What military branch is the easiest to get into?
Q. What military branch is the easiest to get into? Can a person who has some problems with urinating get into any of them? How hard is it to get a waiver? To be more specific, the problem urinating is: having trouble starting a stream sometimes. Sometimes it's extremely easy to start a stream, and other times, it's pretty hard and time consuming. Also, does the military give everyone some time off for themselves during the day (in boot camp and in service)? Because if they do, then that might be a good time to spend trying to use the restroom.

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 - Tue Sep 8 23:41:39 2009 - Military - 2 Answers - 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.

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 - Higher Education (University +) - 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.

A. It is easy to support our troops but not the government. That is a right you have by being a American. Our troops do not make doctrine they follow orders. The government can make terrible decisions and then tell the military to go do something totally wrong. The troops do what the government ask of them no question. Always support your troops, they are the youth of our nation. You never HAVE to support the government but always support the troops.

What is the ration for civilians vs military (all military,not just army)?

Asked by josh.isaiah - Sun Aug 20 19:55:15 2006 - Military - 8 Answers - 11 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.]

Why is the military spraying barium and aluminum particles in the atmosphere over populated areas?
Q. I've heard a couple of explanations. To combat global warming, the particles reflect UV rays from the sun. The military is experimenting with ways to make the atmosphere more conductive for the HARPE weapon. The military is experimenting with radar jamming techniques. Other reasons I've heard are a bit extreme and involve to much speculation. If anyone has any insight on this or knows of any activists groups out there trying to put a stop to these experiments/practices please respond. Thank you.

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.]

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.
