Military sorts:your units.

Depends.... Either we get a goverment who cuts down on the military, or we'll get some gung-ho leader who wants to go to every bloody hot spot in the world!

Our Sqn doesn't have a website as such, and there's no way you would want to look at the IOT site. (Initial Officer Training). It'd be enough to put you off for life....

One of my bests friends went here

those are soldiers equipped and trained for fighting in the mountains just like partisans. They are often considered as an elite-troop and you should be pretty physically fit to go there. I had only two problems. I am neither an aristocrat (good if you want to chose special units) nor did I have to go the army (I am the third son, I am not asked for service). I would have enjoyed it!  I in good condition up in the mountains, I have proven that many times in Switzerland:(

Well...Technically the Marines IS in fact a part of the Navy and not a completely separate branch allthough they shudder at the thought of having to associate themselves with a bunch of squids.  USMC officially goes under the Departement of the Navy.

Badgerboy,

Do you know of a good place online that shows or explains the rank structure of the Royal Air Force? I've mentioned before that we have a RAF officer stationed out here, and he's a LCDR. Is that an O4 like us (U.S. Navy).

I mostly ask because we have a gaggle of Brits over here for stormshadow and a few other things. It would be nice to know what I'm seeing.

Not exactly related, but we also have Italians out here. I'd like to find out their rank structure as well. Almost all of them have a large star on their collars. So unless I'm seeing a bunch of Generals or Admirals out there I imagine that must mean something. Thanks!

Right, the Marine Corps is the Men's Dept. The Navy consists of the Women and Children's Departments, and in the case of all those portly chiefs out there, the Maternity Dept. too.

ok, i'am going to let you in on a secret. Marines = Men's Dept. as controledburn said. But a better way to look at it.

the navy = Chauffers.

thats it. When was the last time you heard of the navy doing anything but driving a boat? pffft.

True, but when was the last time you heard of a Marine swimming from San Diego to the gulf?

And a Marine can't even put on a band-aid without the help of the Navy Corpsman!

All kidding aside I'm glad to see some devildogs posting on here. Both my "A" school and current duty station are joint Navy Marine commands, so I'm used to working with Marines.

I coudnt find any information on our "Frřmćnd" (Also Spec ops, a kind of marines), The Army and the media dont speak much about any of our Special forces, all i know is that they  both were in Afganistan in Operation Anaconda.

Is the dispensing of varying sizes of motrin pills only unique to the US forces? they did the same thing in the Air Force..."sore throat? motrin.." .."missing limb? BIGGER motrin"...

Seemed to be the cure-all solution for most medical problems...

Other countries militaries have their own flavor of cure-alls?

I made my 11 months long military service as a JA 37 Viggen aircraft/weapons mechanic at 1:st div. F4 Frösön, squadleader - no more, no less; I have been 'krigsplacerad' (given a specific war position), but have not been called to any 'rep övningar' (repetition exercises).

It's in swedish unfortunately but i guess you could sum it up to this:

In a the situation of war my job would be to chase down saboteurs and to confiscate Denoirs beer!

[Col. Kurtz 0]

Not likely!

If I remember correctly, Denoirs spot in the reserves is with Intelliegence, so if you try and confiscate anything, espicially his beloved cancer sticks(cigarettes), he'll know in adavance
