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.

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.

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.

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.

There are certain programs that will allow you to go 2x8 but it's difficult to take your military experience seriously with only two years in. That's not even long enough to get your GI Bill benefits.
If you want to do Private Security, I would recommend going Military Police. The training you'll get at the MP School will prepare you for similar "Security" jobs in PMC's after you get out.
Good luck.|||IF U MEAN CONTRACT? THE ARMY HAS A 2 YEAR CONTRACT. I WOULD THINK THATS THE SHORTEST

Where do i have a higher possibility to actually go up in rank, and have a high chance of getting a federal or state law enforcement job after my service?|||If you are looking at having the job guaranteed before enlisting, Army. The Army is the only branch that will guarantee Military Police training prior to shipping to training. If you are looking at using military training for federal, state or local law enforcement jobs after your time in the military you may not want to lock yourself into 31B. There are many jobs that provide a better background for civilian law enforcement (11 series, 74D, MI, ETC) than M,P,|||Army or the Marines, both branches have their advantages. 1st their schools are in the same place, so the training is similar but with the Army, MP school and boot camp are together. Marines go through boot camp then MCT, then they go to the school (which means more training). The Army is bigger so there is more room for advancement. They both get deployed and they both get gate duty so it's really up to you.|||The Army being the largest branch and still growing we are the best for promotions and bonuses. We also have the most bases and thus you have more chance for mobility. I don't know which branch would give you the best leg up with other agencies in law enforcement.|||Definitely Army.
Just being in the service will give you that 1up on other people applying for the same job and the MP training will help as well.

If you want to anyway, I'd say Air Force or Navy since we're currently at war and if you join the Marines or Army then it is likely you won't return to have your chance at law enforcement. There is also always the Coast Guard and National Guard, but often for them to have the same "weight" in an application you need more years of service. If you want to get into law enforcement right away find a local agency that needs people, sheriff's departments are generally good starting points.

Electronics Technican (ET) and IT deal with the radios the school is longer though i believe around 1 year 6 months long but you come out as an E4 ( Rank in the navy) and you get paid pretty decnet money plus like a 25000 bonus you have to be in for 6 years though be smart. its also probably the safest branch.|||That's definately navy. The army also has their MOS based in communications, however the Army does not guarentee an MOS at the time you enlist. The Navy on the other hand will offer you a selection of rates (our version of the mos) if IT or ET is on your list you choose it, sign your contract, and are guarenteed to go to your schooling straight after bootcamp. There is no funny business like "do this job for two years andy then we will see." Also the navy is the only branch where your advancement is solely up to you. We take tests based on our occupation and if you score high enough you advance. Recruiters from other branches will try to sell you on how great their advancement is but after advancing from E-1 to E-6 in 6 years I speak from experience. I would reccomend you talk with your local navy recruiter soon if you are even remotely interested in joining any branch because the process can be overwhelming and no matter which branch you choose, they will most likely help you and give you the real deal.|||every branch has it's different stuff, you should really look somewhere other than yahoo answers to find which branch is right for your career path. i would go marine or air force. marines are some of the most respectable people out there, the training is intense and the amount of discipline required to be a marine is amazing. you get so physically and mentally fit, just wow. air force is more on the easy side, laid back, less organization, they take good care of the dependants and tend to get more leeway. their bases are also nicer. you could wear a ponytail in the airforce but if one little hair is sticking out of your bun in the marines, lol. I come from a navy family, and so far everything has worked out great. no matter where you go if you work hard you'll succed. but most importantly, GO TO COLLAGE! if you sign on in the military for x amount of years sometimes they will give you a full ride to collage and you get paid for it! they do more than just college too, training courses, seminars, medical schools, whatever. you get so much more money and because so much more litterate. please, for society. anywayz about which branch, you need to look into which one is right for your career path. good luck!|||13f

Which is the best branch to serve when joining the military?
I am a year 12 student in Australia. I have a question asking which branch i would prefer to serve if i were to join the military and why.
First i don't even know how many branches there are, so can someone tell me what they are and the good and bad points of each or explain the differences to assist in making my decision. Also, what tasks are the most difficult and dangerous?
I have tried google but i didn't find anything helpful.|||People who don't know anything about Australia should pipe down - Australia does not have a 'Coast Guard", save for a completely civilian volunteer organization that sails around on bright yellow motorboats.
The three branches are:
- Australian Army - the land force of the ADF. Recruit training here is physically tougher than the other branches, and plenty of work and training is done outside your posting.
- Royal Australian Navy - consider if if you're interested in a life out at sea. Long hours, shifts and a lot of technical jobs available. Good opportunity to visit foreign ports.
- Royal Australian Air Force - a bit like the Army in some respects, but most of your work is done within the limits of your airbase.
Each branch has dozens of specific jobs and specializations, some of them overlapping with jobs from other branches.
My advice - do not look for the ideal branch of the Australian Defence Force to join - look a particular job that interests you from across the three branches. There is no point in picking a service if you're just going to get enlisted into a job you don't like.
What tickles your fancy? Policing - check out the RAAF SECPOLs. Apprenticeships - check out the RAAF and the Army. Infantry work - all three branches have it in some form or another, with varying levels of toughness. Flying - all three branches require pilots, but for different types of aircraft.|||This was very helpful to me also. Thanks!
|||Australia does not have a coast guard we have customs. The brancheswe have are the Royal Australian Navy, Royal Australian Army and
Royal Australian Air Force. Whichever one you choose to join depends on you personally, If you want to actually go overseas and fight you should join the army, you will most likely only go overseas after a couple of years of service, you should have a great time, plus they have great mateship and camaraderie, my bro joined the army and it only made him a better person. You also actually get to help the people of the countries you visit.|||regerugged - We are Australian. We don't have a Coast Guard. Just cos you are a Yank doesn't mean everyone on here is, or that they want to know about the Yankie DoD.
dibdibbler - What?
In Australia, we have the RAAF (Royal Australian Air Force), RAN (Royal Australian Navy), and Army, who probably have Royal attached to their name somewhere too :)
Have a look at defence.gov.au, or defencejobs.gov.au You can click on a service and explore some of the jobs in it. If you are still stuck, or are having trouble with the website, give the recruiters a call on 13 19 01. There are downloadable pdf files on the different types of jobs online, and they can post them out to you too.
Best of luck!|||You ask a lot of questions so id say go for Intelligence, its the most interesting part of the army, there are several different disciplines like PsyOps, Imaging, Languages, Field Security etc.
Its all about gathering information on the enemy and presenting it to commanders in the field to make decisions.
You need good english and maths though.|||Try the Coast Guard. You get to ride around in ships or boats. You won't be called to go to war in a foreign country. Most Coast Guard duty stations are located near major population centers. They have the best looking uniforms.

What branch of military should I choose and what job to be stationed where I want?
I am debating between Air Force or Army right now. I am not interested in combat but rather I am interested in a position that would have me stationed in a military base in some exotic place of the world (islands, Europe, Russia, Japan (so on and so forth). What branch of the military should I choose for that? And what jobs would more likely land me in a base somewhere exotic like that?
Thanks!
-David.|||You would need to choose a generic job that each base would need in order to be able to travel to lots of different places like you are interested in. You can try a medical or security forces (police) job. Its pretty easy to get oversea's if thats what you are hoping for. A few friends out of tech school got Ramstein Germany|||You can't. There is no initial entry job that would ensure you are assigned to Europe. There isn't any initial entry jobs that would get you to Russia (specifically) either. You could join as a linguist, hope for Russian and then after proving yourself request further linguist training and assignment to DTRA. But even that would likely get you stationed in the DC area with frequent trips to Russia. There simply aren't any jobs that get you to a particular area.|||i would say the Navy would be your best bet if you want to travel. Which it sounds like that's one of the reason your joining. Job wise i don't really know that many AF %26amp; ARMY jobs that can allow to see combat and also be in a tropical place. I do however know a Navy job that allow to do that!
Its call Navy Corpsman or also known as "Doc"
As a corpsman you have two options you can either go green-side which means you go into a marine unit as there field medic where you can see "combat". You can also go Blue side which means your gonna be in a hospital on Base checking IV's and diagnosing people.Now where that base it at is up to you because based on your scores when you get out of A-school(Tech School for the AF) that will determine were you you will be stationed. The Better the score the higher the chance you get to pick were your first duty station is gonna be.|||The Air Force is the most family oriented of all the branches, and there's less chance of seeing combat. There's a base on Okinawa, Japan %26amp; is fun for the first two months, but there are many many restrictions (curfew and driving privileges just to name a couple). But it is exotic, the beaches are absolutely beautiful -- too bad it's only about 60 miles long, it doesn't take long to get old. If you're lucky enough to get stationed in mainland Japan, not so exotic but it's more westernized. If you do Army, I hear great things about Germany. Russia poses problems with danger, security, etc. but other than that, I hear good things.|||While most of the time you do not really have a choice, I have a friend who worked AF Media Affairs and most of his duty stations were overseas. If that sort of job interests you. But in order to get this job you want them to guarentee it but your scores need to be high and it is a very small career field.|||Branch? Civilian

Which branch of government protests the rights of individuals the most?
I'm looking for some opinions, which branch do you think succeeds the most in protecting our best interest?|||used to be the justice dept, but since we've had the great one we have lost that also. so now it's none of them.|||The history of the United States (1865鈥?918) covers Reconstruction, the Gilded Age, and the Progressive Era, and includes the rise of industrialization and the resulting surge of immigration in the United States. This period of rapid economic growth and soaring prosperity in North and West (but not the South) saw the U.S. become the world's dominant economic, industrial and agricultural power, although it exercised less international influence than Britain. The average annual income (after inflation) of nonfarm workers grew by 75% from 1865 to 1900, then grew another 33% by 1918.[1]
With a decisive victory in 1865 over Southern secessionists in the Civil War, the United States became a united and powerful nation, with a more powerful national government. Reconstruction brought the end of slavery and citizenship for the ex-slaves, but their political power was later rolled back and they became second class citizens under a "Jim Crow" system of segregation. Politically the nation in the Third Party System and Fourth Party System was mostly dominated by Republicans (except for two Democratic presidents). After 1900 the Progressive Era brought political and social reforms and the modernization of many areas of government and society, such as new roles for education and a higher status for women.
In an unprecedented wave of European immigration, 27.5 million new arrivals between 1865 and 1918[2] provided the labor base for the expansion of industry and agriculture and provided the population base for most of fast-growing urban America.
By the late nineteenth century, the United States had become a leading global industrial power, building on new technologies (such as the telegraph and steel), an expanding railroad network, and abundant natural resources such as coal, timber, oil and farmland, to usher in the Second Industrial Revolution.
There were two important wars. The US easily defeated Spain in 1898, which unexpectedly brought a small empire, of which Puerto Rico and (and some smaller islands) became permanent possessions (as did Alaska, added by purchase in 1867, and Hawaii, which was annexed by the U.S. in 1898).
The United States late (1917) entry in World War I on the side of the Allied Powers led to a decisive Allied victory thanks to American financial, agricultural, industrial and military strength.|||The armed citizens IE the militia that is talked about in the second amendment.
