Military - November 2007

It has been a while since a general died with his boots on, at least in the US Army. A long while.

I got married to an army man in July. He has been living in Germany and I have been here in Arkansas finishing up my college degree. He is PCSing in December and we are moving to Kansas. My parents are giving us a new car for our wedding gift next weekend. Do I need to register it in Kansas if we are in the army? I will need to register it here in Arkansas when I buy it and I dont want to pay for it again if I dont have to. But I really dont know the rules.

And also, will I (or my husband) need to go get a Kansas drivers license since he is in the army? He says he doesnt think he needs to, but what about me?

Thanks!!

Many thanks to all the responses to my previous posts. I have a followup question or two for engineers or helicopter buffs.
Would a small jet engine, mounted horizontally and suitably armored, in the tail provide enough thrust, be throttleable and be available to power up to full throttle in a matter of seconds to offset LTR. I've seen small jets offered by various companies for models that produce around 100 pounds of thrust and weigh only around 30-35 pounds. You could incorporate existing fuel lines from the main engine to run them and develop a system of control that is either determined by existing pedal inputs or a backup system of hand control or computerized input in conjunction with a gyroscopic mechanism as found on the wheeled single-person transport of the Segway and others. It appears that most LTR situations offer a measure of warning for a pilot to initiate the backup system. All responses welcome and thanks again.

In most countries this is the norm. I think we should implement it here too..

there was a report from the Joint Economic Commitee that said:

To provide some perspective on these figures, just the funds requested for the Iraq war through
2008 would have been sufficient to provide health insurance coverage to all of America’s uninsured
for the 2003-2008 period. (There were approximately 45 million uninsured Americans at
the start of the war in 2003 and this number rose to 47 million by 2006, which is the latest figure
available from the U.S. Census Bureau).

Hi, I'm a freshman at Stony Brook University, and in a way I feel like I've missed out on something great. I had not really begun to consider a military academy until senior year in highschool, which made it too late to apply to. Then near the end of senior year my family had dissauded me from going, making me miss another chance to write for a congressional appointment, and apply. Now I'm in my first year of college and its the beginning of December. I feel that if I apply this spring, by the time I am accepted and join the academy (if I am), I will have already wasted 2 years of college and will have to start over because all the academies require 4 years no matter what. I would be 20 by the time I get in. Is this a wise decision? I know that if I'm called to do it I should follow my instinct, but is there anyway that those 2 "wasted" years of college benefit me in an academy? will I feel out of place as a 20 year old freshman? I wish to apply to USMA. Any advice is great.

My husband's stationed at Fort Bragg and I'd like to take my daughter to live in Wisconsin while he's deployed to have help from family and friends while he's gone. Would our BAH remain the same as it is now, or does it change if we move up there?

I was just wondering how many soldiers or military families claim a home residency that is really not their own, simply so they don't have to pay state taxes.
I know a lot of military families (including my family) who claim the state of Texas, so we don't have to pay state taxes. We got tired of paying hundred of dollars into our home state and not get any refund... and we rarely go home.

Just wondering....

I read my Marine handbook, and it says during the Delayed Entry Program, I can refer 2 people to the Marines and I will be able to get promoted to private first class, which also means I can get paid what the first class rank gets paid. Does that really mean I can start getting paid before I go into recruit training?

In Washington, President Bush's adviser on the Iraqi war, Lt. Gen. Douglas Lute, confirmed the proposal, calling it "a set of principles from which to begin formal negotiations."

As part of the package, the Iraqis want an end to the current U.N.-mandated multinational forces mission, and also an end to all U.N.-ordered restrictions on Iraq's sovereignty.
