Military - August 2007

Do male and female sailors and soldiers 'hook up' while on ship or deployed? Or do they have to rely on the local civilians?

Flight sgt in CAP. Most of my cadets don't follow uniform standards after I typed a 2 page paper about how to wear them properly and gave one to each of them. And a special 2 of them talk back to officers and me. How can I fix this without them wanting to quit?

I want to join the military right after high school ends which is next june. I think that I want a combat job which I always wanted, but I'm not sure. I have wanted to join the Marines for 7 years, but now Im having second thoughts. I want to join active duty for 4 years then get out of active and join the CA National Guard. I want 100% tuition to college when Im in active duty. I think I want to get into the medical field in my civilian life, but I want a different military job. I want an exciting job in the military not boring. Please tell me branches that have what I am looking for.

The GAO says there are 250,000 weapons missing.
This seems to be the biggest blunder since we came up missing thousands of tons of artillery ammuntiion which has been being used to make the IEDs killing our troops.
Our troops are for the most part the bravest and hardest working of America youth. But thier leaders are the same political appointees as the rest of this administration.
We could reduce the number of Generals by 50% and still have too many.

Fellow service members, does it irritate you when you see military spouses giving advice on military issues when clearly they don't have a freakin clue what they are talking about? Such as:

1) ASVAB scores and testing (If you have never taken it how can you tell people how to study for it or how to interpret their scores. Word of mouth need not apply.)
2) The Red Cross (Stop telling people to contact them for everything. They are there for emergencies, not to collect child support, fix PCS problems etc..)
3) Contact your recruiter. (Duh, what type of answer is that? Maybe the person asking the question wanted an unbiased answer. Of course they know to ask their recruiter.)
By all means, I am not dogging military spouses. But being married to a person in the military doesn't make you an expert on military issues.
Anyone agree?

I was reading a fictional story today, completely unrelated to the war in Iraq. Actually, the story takes place in a completely fictional land and time. Anyway, a character in the story half jokingly asked his commanding officer if "dead" soldiers get paid - the characters were lost and thought dead for over a year. Regardless of the fictional nature of the story, it made me very curious and brought up a bunch of questions. Especially wondering if our own MIA/POW soldiers get paid for time they're unaccounted for?

So here are my questions.

If captured or lost and thought dead either in war time, training or general mission and then a soldier is released, found or returns does the soldier get back pay?

Do surviving family members get any kind of pay for MIA/POWS?

If a body isn't recovered are you automatically considered MIA?

How do death benefits work in these cases?

Lastly, what is active duty? Does it pertain to war time only? What other duty is there?

Thanks

At present a Vietnam Veteran who returned disabled and receives a small disability pension for his impairment. If he is unable to work he is eligible for a Service Pension (Aged Pension). But his disability pension is classed as income, so if he receives 'Rent Assistance', he only receives a percentage of assistance, while any other pensioner receives a greater amount. So a Veteran is discriminated against for fighting a Government induced war.

Currently, I am a PO1 in the United States Naval Sea Cadet Corps (USNSCC). Under public law, Sea Cadets have been given the privilege of wearing certain US Naval uniform attire, provided we wear particular insignia identifying the program we belong to.

I will be a CPO in two months. This obviously means that I will have to change uniforms. However, there are a few problems with this: (1) the USNSCC has a very limited supply of CPO uniforms and cannot afford to purchase new ones; (2) I am unable to afford new ones from the NEX.

Where can I find new, or at least very good, CPO uniforms at a low price???
