well I know the SOFA Agreement. It will keep you from being executed in Germany...say I rob sombody...the Americans would take custody and put me on trail and put me in a military prison. If I KILLED sombody and there was a chance of me getting death penalty, The Germans would claim jurisdiction and put me in german jail, as they have no death penalty( there is in state of Hessen, but german federal law overrides that. Visiting Forces Agreement sounds like you have been watching the movie The Dirty Dozen

Benefits of Tourism\n  \nThere are a number of benefits of tourism for both the tourist and the host destination.  On a large scale it offers a good alternative to some more destructive industries for generating income both on nationally and privately. \nThe tourism industry encompasses many different areas, so it also creates jobs in many different areas.  With tourism comes hotels, resturants, car rental agencies, tour companies, service stations, souvenier shops, sports equipment rentals, and much more.  All of this creates many different levels of employment for people in a given community. \n\nIn many places the introduction and development of tourism allows local people an opportunity for economic and educational growth that would not otherwise be available.  In addition, it allows both the tourist and the local community  a chance to experience other cultures, which broadens understanding. \n\nIf properly used, tourism generated income can be tremendously beneficial to the host country and it's local communities.  Tourism generated income can be used on a national and local level to better education, improve infrastructure, to fund conservation efforts, and to promote more responsible tourism. \n\n\n\nHarmful Impacts of Tourism\nAlthough tourism can be very beneficial, especially economically, to the host destination, there are many strings attached.  Tourism inevitably brings with it environmental and cultural degradation.  Though these impacts are closely enter twined, here they will be addressed separately. \n\nEnvironmental Impacts of Tourism \n\nTourism has vastly different faces, as different people enjoy different types of vacations.  An allocentric traveler would enjoy backpacking through a distant jungle with little more than the bare necessities while some people prefer a beach front luxury hotel with all the comforts andconveniences of  home. \n\nThe introduction of the "mega resort" has been one of the most economically successful and environmentally destructive additions to the tourism industry.  Large corporate owned resorts, which are usually based in countries other than those in which they exist, rarely give back to the local communities on which they depend and thrive.  More often than not, lower level positions such as maids, cooks, waiters, and bellhops are available to the local residents while upper level and management positions arereserved for corporate immigrants. \n  \nThese resorts take away from smaller scale, locally owned establishments and do not contribute to the local communities in a positive manner.  Large resorts are very rarely environmentally friendly, and in turn do not normally attract an environmentally conscious clientele. \n  \nNot only does heavy construction aid erosion (especially in tropical climates) but essentially, construction and development equals pollution.  Tourist generated pollution comes from things such as rental car exhaust and oil leaks, machinery used to build hotels, commercial airplanes, and airport construction just to name a few (McLaren, 1998). \n  \nTo a greater extent, after the completion of construction, tourists as a group consume a tremendous amount of natural resources and produce an equally tremendous amount of waste.  The influx of tourists into a community creates a transient but permanent population increase (McLaren, 1998).  Two major problems arise from a sudden population increase:  an over consumption of resources, and an over production of waste.  Over consumption causes problems such as water shortages, frequent loss of electricity, and over fishing of local waters.  The over production of waste is an ever-present threat to tourist communities.  this shows itself in the form of water and air pollution, liter, and the frequent overflow of sewage systems.  As a result of these types of waste many places experience loss of potable water, loss of local animal populations, and the spread of disease and infection. \n  \nThe degra

Are you just a visitor, or are you meeting a potential fiance'...it all depends, honestly. \n\nAs just a visitor, I found that a visitor can stay as long as six months without a work visa, so long as they meet the following requirements:\n\n"41. The requirements to be met by a person seeking leave to enter the United Kingdom as a visitor are that he: \n\n(i) is genuinely seeking entry as a visitor for a limited period as stated by him, not exceeding 6 months; and \n \n\n(ii) intends to leave the United Kingdom at the end of the period of the visit as stated by him; and \n\n\n(iii) does not intend to take employment in the United Kingdom; and \n\n\n(iv) does not intend to produce goods or provide services within the United Kingdom, including the selling of goods or services direct to members of the public; and \n\n\n(v) does not intend to study at a maintained school; and \n\n\n(vi) will maintain and accommodate himself and any dependants adequately out of resources available to him without recourse to public funds or taking employment; or will, with any dependants, be maintained and accommodated adequately by relatives or friends; and \n\n\n(vii) can meet the cost of the return or onward journey.; and\n\n(viii) is not a child under the age of 18.\n\n\nHope this helps!\nCheck the link if you need more info...\n \n\n42. A person seeking leave to enter to the United Kingdom as a visitor may be admitted for a period not exceeding 6 months, subject to a condition prohibiting employment, provided the Immigration Officer is satisfied that each of the requirements of paragraph 41 is met.

Mr. Informed is a goof.\n\nThe avereage tour is a 8 year commitment. With the first 4 years being active duty and the last 4 being inactive reserve. That means you don't serve the last 4 years unless they really need you back.

One of the main things I would incorporate is to ensure that they are child friendly and family friendly. This immediately increases your target group and opens you tourism market.

It is becoming quite acceptable in the UK Armed Forces for both let alone one member to be on active service and I've heard of children being born and still both members are retained in the Forces. Is your question to do with UK or US?

Your daily needs, your presence of mind, your patience, good memories of your family and friends and lots of love. These things are more than enough for you in your stay abroad. Best of luck!

Naval Recruiting might help with Human Resources, however the core takeaway you can count on with Armed Forces Recruiting is perhaps the most lucrative: Quota bearing sales experience. \n\nYou're selling a product, a solution, a lifestyle with the military. In today's world that is an increasingly difficult sell, but recruiters are still able to be successful. \n\nIf you do a tour as a recruiter and succeed any employer is going to see goals, adaptability, sales skills and discipline. Put simply you're worth a ton of money to any sales manager out there with the right product training. \n\nAs far as HR - the same would hold true as well.

Bonuses are paid for enlisting in a certain rate.  Not all rates have bonuses, and not all bonuses are the same amount of money.  Being Reserves makes it that much more difficult, as there may actually BE a bonus, for say IS, but of the closest reserve base to you doesn't HAVE a need for ISs, than, no, you won't get a bonus.\n\nYou can either talk to your nearest Reserves recruiter and see what's available , or you can go Active and see if you qualify(and would be interested in) any of the current rates that are offering bonuses.\n\nThat being said.. don't enlist just for the money.  It's the wrong way to go.  You will committing  up to 8 years or more to something that you may end being totally miserable in, just for a few bucks.

I think that the NYPD is your best bet.  The benefits package is excellent and you are covered from the first day that you start the job.  Also there are hundreds of units that you can go to you sound like ESU would be the way to go for you.  Also you are able to buy back some of your military time and there is a way that you can get paid for your training while you are in the academy.

I  can't believe some of the info being passed here!  The first responder was correct that it is called "command sponsorship."  The term means a dependent is recognized by the overseas command, with full overseas benefits and post/base allowances.  To gain command-sponsorship, the active duty spouse must agree to serve an additional year "after" you become his dependent.  This law was enacted as sort of a pay back for recognizing and "sponsoring" you.  This also allows you full benefits and entitlements, such as government-paid travel for you, to your husband's next duty station (without command-sponsorship, you'll have to pay for your own travel when leaving Germany).  Once you are comand-sponsored other entitlements such as ration cards, housing allowance, and cost of living allowances are paid at the "with dependent rate;" usually much more than the single rate (if there is one).  Also, things such as eligibility to live on-base are established.  I know the AF processes command-sponsorships routinely, and the process takes very little time to approve (the army shouldn't be too different).  Remember, all privileges and allowances begin once the application is approved.  I would recommend anyone marrying overseas apply for command-sponsorship (provided there is an "accompanied-by-dependents" tour length at that location).  You don't say which specific branch of service, but the sponsor is the only person that can make application for command-sponsorship.  He will need to approach his unit orderly room/admin folks to initiate the process.  Remeber one thing though, regardless of whether you obtain command-sponsorship, you are entitled to medical care through the military.\nIt's not uncommon for med folks, or others, to try and turn you away, but US law allows you medical care based solely on being married to a member of the active duty forces. Even without a ration card, NATO stamp in passport or orther credentials to obtain access to the base, you can ask for an escort if necessary to allow you access to the hospital or clinic ---provided you are in possession of your dependent military identification card.  \n\nIn the end though, comand-sponsorship is in you and your husband's best interests.  Technically, you can't enter any BX or commissary, or other MWR facility.  You can't use the post office and if you purchase anything on base, you are technically responsible to pay the german taxes!  Believe me, the process of applying is very routine, and if you're at a major military  installation, it is a routine process with approval almost all but guaranteed.  While I was overseas, I would estimate several hundred folks (command-wide) applied for sponsorship each year.\n\np.s.  all entitlements apply equally, regardless of branch of service.  Some variations ultimately occur or bad information is used when people in charge of facilities, etc. lack correct knowledge or understanding of entitlements. If someone casually tells your sponsor it's not possible to apply, he's in the wrong place.  He should start at his unit, and then wind up in personnel to submit the proper paperwork.\n\nGood luck
