    US Navy boot camp question?

    John obviously doesn't know what he's talking about, or he's bought into some of the oldest Urban Legends in the Military. The food is pretty bland - but filling. There WILL be hot sauce, but in Boot Camp the idea is speed, and if you have time to lolly-gag and add hot sauce you must have too...

    What are the best college degree to get to become an (infantry) army officer?

    You can use any, but the Army does tend to take technical/science degrees more than liberal arts. I had a Platoon Leader that had a BFA in music performance... he was a train wreck as a leader. I also had a Platoon Leader that had a BS is chemistry and was actually a chemical officer... he was...

    If a soldier in the Army was demoted to E1 they just made E2 how long do they have to...

    Well, with the way the regulations are written, with waivers they COULD be immediately promoted to E-3 and then to E-4... but it isn't going to happen. Since they just got an Article 15, they are on the sh!t list, and they will wait at LEAST the full amount of time to make PFC - a minimum of...

    Should I send a lot of letters to someone in the Coast Guard Boot Camp?

    It's a great idea!! I would warn you, however... when I was in Boot Camp, for the first two weeks, I had to do ten push-ups for every letter... Then it was ten for every CORNER on the letter... finally, it was ten for every corner and SIDE... I was glad I only got three or four letters per...

    how can I report my owner's unethical business conduct?

    The exploitation could be reported to the labor board. The rest could be reported to the clients that buy the product. HOWEVER - consider this... if you report them, they could get in major trouble and actually have to cut back or shut down. You MAY be reporting your way out of a job - and...

    WHEN is coast guard boot camp?

    A new class starts almost every week of the year. There's about 45 classes per year. You would ship out on a Tuesday, and spend that first week getting your uniforms, shots, and medical check-ups - as well as haircuts. Best bet is to Google for "Just 8 Weeks" and watch the video about Coast...

    i have extra duty for a art 15 an i was wondering if i have to go out to the field

    If your unit is going to the field - then you go to the field. Since you'll be working longer hours along with everyone else - you won't have to worry about the extra duty!

    military sniper question?

    When you are prepping a position, you will have ranges established for various things in your field of fire - 400 meters to that tree, 635 meters to the corner of that building, etcetera. You will also know the temperature and terrain, to judge the lift or drop of the round - and you can judge...

    Army recruiting station?

    The jobs are made available from Army HQ - not by the recruiters. The office that isn't doing as well may be more willing to meet with you - and even LIE to you - than the other one, because they HAVE to get the recruits. If they don't meet their quota, they can get fired and lose their...

    coast guard boot camp?

    Congratulations on enlisting in the oldest continuously commissioned maritime service (actually older than the US Navy!) Boot camp will be interesting. I recommend running so you can run a mile and a half without stopping or walking, and practice doing push-ups and sit-ups. Your recruiter can...
