Can you get into the naval academy without three nominations?
You need to apply to all of your senators and your congressman as each has a set limit of midshipmen they are allowed to nominate. You will only need one nomination to get in.
Who is deadlier marines or navy seals?
They are different compare marsoc to seals then you are talkin USMC special ops and navy marines spec. ops have three years of training after their boot which is harder then any others plus combat diver and parachute men and a whole eight year commitment before you can train for marines recon and force recon
(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.
NsMARSOC - OORAH ~ Semper Fidelis
Most discharges can be upgraded depending on the veterans conducts.99% of the time when a veteran gets a General Under Honorable its considered good enough for the the revue board.That veteran is Entitle to all benifits!The Marines being discharged with less then Honorable will run into a stone wall due to the fact that that branch does frownes on upgrading any discharges!They feel they deserved what the got!
The Navy Discharge Review Board (NDRB) reviews applications from Sailors and Marines seeking upgrades to their characterization of service and/or change to their narrative reason for separation. Regardless of characterization recieved, the applicant must prove inequity or impropriety in their separation process. Upgrades are fairly rare because very few applicant's present clear issues to show impropriety or inequity.
If a veteran was awarded medals for service but never received them how can he get them?
Your representative or congressman might be able to help. We used this resource to get my father's Purple Heart and Bronze Star 50 years after he was wounded in France. An imortant document called the DD-214 is issued to each serviceman upon discharge. Search for it and preserve it. Your nearest VFW post is an excellent place to start a search for assistance.
What is military term suprafy?
This is the saying/ battle cry of the United States Marine Corps. and it is not Suprafy, it is Latin and it is Semper Fi, or in it's whole it is Semper Fidelis which is Latin for Always Faithful. Any marine knows once a Marine always a Marine and always faithful to the corp. and to the country. I was an 0321 Recon Sniper turned chemist, but I still consider the Corps as a major part of my life today.
Hope that helps.

What fuel do non nuclear aircraft carriers use?
When discussing efficiency, it turns out that a conventional carrier is more efficient than a nuclear carrier. This is surprising to people, since it is a popular misnomer that more efficient implies superior in some way. Efficiency is actually the difference in energy produced when a fuel is burned in a power plant compared to the energy output of the plant. This takes into account mechanical and thermodynamic losses. In conventional power generation plants, the difference in energy is about 60%, while in a nuclear power plant, the difference is 66% [3]. This is to say that in a conventional power plant, 2/5 of the fuel is turned into useful power, while in a nuclear power plant, 1/3 of the fuel is turned into useful energy. This occurs because conventional power plants can generate steam at a higher temperature [4], therefore providing more force to the turbines.
Who is the head of the Navy SEAL's?
Admiral Eric Thor Olson, is the eighth and current Commander of US Special Operations Command. (USSOCOM).
What is the best socom us navy seals game?
To me, I think the best Socom game is FTB2 (Fireteam Bravo 2) because FTB2 has lots of missions, you can play online just requiring Internet Connection which is very easy to get. I'll tell you why there is Socom US Navy Seals:Tactical Strike and not a FTB4. Tactical means movement. In Tactical Strike, you have 4 teammates with you in missions. How to play the game? Well, you press o to move your teammates. You tell them to fire your weapons at the enemy; meaning that you don't control the team, you must press circle to move the team and you watch. When you press circle, you get an arrow. Then, you move the arrow where you want to move your team to. It's kind of stupid. So don't buy the game called Socom US Navy Seals:Tactical Strike, I repeat, don't buy the game Socom US Navy Seals:Tactical Strike. I guarantee you that you'll regret it. FTB3 has very few missions to do. 8 missions. And basically, you just repeat those missions to earn more CE. (Command Equity)
What does the abbreviation MML2 stand for in the US Navy?
"MM" is the standard rate designation for a Navy Machinist's Mate; however, there are many levels of MM specialties (e.g., nuclear, motorboat, auxiliary, aviation, etc., which is where the extra letter designator comes from. The increase in MM specialties is due to the Navy's policy of combining some older ratings (e.g., Torpedoman) into the MM rating to save money.
The "L" designation indicates the sailor is a General Level (no specialty) Machinist's Mate; the "2" indicates rank, in this case a Petty Officer 2nd Class (E-5).

Why is it taking so long to hear from my army recruiter about going to meps?
Depending on your location, educational qualifications, moral background, medical background it can be for many different reasons. As of right now the Army is not accepting or enlisting those who hold a GED or lower, how have an major law violations (ie. possession charges, DUI's, ect.), or if you have had medical issues where you were required to get medical documents the recruiter could be waiting to hear back for the results of the Med-Read. Another reason could be that he/she is out of the area for some training or leadership course. If you are not getting the answers you need or getting the response you desire you can always contact another Recruiting Station for the enlistment process.

What were some of the Navy hand signals of World War 2?
Some soldiers used a certain number of fingers to describe how many. they would make a flat hand and point it to show in what direction. and others like putting a flat hand upwards to tell them to hold their position or fire. You can probably find more on the DISCOVERY or HISTORY channels.
Navy SignalsThere wasn't much need for hand signals in the Navy. Signalman used semaphore flags to send messages back a forth between ships, along with flashing light signals.
