announcements, announcing ranking Naval officers (e.g., ship Captains, Flag Commanders) who are arriving for a visit, and keeping an eye on the surrounding area for any approaching threats (e.g., small boats).
Who owns the naval base in Guantanamo bay?
The Guantanamo Bay Naval Station came into existence following the Cuban-American Treaty of 1903 following the Spanish-American War. At the time, the U.S. had gained effective control over all of Cuba.
The Treaty states that Cuba will lease the Guantanamo Bay area (land and water areas) to the United States, and that while Cuba retains ultimate sovereignty over the area, the United States will have absolute jurisdiction and control. Cuban merchant or non-military vessels have the right to pass through the waters of the Bay.
The whole situation is a dicey one, albeit one that the Cubans have been unwilling to deal with, fearing a war with the United States. The U.S. pays the Cubans just over $4k/yr for the lease, and each side leaves the other alone.
If a soldier in the reserves does not report for duty is he AWOL?

(THE MARSOC MARINES AND SEALS ARE BOTH EQUIVALENT DONT BELIEVE ME JOIN THEM BOTH HARD) I'd SAY MARINES IN MARSOC SINCE THEY HAVE MORE HAND TO HAND TRAINING IF YOUR TALKING ABOUT A FIGHT.
The NAVY SEALS are the most elite, multifaceted, fighting force in the World. Boot Camp does not make them this way, it is the two years of intense training that follows Boot Camp that creates the warrior. Unlike the Marines who go through 13 weeks of Boot Camp. Don't get me wrong, the USMC Boot Camp is very difficult, but in honesty would only equal one week for the NAVY SEALS rigorous training, but if all else fails, throw a couple of Marines in a room with one NAVY SEAL, tell them you'll buy beer for the rest of the night for the last one standing..... I'll put my money on the SEAL. Once again... no disrespect to the Marines, I love all the services and what they fight for.
I'm tired of hearing people say Marines are "tougher" than SEALs and that SEALs are "tougher" than Marines. If one group of the Special Operations community was "tougher or better" than the other then the military would just do away with all of the inferior units and just use one. First of all to clear up your ignorance on the topic. There are different types of Marines out there. There is MARSOC (formally Force Recon), Battalion Recon and just Grunt Battalion. Each of these areas of the Marine Corps specializes in a particular area of operations. MARSOC Marines carry out and conduct the same types of missions as SEAL teams, Army Green Berets and Air Force Special Tactics and is a contributing member of Special Operations Command (SOCOM). Grunt and Recon Battalions operate more closely as a large infantry unit and are under the command of and MEU (Marine Expeditionary Unity) or other battalion commander. Now that you understand the difference lets get back to your once again ignorant and egotistical question. MARSOC (Spec Ops Marines) and Navy SEALs have different paths of training and requirement standards. The SEALs have BUD/S training and has a drop out rate of 70% or more and MARSOC has RIP which has a somewhat higher passing rate, however... The requirement standards to enter into BUD/S are somewhat lower that the requirements for someone to enter into RIP. Just because a Marine may be in top physical condition and score well on his PT may still qualify him to advance on to RIP. When talking about BUD/S, as long as you pass the PT prior to entering then you will head to San Diego and begin the 6.5 month rigors and painful quest to become a Navy SEAL. The reason why RIP has a higher passing rate is because they look for Marines who are "above" average and already posses the determination and physical fortitude to achieve their goals. Both impart values and pride in their training and missions and serve at the same level of expertise and motivation as any other Spec Ops unit. Now when comparing Navy SEALs to Grunt Battalion Marines, your talking oranges and apples here. Navy SEALs have no where near the type of man power capable of carrying out large scale firefights and conventional warfare tactics. I will say that SEALs are certainly capable of duking it out but can easily become overwhelmed if things get too "hot". Same principle goes for MARSOC Marines. Let's take a scenario for example; if my house were under attack by 100 Taliban fighters, I would want the Battalion Marines protecting me, not some 12 man SEAL or MARSOC Team. So to ask who is "better" shows ignorance on all parts and also shows the level of competency people have about our armed services because each branch of the military has its own specialty and as I said before, if one is actually "better" than the other then the more superior branches would dominate. Now to discuss who is "tougher" is a different topic. Navy SEALs and Marines (Whether MARSOC, Batt. Recon or just Grunt Batt) are in my opinion the pretty badass and are very very good at what they do, same thing applies for Army Special Forces and Air Force Special Tactics. These four branches that serve in special operation missions serve and protect this country in every last ounce of individual and team effort on every mission and deployment, and the general public has no clue what its like to be apart of the elite warriors and defenders of this country and the dedication to achieving their goals and perfection on every scale.

Actually a Navy Seal is tougher than a room full of marines but, on the other hand a Marine Raider would kick a room full of Navy Seals Butts.

THEY LET WOMEN IN THE NAVY TOO FAG THEY DONT IN ANY GRUNT, RECON, OR MARSOC BATTALION
why do you think they don't let girls into the SEALs? because not even the toughest men can make it threw without 99% of them wanting to give up. Marines are great don't get me wrong but when i did the SEAL PT training before i left for boot camp...lemme tell ya, that wasnt no BS. the training that you get at BUD/s is the best..less than 10% percent make it threw...once hell week comes around you start to look around and realize that theres only a few left and your trying and giving everything you got to not ring that bell...now i love all branches of services.....but the seals earned the ticket to the party when trouble calls..not many branches can have 5 guys to a platoon and do a mission that 40 guys couldn't handle...during the night...pitch black..silent...rock on seals...goodluck to every branch out there...NSW
FACT: U.S. Navy SEALs are America's
you have to look at the fact that with a lil dedication the majority of people can go through marine boot camp and make it. i have seen nerds, gang members, average joe's make it and become marines. What makes the seals different is bud/s ( and hell week). to be able to suck up the pain and cold and lack of sleep over and over and over that is what separates them. a marine is a pitbull dog with it's leash cut off running around kicking ass wherever. A NAVY SEAL is a pitbull with it's leash cut off but is EXTREMELY trained. they lay low and silent until it reaches it's objective then it unleashs hell!! JUST MY TWO CENTS!
(Sekytwo) HOOYAH!!
This is a stupid conversation comparing a regular infantry marine to a Navy SEAL try comparing a Navy SEAL to a MARSOC marine then I want to here all you Navy SEAL wannabes talk trash on the marines. FACT: MARSOC marines train longer than Navy SEALs and ill prove it. Navy SEALs train for about 2 and a half years. 6 months in BUD/S and 2 years training in the SEAL qualification course (SQT). MARSOC marines train about 6 months longer that is 3 years. 7 months training in the Marine Special Operations School (MSOS) teaching them basic special operations skills. Then 6 months training with the MEUs (Marine Expeditionary Unit) Special Operations Training Group. Then another 18 months training to hone their Special Operations skills to become Elite Warriors. Then it makes me want to talk crap on them.
