If you were the defender with c.100 infantrymen armed with rifles and grenades only (plus 1 heavy machinegun and 1 sniper).

Circular enclosure c.50 yards in diameter. Enemy charging from no more than two directions at once to close-quarters (e.g., Zulu, but with updated weaponry).

Cover behind low walls and sandbags only- no chance of reinforcements or air support.

I'm a LT (SWO) in the IRR. I'm guessing I would just contact my detailer, but I was wondering how long the process takes. Also, would I still be eligible for the SWO bonus coming in from the IRR?

When somebody becomes a user on Y! he/she is supposed to follow the Community Guidelines or Terms of Service.

When somebody has the statement under his/hers photo in About me: "No negotiations"and use sites for propaganda
http://www.vetevendosje.org/
IS IT A VIOLATION ???????
And all of his/hers questions are pro Albanian and anti Serbs:
Why do Serbians treat Serb refugees from kosova so badly?
Why is there such low turnout in Serbian elections.?
Do Serbs think they can occupy Kosova again?
Why Macedonians like Serbs?
Macedonia and Montenegro will recognize independent Kosova. So is Serbia isolated again?
Why does Serbia keep starting wars when it ALWAYS loses!?
Why do Serbs think Russians are on their side?

IS THAT A VIOLATION ????

Do we have to tolerate ?

Or maybe it is the way to help him/her in his/hers dirty work ?

Saddam Husain didn't have any weapons of mass destruction. Why US troops are still there? Bush keeps talking about stabilizing security. Ban Ki Moon UN Secretary General almost got killed when a bomb hit the conference building. I wonder what US troops were doing at that time.
If Ban Ki Moon was killed, whose fault would it be?

I know that my mother got one back in the early 90s after they were married, but I never did. Now I need some sort of government issued ID card to go on a cruise with my friend, but I don't drive and it would take too long to get a California ID from the DMV anyway. Also, he works daily but is not on active duty, and has been serving in the National Guard for 25 years I believe. I just turned 18 last December - so, can I get such an ID?

A Berkeley watchdog organization that tracks military spending said it uncovered a strange U.S. military proposal to create a hormone bomb that could purportedly turn enemy soldiers into homosexuals and make them more interested in sex than fighting.

Pentagon officials on Friday confirmed to CBS 5 that military leaders had considered, and then subsquently rejected, building the so-called "Gay Bomb."

Edward Hammond, of Berkeley's Sunshine Project, had used the Freedom of Information Act to obtain a copy of the proposal from the Air Force's Wright Laboratory in Dayton, Ohio.

As part of a military effort to develop non-lethal weapons, the proposal suggested, "One distasteful but completely non-lethal example would be strong aphrodisiacs, especially if the chemical also caused homosexual behavior."

The documents show the Air Force lab asked for $7.5 million to develop such a chemical weapon.

"The Ohio Air Force lab proposed that a bomb be developed that contained a chemical that would cause enemy soliders to become gay, and to have their units break down because all their soldiers became irresistably attractive to one another," Hammond said after reviwing the documents.

im kind of hoping someone thats been in the navy a long time or retired navy reads this.

basically im trying to see how a permanent duty swap would work, in order to get out of my current duty station. you see its not that i hate where i am, or anything like that.

simply its just not beneficial for me to be at my current station. I am a fleet engineering rate, Machinery Repairman who is stationed with the Seabees. I dont hate the seabees, but, i simply cannot learn my job here. dont have the proper tools, etc etc. and when i approach my chain of command about certain things they want me to do that i simply cannot do because i dont have the proper tools, they look at me like im lying.

the truth is, i am 1 of 2 people with my job in my battallion out of 700 people. no one here understands my rate.

its a lot of rambling, but basically how would i go about getting the ball rolling on trying to duty swap out of here.

I am going to MEPS tomorrow for Navy Corpsman. I'm hoping to go to Radiology Tech "C" school later - but I know they wont guarantee me that.

However, CAN they guarantee that I don't have to serve in Fleet Marine Force? Maybe if I say, either that or I walk out? :/ I have asked my recruiter this question several times and he continues to beat it into me, that FMF is optional.

I am about to marry the man of my dreams in July, he just happens to be an ARMY soldier. It has been suggested to me that I get a book or two about the ins and outs of the army. I looked for a few but I really dont know what to get. I was just wondering if anyone had any recommendations. I would say that I know very little about day to day army life. I dont want it to be a total shock to my system when I join him. I could use a book that tells me very logical army things (terms, rules, regulations, jargon, how things work). But I have been told that there are also books about just surviving being an army wife.

Please dont leave rude inconsiderate answers. I know I dont know anything about the army, you dont have to point it out for me. I'm just trying to prepare myself to be the best, most helpful army wife I can be to support my husband. Thanks!

Is the Navy X-Ray Technician (HM-8451) the same as the Air Force "Diagnostic Imaging" (4R0X1)?

Also, what is the difference between HM-8451 Basic X-Ray Technician, and HM-8452 Advanced X-Ray Technician?

...for HM-8451 it says "Personnel holding HM-8451 are assigned to large combatants and auxiliary vessels, fleet Marine Force units and at a variety of shore locations that have limited X-ray capabilities and equipment."
How would an X-Ray Tech work with the Marines? Would they be getting shot at? :o

I can see arguments on both sides. On the against side it could be said a serving soldier should not have a forum to criticise superior officers in public, on the for side, they are of course adults putting their lives at risk for the west and its values, so why not. What do others think?

We have large bases in Japan and for what? Go ahead all of you experts explain, please.

Japan has weapons for self defense and a military.
Just purchased f-22 from USA.

Korea? What is the USA going to do if Korea does bomb Japan? Send in troops. We have bases in Korea.

We have wholes families in foreign countries that we are paying to support their living there, why?

These bases are full of things such as golf courses, fine dinning, movies, bowling,private marinas and the list goes on.

I'm trying to fly to San Diego to see my sailor. A friend in the army said that he would be able to buy my ticket using his ID so I could get the discount. Is that true? Alot of websites say that I wouldn't be able to use it because were not married yet. I'm about to die from being away from him so long so any help would be great. He can't leave so I have to come see him...and unfortunately for me i'm having financial problems. Thank you!
