Military - October 2007

My husband is deployed and we're planning a cruise to Jamaica when he gets home. I have his P.O.A. but it doesn't say anything about applying for a passport on his behalf. I just want to apply for it and when he gets home, he can sign for it himself. The delima lies in the fact that his leave starts almost as soon as he gets home so we need to be on the ship right away and we won't have time to apply and wait for the passport when he gets here. We need it BEFORE he gets home. I was just wondering if there's anyway I can get him a passport, or is it still true that he can still travel with only his active duty military id. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance...

My Great Uncle died in World War II. My family is quite closed lip about it, due to some bitterness about the war and the loss of my Uncle. I am a huge history fan and would love to find out more information about my Uncle, what he did in the war, where he died, and if he is buried anywhere. Does anyone know of any websites or informational pages where I can find out more information about my Uncle.

From what I have found out he worked with the
533rd Engineer Boat and Shore Regiment
**I am really curious to find out what he did in the war

His name is Lester Lavern Zornes or Lavern Lester Zornes.
I am really not sure which as my family will not talk about him.

Any information websites or anything would be a lot of help!!

THANK YOU!!!!

Please help me...I got word that a friend of mine killed someone a couple of days ago in Afganistan while in battle. He currently does not served in the Army but works for the government with the military. His mother is a dear friend and mother to me. This fella is in his mid 20's and I can't imagine what he's going through. I am trying not to get to emotionally involved but it's so hard. How can I help his mother cope? All she wanted to do was bring him home. I know this is his job and all but he will never ever be the same. Right now...both him and his mother are doing everything to numb the pain.
Please any insight with me great on how to help my dear friends.

Corpsmen, pronounced Coremen, are navy people who are trained as battlefield medics. many of them are conscious objectors. under international law Corpsmen are not supposed to carry arms nor to engage in fighting the enemy. they wear a Red Cross in a white back ground on their helmet to identify them and supposedly to show that they are not Marines but rather angles of mercy for the wounded men. I have read them being insulted here on answers but I cannot recall any Marine in the 'Nam ever cursing them out or refusing to allow them to save their life. Of course now that we no longer obey international rules it is fair game to pop battlefield medics since they are armed and we do not obey the rules of land warfare so our enemy does not have to obey them either. I would much rather have a trained corpsman who was trained as a doctor come to save me then some semi Marine with a rifle who took Marine training to fight do so. When i need help I don't need another Marine to do it.

When Britain first, at heaven's command,
Arose from out the azure main,
Arose, arose, arose from out the a-azure main,
This was the charter, the charter of the land,
And guardian angels sang this strain:

Rule Britania!
Britannia rule the waves.
Britons never, never, never shall be slaves.

Rule Britannia!
Britannia rule the waves.
Britons never, never, never shall be slaves.

The nations, not so blest as thee,
Must in their turn, to tyrants fall,
Must in ,must in, must in their turn, to tyrants fall,
While thou shalt flourish, shalt flourish great and free,
The dread and envy of them all.
(Chorus)
Rule Britannia!
Britannia rule the waves.
Britons never, never, never shall be slaves.

Rule Britannia!
Britannia rule the waves.
Brittons never, n

Utah payday lenders began refusing Monday to make loans to members of the military rather than give them much lower rates mandated by a new federal law.
That new law, which took effect Monday, caps the annual interest on payday, car title or tax refund anticipation loans at 36 percent annually for members of the military and their families. A 2005 Deseret Morning News series found payday loans here averaged a whopping 521 percent interest, and car title loans averaged 300 percent.

For five years, Yale Law School has fought to restrict military recruiters from its job fairs because of the Pentagon’s policy that bars openly gay or bisexual people from the military. But with the federal government threatening to withhold $350 million in grants if the university does not assist the recruiters, that fight will all but end on Monday.

After an appeals court ruled in favor of the Defense Department on Sept. 17, the law school said it would allow recruiters from the Air Force and Navy to participate in a university-sponsored job interview program for law students on Monday afternoon. For now, the legal battle to stop the recruiters is over, said Robert A. Burt, a Yale law professor and the lead plaintiff in the case.

What have you war supporters personally sacrificed for this occupation, I mean war? Paying more to fill your gas tank doesn't count, we've all had to pay that price.

-A martyr was removed for killing hundreds of thousands of his own people through brutal and inhumane ways
-The American military and allies are killing more Al Qaeda along with insurgents over there.
-The military liberated a country of oppressed people.
-Iraq has a (infantile) democracy in place.

So...what's the problem?

Are you mad because you think this war is 'illegal?' It's not.
Are you mad because military men/women are dying fighting for your freedom as well as mine and the protection of future generations? (Side note -- the military men/women voluntarily sign up for this lifestyle)

So what's your problem with the war/occupation in Iraq?

Alrighty, they are moving to Fort Benning from OCONUS. They currently have 3 daughters who live with them full time, ages 6, 4, and 2. Her husband has 1 daughter age 4, and a son who is turning 7 who will be living with them 50/50 a year. She is also pregnant with a son due January, lol. Just curious to see if anyone knows anything about how many rooms she'd be entitled to since I can't find any definite literature on it.
