Some of my friends are in the U.S. army Infantry and they were not on the frontline. So i am wondering which branch is on the frontline?|||Reagan and Jake are both wrong on here. I just love how idiots get the idea that the Marines are the "first to fight" and that they are the only ones that do an invasion.
A couple of the answer were partly correct when they are saying there is no real frontline. Right now, we are not fighting a conventional war. We are in the occupational stage of a war. There is no line. We have control of the whole place.
Now, when it comes to the conventional part of war and the invasion, that is where you have the "line". Both the Army and the Marines are used as an invasion force. The Marines didn't invade Iraq by themselves, nor did invade any other country during an act of war alone.
As for your friends that are in the infantry with the Army, they might not have been in during the invasion of Iraq. Or if they were serving during that time, they might have been assigned to a unit that didn't take part in the invasion.
So the answer to your question of who is on the "frontline", it would be the Army AND the Marines. Anyone that says that it is only Marines or only Army is WRONG.
EDIT: You got a point, Roken, on my "idiot" remark. Instead of calling those people idiots, I will just call their remarks idiotic. Whether they are idiots or not, the remarks they made and how the presented them was idiotic and anyone actually educated can tell that. As for your answer, that is a lot of good information about the Marines history and thier past numbers. But all that information basically had nothing to do with the actual answer to the question itself. You put all that out there, and all you could say in reference to the question was "As far as who goes first, DEPENDS!". When does it "depend" on who is on the front lines? Only time that can depend on is when asked about who is on the frontlines of specific battles. The Marines invaded specific areas at the same time that the Army was invading specific areas simultaneously during each of our wars. But I will say this. You did provide a lot of good information about the size of the Marine Corps in the past. That was something that I was wanting to know....lol|||Marines. They are the first to fight.|||Frontlines in the traditional sense don't really exist anymore. Especially in the Middle East. It's mostly patrolling, security, and raids.|||THERE ARE NO SUCH THING AS "FRONTLINES"
EVERYONE NEEDS TO BE READY TOO FIGHT
MARINES GO IN FIRST USUALLY SO FROM EXPERENCE ID SAY MARINES
OORAH
BUT IN THE MIDDLE EAST.. EVERYONE IS THE IN THE FRONT LINES, THE FRONT LINES NOW TURNS INTO A URBAN WARFARE COMBAT ZONE|||For the most part I agree with deftoneh except for the "idiot remark".
The first thing to remember is that the Marines are not an army, but a corps. By January 1944 the US Marine Corps had grown to a total of 405,169 personnel, comprising 28,193 officers, 10,723 officer candidates, and 366,353 enlisted men. The Fleet Marine Force now had two amphibious corps, four divisions, a separate infantry regiment, 19 defense battalions, and numerous support and service units.
Today's Marine Corps is 4 Active and 2 Inactive %26lt;reserve%26gt; divisions, plus Aircraft Wings and Logistics Groups.
Their first two mottos signified mobility, "Per Mare, Per Terram" "by sea, by land" and "To the Shores of Tripoli". "Semper fidelis" "Corps and Country" is the current motto! The mobility signifies the Navy and are so attached! Also, the Marines rely on speed of attack and hard hitting tactics. The Army has whenever possible, depended upon overwhelming firepower!
As far as who goes first, DEPENDS!

Do horizontal branch stars have a higher or lower temperature than main sequence stars and why?
Also, do horizontal branch stars have a higher or lower luminosity than main sequence stars and why?|||Horizontal branch stars have lower surface temperatures and therefore do not have the same spectral type they had as Main Sequence or hydrogen fusing stars. After exhausting all the hydrogen in the core and expanding into red giants, the core became hot and dense enough for helium fusion to commence. These stars are now fusing helium in their cores and hydrogen in a shell around the core, and because of this they are larger and much more luminous than a Main Sequence star of the same mass. Nuclear fusion generates energy are a much greater rate than before and that makes the star larger, and thus gives it much more surface area from which to radiate energy to space and puffs up the star's outer layers, driving down the surface temperature. A Sun like star that is on the horizontal branch phase of it's life will be a late G-type or early K type yellow star that would outshine the Sun 100 times over until the helium in the core is converted into carbon and oxygen and the star expands again into a red giant.|||A horizontal branch star will have the same temperature as a Main Sequence star of the same spectral class (i.e. a K star will have a surface temperature of around 6500F whether Main Sequence or horizontal branch). However, there will be a major difference in luminosity, given the difference in sizes, since horizontal branch are much larger (that's why it is often called the giant branch).
What branch of the military do Marines dislike the most?
It seems like every branch dislikes the Marines, or they talk bad about them at least. So, who do the Marines dislike/ trash talk the most and why?|||First off I have to clarify my belief as to why we're disliked...We're generally ornery put in tough situations i.e. short manned in a forward area, seeing as we're no where near as large in force as the army, we tend to train one Marine to cover duties that would utilize 2-3 soldiers or more. We Marines Just know we're the best, can't be bragging if it's a fact... Eleanor Roosevelt once said, "The Marines I have seen around the world have the cleanest bodies, the filthiest minds, the highest morale, and the lowest morals of any group of animals I have ever seen. Thank God for the United States Marine Corps!" Not to mention the jealousy over how good we look in our Blues... So, we got a chip on our shoulder, and we're proud to boast it. Others are caught up in a long history of competition, and as far back as doing the dirty work of being a marksman firing down on mutinous squids on old school frigates, to being hot spot warriors in Vietnam, and assuming the army's duties as base holders in Iraq due to shortage of troops, we flaunt our skill and lack of resources, and general ability to overcome obstacles others fail at. Personally I've known solid and honorable military members from all branches, and while we bust their chops there's an underlying respect for anyone in uniform, serving our proud nation. Personally I chastise the Air Force more, referring to them as the "Chair Force". They fly drones remotely from the U.S., bomb from miles above, and used to get hazard duty pay for bunking at 29 Palms Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center. Generally in the rear with the gear, call them REM, or POGs...but I gotta say chow on an Air Base has got to be the best across the board...my two cents.|||Im a Marine, and to put it simple, we feel that we train harder than everybody else, and the fact is that we do. We have the higest percent of our branch in direct combat roles and we should be respected for that aspect,
on the other hand the people the Marines respect the most are the Navy Corpsmen because they are our medics and fight just as hard as we do.
I hope this helped, Mike|||When I was in the Marines, we hated the Air Force but only because for the most part, they have it easy, have better quarters and better food.|||Based on their own re-enlistment numbers....there own.
DOD Average reenlistment rate: 71%
Army: 64%
Navy: 68%
Air Force: 81%
USMC: 34%
"But don't take my work for it."....*sigh*|||Civilians. The branches will work amongst each other. Civilians are the true hindrance to war and the objective of the military.|||what the heck? why would the marines hate the navy? you know what marine stands for, right? M-men A-always R-riding I-in N-navy E-equiptment. they should be thanking us, not hating us.|||Marines usually carry a grudge against the Navy but it's the Navy that gives them a ride to wherever they need to go.|||I like the Navy, they're good guys. I like all the branches. All the ribbing we give out is all in good fun. I don't dislike any other service member.|||Im army but last time I was in Iraq I was stationed at a marine COB. I had no problems with them but from the way they wrote in the port a johns, I think they hate about everyone.|||They hate everybody.|||I believe it's the Army because they are at the bottom of the food chain. But don't take my work for it.|||probably the navy because they are p ussies

How to hang a everlast heavy bag to a tree branch?
The tree branch i'm planning to hang it one is like 3 inches wide. Will the chains the come with the heavy bag be able to be hung on the tree branch?|||Simple Drill through the tree branch and put a threaded eye hook up through it and tighten down with washer and nut.
What branch of physics covers nano-science and nanotechnology?
I know nano-science is mostly a chemistry discipline (physical chemistry to be precise) with fermionic structures, but I just wanted to know: What branch of physics would mostly cover the topics of nano-science and nanotechnology? Condensed matter physics or quantum physics? I was thinking condensed matter with bosonic structures and all, but since quantum physics can cover many disciplines, I'm not even sure at all.|||"Nanoscience, the behavior of physical systems when confined to near atomic, nanoscale (%26lt; 100 nm) dimensions together with the physical phenomena that occur at the nanoscale, is currently one of the most dynamic and rapidly developing areas of interdisciplinary research in applied physics. This is in large part because nanotechnology, the use of these properties and phenomena, is believed to have the potential to revolutionize a wide range of scientific and technological fields.
Applied Physics faculty research groups have played central roles in establishing and advancing the state of the art of nanofabrication and applying the resultant tools and capabilities in a wide range of nanoscience and nanotechnology research efforts. Today, Cornell Applied Physics investigators continue to lead innovative world-class research efforts in a broad range of areas concerned with understanding, manipulating, and applying materials and phenomena at the nanoscale. Because nanoscale science and technology are at the cutting edge of so much of today鈥檚 applied physics research, there is considerable overlap between these activities and others discussed here.
Nanomagnetics, the study and use of nanoscaled magnetic materials, is another area of inquiry. The recent discovery that the electron-spin polarized current flowing to or from a thin-film ferromagnet can reversibly switch the magnetic orientation of another nearby nanomagnet by a "spin-transfer" process is opening up the prospect of a new means for ultra-high-density information storage. It also could lead to the development of new nanoscale components for high-frequency electronics. Research concerned with the injection and manipulation of electron spin in normal metal and semiconductor nanostructures could lead to the development of quantum computer elements as well as to a number of other "spintronics" applications.
As discussed below, the control and use of the optical properties of materials at the nanoscale is a key aspect of efforts by Applied Physics faculty to develop new devices and systems for future photonics and optical communication applications.
An essential aspect of the nanoscience and nanotechnology program is a broad array of research activities that seek to develop new tools and techniques for the characterization and study of materials at the nanoscale and for the fabrication and processing of nanoscale devices and systems. These enabling nanoscale sciences and technologies include, in addition to the development of innovative approaches for ultra-high-resolution nanolithography and materials processing, the development of powerful, new scanned probe instruments for the measurement of electronic and magnetic properties at the nanoscale. Nanocharacterization research includes the development and application of analytical scanning transmission electronic microscopy techniques for determining the electronic structure of interfaces of heterogeneous materials with atomic resolution."

What branch of the military can I join if I have eczema?
I really wanted to join the marines, but eczema after the 9th birthday is disqualifying, so what branch
can I join?|||My senior scout has eczema and he's been deployed 3 times. Granted Iraq definitely has it's harsh conditions but I gave him some prednazone and aquaphor it didn't slow him down at all.
Just don't tell anyone. Treat it to where it won't be noticeable when they examine you and once you're in, you're in. Don't tell anyone about it until you're in Basic Training. By that time, the Army needs to get it's moneys' worth out of you.|||I think for now you better treat your eczema first because after all there are a lot of natural remedies that you can choose from. Eczema is not disabling so why limit yourself? You might want to try these proven remedies for eczema such as taking grape seed which has resveratrol know to be a potent anti oxidant against eczema, essential oil medications to be applied topically two to three times a day intended to relieve the skin from eczema. Your diet also counts in your quest to fight eczema and be free naturally. Avoid foods that could stimulate allergens use oils such as olive oil instead of the tradional vegetable or palm oil.|||The medical enlistment standards are the EXACT SAME for EVERY branch. They are governed by the Department of Defense...not the individual branch. So a disqualifying condition in one is a disqualifying condition in all.|||redleg is right but there is such a thing as medical wavers. You can talk to your doctor about this and see what he can do.

What branch of service is best for a person who wants to become a Firefighter?
ok im 17 and i know i can join now but i was wondering what branch would take me further into my dream job of becoming a firefighter but i dont want to just be any norm. firefighter i want to be a fire chief.|||Perhaps I am biased because I was in the Navy, but the Navy has a fire department on every base and on every ship, so there are many opportunities for such a career. Furthermore, learning to fight fires while underway onboard a ship is a unique type of training for fighting fires in enclosed quarters that you won't find anywhere else.
If you want to be a civilian fire chief, I would also plan on finishing a degree or getting some training in hazardous materials disposal, as many fire departments are being called on to handle this role.|||Air Force has their own firefighters. So perhaps the AF?|||probably the Marines.|||The Navy has the best. They are all good but the Navy is really the best.
