US Navy SEAL

500-yard swim using breast or side stroke in under 12:30
At least 42 push-ups in 2 minutes
At least 50 sit-ups in 2 minutes
At least 6 pull-ups (no time limit)
Run 1.5 miles in boots and long pants in under 11:30
Members’ vision must be no worse than 20/200 in both eyes. Vision must be correctable to 20/20.

British Infantry

1.5 mile run in under 11min 45 seconds
30 push ups in 2 min
45 sit ups in 2 min
As many pull ups as possible no time limit
a score of less than 10.2 on a bleep test
You have to be able swim to a good standard.

Now i know the seals is harder and im not disputing that but its not much harder than the Infantry fitness level required for the British Infantry. Does that suprise anyone because it does me. I thought it would be devastating just to get to special forces training as i know ours are ( the SAS/SBS ). Paras have to run the mile and a half in under 9min 30 seconds and Royal Marines in under 9 minutes in Britain.

Whats up with military movies and televison shows, not putting name tapes i.e last name and branch that means Marines, Navy, army..Maybe its to save money, I mean it would cost $5.00 to get both. But it makes it complete, a uniform is not complete without name tapes, its consider out of uniform, only recruits in the Marines dont have name tapes. We get our name tapes towards near graduation, because you have to earn the title Marine to be place on your uniform.

My husband is in the military and he received orders stating that he has to report to another post in 3 months. We recently purchased a house and were wondering what happens if we cannot sell our house that quickly. Also, does the Army help with providing him a place to stay (he's an E5) until we can sell our house and move up there (no two housing payments, in other words)? Thanks!

My husband is tired of the same job he has had for 27 years. We were thinking about military service but is 44 years old too old? He is an expert marksman and in excellent health. Not to mention he's really like to help out in special ops. Anybody got the answer?

I truly believe that everyone has the right to voice their opinion. That is a right guaranteed by the great country of the USA. My only concern is that these people actually beleive what they are saying. For Jane Fonda to speek at all is ludicrous. Her credibility was shot after her antics during the Vietnam war. If they truly want people to hear their message then don't use Jane Fonda. In my opinion she should have been charged for treason 34 years ago.

I was reading some news articles, and noticed that when the reporters write about the war in Iraq, they always spell Marine with a capital M. Shouldnt they capitalize the S in soldier? If they dont, isnt that disrespectful to the Army who's doing the majority of the fighting in Iraq?

Which branch would win?


I know the Army is larger and has newer equipment and heavier weapons, but which do you think would win.

I've read a compilation of one-on-one interviews with real-life marines and they all say that the marine corps is better than the other 3. I've always thought that the army was the most competitive of the 4 and had the most responsibility. I'm just a reader so please don't get mad, I'm just curious to know.

When the Americans made the ultimatum to Japan, why weren't they willing to negotiate for the Emporer to have any power, even under a tight leash? Was he really that radical? What were some of his policies that would make the Americans so afraid even after the war was over?
