Question about the military?
364661
When it comes to the military, rather we are marching or just walking we tend to start off on our left foot. I don't know the exact reason why but being military we are taught to start off walking or marching with our left foot. It is a way to keep everyone in step and in cadence. If you wanted to you could say Left Right Left Right but Left Left Left Right Left just sounds better. lol

There have been so many changes in the government--I don't feel the military is effected at all.  I'm not in the military but have been a dependent for the past 20 years (daughter and wife).  My father has disliked several people who have run our country and its department of defense.  Did that make him go into early retirement?  No.  I've notice the people I know (not all) who are in the military don't really care about officials.  Sure, they vote but in the end they have sworn to be a part of the military.  Despite who is "in charge" they will continue doing their job.  I also believe the benefits will continue to convince people to join because it seems that's all people care about these days.  This is why I do not feel it will effect the military.

the army, being the largest branch of the military and the most neccessary to hold cities under control natrually they will have the most soldiers there. Saliors from the navy stay on the ships as their name implies, and the amount of people in the marines is much less than the amount of people in the army and in Iraq right now so it cant possibly be the marines. The airforce is based mostly on large bases that are well established and there arnt many of those in Iraq nor do they need large numbers of airforce personell to provide air cover since navy jets can do so and small numbers of fighters can easily do enough damage.

You must go to the base that they are on. Most Commanders don't like it when this happens either. You will get what you want right away. Ask for a supervisor when you get there and you will have no problem. There are company's that do this for a living if you do not want to do this.

Seems like you have gotten a correct answer in here.\n\nThe branches of the military are:\n\nThe Army, Navy and Air Force.  Anything else, as in the Army National Guard (falls under the Army), the Marine Corps (falls under the Navy) and Coast Guard (falls under Homeland Security) aren't actual branches.\n\nThe one thing that does sadden me about nearly ever response here is that most people seem to think the Navy only does things on the water.  That's just plain not true.  Yes, the Navy has a ton of destroyers, submarines, aircraft carriers, etc... but take a look at things, the US Navy has more aircraft than the Air Force does.\n\nYou can't say that the Navy's job is just to move the Marines from place to place and fight battles on the sea.  That's not what we do.  In fact, the Marines now have their own ships and move themselves around.\n\nThe US Navy, the main portion, is divided up into Battle Groups.  These Battle Groups consist of an aircraft carrier, several destroyers/frigates, a sub and other support ships.  These battle groups can go anywhere in the world on a moments notice.  Within a day or so, we can have a massive supply of US military force anywhere we need it.  It would take the Army and Air Force weeks to do what we do.

1. Todays operations are primarily Joint, which means one service alone can not win a war... we all work together to defend our country. So we are all "bada" in our special and unque ways and should be proud of our service heritages.\n\n2. With regards to this question...in my humble opinion I think the Marines are a little more "bada" in the conext of the question. Why? \n\n  a. The Marines do 12-18 months tours vs usual 6-month \n     tours for Navy...thougb I admit the Navy at times does \n     longer.\n\n  b. Being on ship is not fun? Even with hot chow, internet \n     service, phones (carriers), cable TV, and an \n     environment protected from severe weather. Sure, I \n     know...it gets hot on a ship...but try being \n     in heavy canvass tents with no air conditioning for a \n     whole year and camel spiders and scorpions your night-\n     time bunk buddies or getting totally drenched in rain\n     or freezing your tail off in sub-zero weather with no \n     heater available.\n\n   c. I have seen a lot of Marines kicking in \n      terrorists/insurgents doors in Iraq and Afghanistan,\n      getting shot at, etc. As far as the Navy? Well,\n      there's the SEALs... right? I have seen a few Navy \n      seabees doing patrols...rare.\n\nThe bottom line is Marines, Sailors, Airmen and Soldiers have all shed their blood for the principles we stand for... WE ARE ALL BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN ARMS...GUARDIANS OF THIS GREAT NATION...WE ARE ALL B-A-D-A IN WHAT WE DO. Though we all have our favorites... mine being the Army.

It is not about military at all.  They proactively are looking for individuals with a Bachelors degree.  They like accountants, lawyers, and linguists.  Learn Arabic fluently and if you have no criminal background then I could almost quarantee you a job sith the FBI, NSA, CIA, or any other agency.

with the creation of the dept of homeland security, many police depts are getting more extensive training.. however i may be confused in the context of your question... if an enemy was on a mil base.. the military would respond... the military would only assist law enforcement if a state of emergency is declared.. does this answer your question??

That would be the the United States, the Russians equipment is junk and out-dated. Alot of it sat in port to long and rusted away, and they have salvaged most of it out. Our Navy could wipe out a whole country with-out ever setting foot on their land. We have submarines with missiles, and aircraft carriers. You don't have any idea of the firepower, one aircraft carrier would be all that would be needed. I served in the U.S. Navy for 15 years and am currently retired. spc 8, machinist, sp ops, I have 3 purple hearts, and a silver Navy cross from 1982. What is happening with our military right now, is unnecessary with the ground troops, it is ridiculous, and they are expendable to our government. It's all politics on both sides. Good luck to you.

AHHHHHH.  Someone asked a question about my job. *L*\n\nI retired from the Army after spending 20 years as an MP.  I never wanted to do anything else.  It's one of the few jobs in the Army that has a peacetime mission.  We enforce the law on base, and take care of our soldiers when they are off base.  In time of war, we have our law enforcement mission as well as providing escort for various convoys and route recons.\n\nA lot of people don't like the MPs, but they are the same folks that don't like civilian cops.

Military families are well taken care of. They get free healthcare and prescriptions and free living quarters with utilities paid. If they live off post they get additional money for living expenses. My husband has been in for 16 years and he loves his job and his duties as a soldier. He has so many awards, I can't even count them. Some people choose to be a soldier because that's what they want to be in life.
