Let's see..thumbing through my USCG Regulation Manual....\nArticle 69, section 38D states: "In the event of emergency\nany and all silicionized devices can be used as PFD's."\n\nGuess that is a yes.

Call you local red cross office.  They will have a list of offerings to get your Life Gaurd certification.  YOu will also want to get a WSI (Water Safety Instructor) certification too.  They will have all the information.

Like another person stated it depends on what type of ship you were on. My first ship was an Ammo Ship, the Mount Baker AE-34 and my GQ station was the main sprinkler system system for the cargo decks. My second ship the Sims DDG-18 was Mount Capt.That involved if the computerized fire control went out I was to fire the gun.

If a person goes out in a boat without these things, they are likely breaking maritime law and should not be in a boat.\n\nI suppose if one were familiar with the local ocean currents and weather patterns for the time of year, you could triangulate against those.

If you can get access to the NKO (Navy Knowledge Online) There is a link to the actual Bupers guidelines. The Dive Motivator/Recruiter also has copies. You can contact a dive motivator by contacting the nearest naval base or the training site at Coronado Ca.

There is no "safe" MOS.  if it's needed in the rear, it's needed at the front.  admin, mechanics everyone goes.  Even if you don't go in your MOS you can be detached so something else.  I know plenty of water dogs (water purification or something MOS) who were fapped out to the MP's to do patrols.  If you are afraid of the obligations, look else where.  Coast guard.  Peace Corps.  College.  If you join the military, odds are you'll go at least once.

The class has a good amount of requirements that you must fulfill before becoming a certified lifeguard.  There is the test you must pass that is taken from the lifeguarding book and then there are the rescue skills that will be needed in emergency situations that may arrise while one the job.  The skills you learn are oxygen administration, CPR pro, AED administration, and different methods of rescueing different types of victims with different injuries.  You must also be able to swim 500 yards using 200 yds front crawl 100 yds breaststroke and 200 yds choice between the two strokes. *This is the lifeguarding class provided through the Red Cross*

The merchant marine is not a service and as such you cannot join it per se.  Any commercial vessel registered with the U.S. Coast Guard is considered to be in the U.S. Merchant Marine, so if you wish to work in the merchant marine, simply seek employment on such a ship.  This includes cargo vessels, ferries, cruise ships, casino boats, etc...  Many positions on ships require a Coast Guard license or endorsement.  Contacting your local Coast Guard station is probably a good first step toward employment in the merchant marine.

In most places, a license isn't needed for pleasure boating.  If you are talking about commercial boating, check with your local Coast Guard.

Yes , it is. And this from at least two view points:\n1) The salty marine water is a full of ions, so it represents  very clearly a electrolyte which is a conductive solution. All you need then is some electrodes which should have some differential potential in electronegativity. \n\n2)  The power of the waves which, there are already used as one of the alternative power producing  method. This is used either by actuating some radial turbines, or indirectly some kind of pistons actuated by some floating devices found on the surface of the water, in relative axial motion with respect to the fixed body of the piston. All of this devices are using the power of waves to actuate, then  directly, the generators. \n\nGood luck \nDfriend :)

I think youre talking about ceremonial and inndoor flags not spearfishing harpoons like the guy above.  If so then you can do a search on Finials (the cap on a flag pole), ceremonial flags, or honor guard equipment.  You will have to know the diameter of the falg pole you want to mount the finial.  if you don't want to buy one on line you can try to find them in local hardware stores.  Below are two websites that carry this type of equipment.

That is a pretty tall order.  You will find very little, outside of governmental regulations.\n\nIf this is for the US area, OSHA and the Coast Guard have regulations.  Also American Bureau of Ships\n\nOthers are Safety to life at Sea (SOLAS)  and Intergovernmental Maritime Consultive Organization.\n\nYou can find good information on hydrocarbon processing in documents from Americal Petroleum Institute, Oil Insurance Association, and regulations of freign governments.\n\nYou may find a document called "Mobile Offshore Drilling Units."  It was written to be considered by various governments as a standard regulation\n\nA good book on hydrocarbon processes is "Fire Protection Manual", by Vervalin\n\nIf you have access to a good library, a talk with a librarian would be a good place to start.

This was a particularly mind-numbing investigation, but what I turned up was this--  In the CONFERENCE REPORT ON H.R. 889, COAST GUARD AND MARITIME TRANSPORTATION ACT OF 2006 (House of Representatives - April 06, 2006) under Title IV (Miscellaneous) of page H1660, section 414, 'Opinions regarding whether certain facilities create obstructions to navigation,' it says:\n\n"Section 419 of the House bill requires the Coast Guard to  provide an opinion in writing that states whether a proposed wind energy facility would create an obstruction to navigation in any case in which a person requests the Secretary of the Army to take action to permit a wind energy facility under the authority of section 10 of the Act of March 3, 1899 (33 U.S.C. 403)."\n\n"The Senate bill does not contain a comparable provision." \n \n"The Conference substitute adopts a provision that prohibits the construction of an offshore wind energy facility in Nantucket Sound unless approved by the Commandant of the Coast Guard."\n\n-------\n\nWhat made this tricky, other than the obtuse legalese everything is written in, is that there are five versions of H.R.889, Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation Act of 2005, and even though I had read through the entire bill, I never found the above mentioned section 419.  This was because I had read one of the versions that doesn't have a section 419 listed under miscellaneous!\n\nThe Engrossed as Agreed to or Passed by House version of H.R.889 (Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation Act of 2005) states in section 419, 'Opinions regarding whether certain facilities create obstructions to navigation':\n\n"In any case in which a person requests the Secretary of the Army to take action to permit a wind energy facility under the authority of section 10 of the Act of March 3, 1899 (33 U.S.C. 403), the Commandant of the Coast Guard shall provide an opinion in writing that states whether the proposed facility would create an obstruction to navigation."\n\nOf the eleven officially documented amendments to the bill (7 passed, 1 failed, 3 withdrawn), I found nothing to indicate Section 419, Cape Wind, or offshore wind energy facilities, meaning that it must have only been adopted through a conference proposal as sited in the April 6th report. \n\nAs best I can understand it, all that remains now of Young's efforts to change the bill is the authorization of the Coast Guard Commandant to issue the final ruling on the safe proximity of a wind structure to the shipping lanes, not the originally proposed 1.5 mile restriction. This is the standard procedure that most countries that have these off shore windmills follow, allowing their coast guard equivalent to rule on their placement on a case by case basis.  So, I'm not sure what's so upsetting about this, unless they suspect that the US Coast Guard is in somebody's pocket and will rule unfairly.\n\nAs an aside, Senator Ted Stevens (R-AK), in conjunction with Senator Ted Kennedy (D-MA), has proposed new legislation that would give the govenor of Massachusetts the power to halt the Cape Wind project.
