Life in the Navy - Frequently Asked Questions
Many of your questions about the Navy have been asked and answered before. See if you can find your question in the list below. Or, to get the most complete picture of the Navy, locate your nearest recruiter and set up a meeting.
(I) ________
It depends. Normally ships will go to sea for 10 days to 2 weeks each month for training operations. Extended operations away from home port can last up to 6 months, and ships deploy every 18-24 months. This varies depending on the mission and type of ship. Ships on 6-month deployments spend time visiting ports throughout the world. If you are on a shore duty tour, you will likely spend no time at sea during the course of the duty assignment {usually 2 to 3 years).
(II) _______
There are plenty of activities available to sailors in their off-duty time. Depending on the size of the ship, you'll have areas for exercise, watching movies, playing cards, emailing friends, and purchasing snacks and other items. Many ships also provide college classes.
(III) _______
The tempo of operations will dictate actual length. While in home port or on shore duty, it is very similar to that of civilian jobs. While out to sea, it is often longer because of the workload needed to keep the ship, aircraft and other machinery working properly and efficiently.
(IV) _______
Onder normal circumstances, you will be eligible for a promotion from E-l to E-2 in 9 months, from E-2 to E-3 in 9 months, and from E-3 to E-4 in 6 months. Advancements on the basis of merit can occur in basic training to E-2 without waiting the 9 months. By referring friends who join the Navy, you can be promoted even faster!
(V) _______
Once you have completed
basic training and any followup schooling, you will probably move just once to
your first permanent duty station. Naturally, if you stay in the Navy past your
first enlistment (or if you request a specific deployment) you may have to move
again.

Top Tips for Safe Travel

opposite. There are some desperate places and people, even in your home town,

home than travelling if you follow these common sense tips on your trips:
1) Scan ali your major documents. Scan your travei
documents and email them to yourself - that way your documents won't go missing
even if your bags do.
2) Get travei Insurance. This is mainly for health
costs if you get ill or injured while abroad. Hospital costs can quickly get
into the tens of thousands of dollars, even for a minor injury.
3) Get vaccinated. Visit your doctor before you
leave to get ali the relevant vaccinations/immunizations for the destinations
you're visiting, and to learn what health precautions you should follow

How to Become a USNA
Midshipman
Posted by: Jacqui Murray j December 8, 2010
I wrote this because there was a need for a book
like this. When my daughter wanted a step-by-step on how to get into the Naval
Academy, ali she could find were books that told her how hard it was, how
selective they were, how very few could achieve it. My daughter brushed the
negativity off, but I wondered how many kids were discouraged by that approach.
I decided to write a book (a) explaining how to
achieve the goal, not why kids couldnTt; (b) showing how teens can solve the
problems that stand in their way rather than why they can't, and (c) sharing
the many but predictable steps that will take a motivated, committed applicant
where they want to go rather than why they can't get there. That approach
worked for my daughter and I had no doubt it would work for others. From what I
hear from readers, it1s true. I hope you find it useful.

The Future of Libraries Has Little to Do with Books
On a Monday morning between Christmas and New
Year's Eve in Paris, the line for modern art museum Centre Georges Pompidou
winds around the block. But the patrons waiting in the cold aren't there to
catch a glimpse of a Magritte —they're young locais queueing for access through
the museum’s back door to another attraction: the public library.
In a digital age that has left book publishers
reeling, libraries in the world's major cities seem poised for a comeback,
though it1s one that has very little to do with books. The Independent Library
Report — published in December by the U.K.'s Department for Culture, Media, and
Sport — found that libraries across the nation are reinventing themseives by
increasingly becoming "vibrant and attractive community hubs",
focusing on the "need to create digital literacy, and in an ideal world,
digital fluency.”
Taking into account the proliferation of
freelancing, the gig economy, and remote working (also known as 'technomadism'),
the rise of library as community hub begins to make sense. Cities are
increasingly attracting location independent workers, and those workers need
space and amenities that expensive and unreliable coffee shops simply cannot
provide enough of.
Furthermore, when one considers that the most
vulnerable and underserved city dwellers are also those who generally do not
have access to the Internet, the need for a free and publicly connected space
becomes even clearer.
According to a 2013 Pew poli, 90 percent in the
U.S. said their community would be negatively impacted if their local library
closed. But if libraries are going to survive the digital age, they need to be
more about helping patrons filter vast quantities of digital Information rather
than access to analog materiais. Good news carne for U.S. libraries in
November, when Federal Communications Commission Chairman Tom Wheeler announced
a 62 percent increase in spending on high-speed Internet for schools and public
libraries.
When it comes to this need for connectivity,
Britainfs library report stated a "Wi-Fi connection should be delivered in
a comfortable, retail standard environment with the usual amenities of coffee,
sofas and etc." The report suggested that libraries focus less on loaning
physical books and more on widening access via loaning of e-books, which the
report noted was up by 80 percent in Britain from 2013.
Also in 2013, the first bookless public library in
the United States opened in San Antonio, Texas. The cityTs BiblioTech offers an
all-digital, cloud-based collection of more than 10,000 e-books, plus e-readers
available for checkout. Located in San Antonio’s underserved South Side, the
BiblioTech provides an important digital hub in a city with a population that
still struggles to connect to wireless Internet, Last month saw the opening of
Canada's Halifax Central Library, designed by a world-leading Danish design
firm. With its auditorium, meeting space for entrepreneurs, multiple cafes,
adult literacy classes and gaming facilities, actual books seemed like an
afterthought.
