Q. I'm 17 and a junior in high school, is there anything i can join at this age in the military?
Asked by josh.isaiah - Sun Aug 20 19:55:15 2006 - - 8 Answers - 9 Comments

A. First of all, this is assuming you're talking about the US military. If you meant any other country, then you should refer to their military websites and/or recruiters. To be fairly honest, first of all, make sure this is absolutely what you want to do. Joining the military is a life changing commitment, and if you don't go in for the right reasons, you're going to regret it. If you truly do want to sign up, visit a recruiting station, and talk to them. Most likely they'll have you take an ASVAB test (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery), which is kind of like an SAT or ACT test, and gives the military an idea of your capabilities. Generally, the higher you score, the better, and it'll give them an idea of what kind of job you can… [cont.]

How do military discounts on flights work?

How do graduate programs at military colleges work?
Q. I'm looking for a graduate program in military history, and all the best ones seem to be at military institutions (obviously). If attend a military college for a graduate program, do I have to join the military, or can I just go for the degree? I must also specify that I would prefer to not do an online program or degree
Asked by Frost - Mon May 4 22:53:51 2009 - - 2 Answers - 1 Comments

A. The military has graduate schools as well like the Naval Postgraduate School. These institutions are not available for general enrollment. You must either be in the military and be assigned there as a student, some US government civilians can apply as well depending on the program, or you have to be a foreign military officer/government worker and apply through the US s foreign military assistance. I am at NPS now in an engineering program. It is second rate and the people I know in the international relations program it is called national security studies are also going through a second rate program. Private college graduate programs in the US are far superior.

How has being in the military changed you?
Q. Military Commercials always advertise that they'll change you into great leaders when you come home and you're out of the military. I just wanted to know from personal experiences if anyone could give me an example in how being in the military made you a better person/leader. I respect all military people for fighting for my freedom, thanks.

How do military wives deal with their husbands being away so much?
Q. My husband has his own business and he is always busy at work. He has been working extra hard these days because of the recession. We always get in fights before he's so busy all the time, then I wonder: how do military wives deal with it? Their husbands are away for months at a time, and overseas. Please tell me (especially if you are a military wife.) I would really appreciate it it. Thanks.

A. You realize it will happen. You have to stay busy. Work, go to school, volunteer your time, start a new hobby etc. Each person learns to cope in their own way but the military offers lots of support groups.

Asked by Die Uebermensch - Thu Aug 20 23:46:14 2009 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments

A. What benefits will prior military service give you in the civilian world is a very broad question. First of all, are you in college now or thinking of going to college, or do you have you bachelors? Educational wise you will be eligible for the GI Bill. The current bill the service member pays an initial $1200 or so and than in return receives $40,000 in return for college. You can also opt for an additional kicker around $600 or so and receive a larger sum of education assistance and it extends your time to use the funds. However this GI Bill hasn't been updated since 1944 and thankfully the government has realized this.There is a new GI bill in the works still pending approval, but it will give all prior service members about $80,000 to… [cont.]

Military wives: How long after the wedding did you get pregnant?
Q. I just married into the Navy last month, and his friends are joking and betting on when I'll be pregnant. Yikes!

A. I was in the military when I had my first two children, and now I am a military spouse and have just had my third. DO NOT rush into having children especially if your husband is in the military and could be deployed. Make sure you are OK with his work schedule and with him possibly being gone for long periods of time (at which time you become a single parent). I truly believe that too many women get pregnant too soon and then they become overwhelmed and can not handle what the military has to offer. Yes we have medical and a guaranteed paycheck and free housing if you choose it, but we don't always have a spouse. If you don't have personal experience with the military (ie you are prior military or maybe a parent was) don't rush it!!! It… [cont.]

A. I believe that tactics are more specific, whereas strategy is the overall plan. Strategy consists of tactics. In the case of nuclear weapons, tactical nuclear weapons are for use against military targets. Strategic nuclear weapons are for countervalue targets (usually cities).

What defines a military target from a civilian target in the following example?
Q. If a group of 100 people are considered either military enemies or hostile civilians, how many of them have to be armed (by estimation) in order for the group to be considered a legitimate military target?
Asked by aeiou_i - Sun Mar 14 07:56:45 2010 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. "Legitimate" is not the right way to approach this situation. "Law" is not the framework for which we operate in this context. Hell, if 100 out of 100 have weapons on them and are clearly hostile...we still might not engage them if we think it will set our war-fighting effort back. Bad guys have families too, and when we kill an enemy, we are killing someone's son, someone's brother, etc. Their family turns against us, even if the killing was totally 'legitimate.' The two doctrinal words that are appropriate are "proportionality" and "distinction." "Distinction" basically means that we will strictly scrutinize our targets from things we do not want to destroy. Let's use your example: if only 1 of that 100 people is an 'enemy',… [cont.]

A. The info you have heard is correct. You will not just become a criminal investigator in the military. Just like the civilian world, you have to work your way up. I have worked with many NCIS, CID, and other agents. It is a good field if that is your interest. The navy/marines have NCIS and the Army has CID. My advice is to join the Military Police branch. That way you get the feel of both police and investigating. You could always look into Intelligence field too. The military police handle things just a little different than the civilian but they are very much alike.

What is the consequence for a military spouse lying on a military sworn statement?
Q. If a female spouse lies on a military sworn statement about her husband assaulting her, what are the consequences? Can the military punish her? what happens?
Asked by Duke - Tue Sep 8 23:41:39 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The military can't legally punish her because she is a civilian and a civilian is not subject to UCMJ. They can kick her off post and bar her from returning, though. However, it is still a crime to lie on an official statement, especially in order to get someone in trouble. If she is caught she could possibly face criminal charges in a civilian court.

A. They each have different mission statements. Marine recon is just that; recon. They generally go out, scout, infiltrate and report back and directly fire. Seals are usually a quick reaction force. They land, rescue/recover and exit. Green Berets (SF) are longer term forces. Dropped behind lines, work with underground fighters, sabotage, etc. may be gone months. Like working with the Northern Alliance in Afghanistan early in the war. Ranger are basically elite army forces.
