Article 13 of the US Constitution prohibits any US Citizen from accepting a title of nobility or royalty. Beginning with President Reagan, he was knighted by Queen Elizabeth and given the title Sir Knight, a title of Nobility and fidelity to the British Monarch. Likewise, both Presidents Bushs have been knighted by Queen Elizabeth with the additional proclaimation "for services rendered to the United Kingdom." President Clinton was knighted by Queen Elizabeth as well. According to Article 13 of the Constitution, accepting these titles would equate to renoucing citizenship. Some people say the title simply honorary. Indeed it is not the title of Knight p[laces a flag and coat of arms in the recipients name in the grand hall. The title is also hereditery in the UK.
Presidents previous to Reagan had been offered knighthood, for example Eisenhower. Many US generals also offered knighthood by Queens and Kings of England. All had the good sense of declining the offers.

Okay I am an officer(senior Lt in command of a platoon of dismounted infantry) in a armed force that is not American. (just a heads up as this is site is mostly covered by Americans) Anyways, I want to know why my NCO's are all so dumb, and how I can perhaps fix it.

Most of them have problems with simple formal logic and mathematics. Most them have a difficult time reading a battle plan map, and require me to give them instructors along the line of "1 section, move up 2 by 2 to that corner and hold it until 2 section secures that roof top, then move 2 by 2 to the small house here" they can not just read my map/plans and understand, they must ask me to explain in detail.

Finally, many of them seem to think that Drill and Uniform sharpness is more importent then combat skills. I have no idea why.

Why question is, why are these men so short on mental skills.

How to improve these men, so I can count on them ?

For example, If I ETS in January and there is a deployment they want to send me to in January, can they stop loss me so I can go - or do you have to ALREADY be mobilized before they stop-loss you?

Also, if you do know the answer can you direct me to the right regulation that states this?

Years ago, I supported the invasion of Iraq -- to my mind, Saddam Hussein was a brutal dictator, guilty of mass murder, just like Hitler. But years on, the Iraq war had not played out like WWII. What am I missing in my thinking? I thought taking out Saddam would be like taking out Hitler. But I'm missing something... can you point me in the direction of some websites that have info on this topic? Thanks.

Just wondering. With having no recollection of it in the morning, and being around weapons and other people in a war zone. This might be a dangerous medical condition to send "down range." I am not in the military, (husband is) He doesn't sleepwalk, and is already deployed, but I just had that thought about sleepwalking and the hidden dangers while deployed!

I'm involved, unfortunately, in this situation. I've been told that if I sue him, he will be in danger of losing clearances.

Is that true or am I being tossed a line?

Thanks!

The older type that has his whole identity based on power/being macho/ego? They particuarly have a hard time working with a young woman being in charge. Having a meeting, going through procedures etc. are extremly difficult and frustrating because they feel that they have to show some sort of power by disputing, giving invaluable feedback and throw everything off only because they need to feel that they matter and have something better to say. A meeting that shouldn't take more than 45-mins has to be extended to 2 hours for no good reason. They are also problomatic when dealing with other male employees who do not come from the same "military-run" culture. I'm more concerned about how to deal with them as a woman? Do you give them the floor and make them feel "manly" and in charge so that they can feel sufficient? Do you put them in place and remind them that they are not running the show? Do you just strategically exclude them from meetings etc? HELP

We are stationed at Miramar in San Diego, but my husband will be at 29 Palms for Sgt's Course during the time of the Ball so they said we'd have to go to that one which we've heard is in Las Vegas. We have a 2 year old little girl and are trying to get all the arrangements prepared early so that we know we are good to go. Thanks! :) ~Amber

My mother in law has my husbands power of attorney right now. We are having twins and I was wondering if it should be transfered into my name. He is in the military and leaves about two months before I am due. there is also no guarantee that he will be able to come home and I was wondering about tricare because you need to be the power of attorney to enroll the kids and you only have a finite time to do it.

To be honest I just thought about this idea even though after reviewing my most current question and a few previous, some answerers indicated that a spouse must be authorized to accompany her husband to certain places such as Korea. First I'm a little shocked!. I thought that I was dealing with only the USA. Then I find out from my dad and yahoo experts (thanks all for taking your time to give me such great answers luv ya!!)that he could be sent to Alaska, Korea, Germany (I already knew about Germany from my own knowledge), and WHERE ELSE?). I am prepared for him to do his duty in the Middle East and really proud of him and will support him 100% when his tour there begins, but these other places. It doesn't seem fair that they would send him away from us to Korea or Alaska on an unaccompanied tour. I'm a little upset about this possibility. I was thinking of taking a break from asking questions but just want some answers about the concept of "Unaccompanied Tours".
