Now this is the kinda shit I have real respect for.

I tottaly agree with KingLou here, protecting innocents, defending your country and building up democracy are some of the best things you can do, you guys really got my respect.

I'm fifteen right now, and I must (not really 'must') choose a job, because of all the educations etc.
And I have really considered joining the Royal Netherlands Army (after studying)..

quote from a karma tag left for me::: ps no name was left....

get the hell outta hear with your coast guard rhetoric man. Ok you serve but NOW adays, the coast guard is just bloated up rent a cops on a boat

apparently he missed the few years of school when grammar is taught. here not hear. with grammar like that and only a line and a half attempting to bash a branch of service, sounds like someone is angry because we stopped some of his dope from getting here. now he has to sit in his mommy's basement scraping tar out of his bong for a buzz and begging is older brother for a ride to Wendy's for work. if your gonna try and say something at least back it up with some kind of details, not just "Whhhaaaa Whhhaaa your a poopie-head". if you want to have a mature discussion about the USCG feel free to send me a message. If you want to cry about it, go ahead with a message I'll be happy to respond to those also.

Starfleet - thanks again for this thread, now lets all try to stay on topic from now on.

What you want ,but don't even realize, is the US Marine Corps AAAV. Advanced Amphibious Assault Vehicle. Finishing final testing and design in 2006-2007, we have been told that it will start entering the fleet in 2007. It is replacing the AAV originally produced in 1976.

With a crew of three, a 30 mm bushwhacker cannon, with the most advanced targeting system for any armed vehicle, it will do over 25 knots in the water, weighing in over 72,000 pounds! Fully loaded with 18 combat ready Marines, and hitting any beach from "over the horizon". In water mode the hull is almost boat like, then coming up to shore, just like a transformer toy the tracks deploy and it hits the beach! Powered by an engine with over 2500 HP, she can reach speeds over 65 mph!

Comparison of Selected AAAV Requirements

Sound nice. One question. Are the Velocities measured in Land Miles per hour or Sea Miles per Hours (aka Knots)?

FYI, I think they coast guard should be taken off the poll. I wouldn't count them as military. They are more like law enforcement.

Alright. One of its important Rolls is Law Enforcement, but according to Wikipedia,
the USCG is a military branch and the smallest of the armed Services of the United States.
If you don't believe me, check it out: United States Coast Guard on Wikipedia
the USCG is no longer part of the department of defense. They now fall under the department of homeland security. So technically, they are no more military than U.S. Customs or INS or airport security

the coast guard IS under the department of homeland security BUT in times of war it IS under the department of defense
