J. FARLEY 21 days ago 8 for 10, The world should thank God for the United States Military, they have protected people around the world! Allen H 21 days ago Still can’t see results! Screen and page goes blurry ROBERT 21 days ago My first impulse on #10 was correct, but I over thought it, thinking “oh, but those aren’t our coasts” so I went with USN. Then I remembered tying up alongside USCG Cutters over in the Viet Nam area, proving that they’re not limited to US coastal waters, but too late to claim 10 of 10. So I can agree with BFZ’s comment, above. john 21 days ago getting blurry after I finish the questions Patty L 21 days ago 7/10…. Not bad for me…. God bless all the branches of the service including our soon to be Commander in Chief! Rich D 21 days ago 9/10 Dan 20 days ago 7 right. Didn’t know the Pres signed all commissions. Also, when the Space Force started and when the Marine Corps started. Melinda 20 days ago 7/10, don’t know much about the military, except that they are necessary to preserve our freedoms (and they need to be unwoke!). Any question with dates alway stymies me, not good with that. But I got all the Coast Guard questions right! KateL 21 days ago I got the booby prize on this one. 4/10. Judith Dunn 21 days ago I tried using a different email address but my results are still all messed up but I know 10/10 without their help! Raymond Summers 21 days ago 10/10 John Bass 21 days ago 10/10 Mike L 19 days ago Guessing US Marines started the same time as US Navy, on October 13, 1775, by order of the Second Continental Congress. Coming up on 250 years of Freedom Service for America and the world. Robert Wippermann 20 days ago 7/10 and no Navy questions, I served 73-79 on a Guided Missile Destroyer the USS Dewey DDG 45, not the new USS Dewey. Sam 20 days ago 9/10. Not too bad for an old ‘squid’. jimmy 20 days ago 10 out of 10 Angela 21 days ago Lucky guess on the President signing the Commissions. Elaine 21 days ago 8 out of 10. Happy with that. Sallo 21 days ago Wow, 3 for U S Coast Guard. Semper Paratus, Davy Rose! Lana 21 days ago 7 of 10. should have been 8 of 10. stupid mistake Broccoli Free Zone 21 days ago It was reaffirmed to me, something I learned in college. READ THE WHOLE QUESTION, CONSIDER ALL THE ANSWERS. I’d have gotten all correct today, and would have gotten #7 done in 45 seconds instead of 30 mins on that Ordinary Diffy ‘q’s test in 1978. Oh well, 8/10 really doesn’t matter, and I got that easy “A”. Fredrick 21 days ago 9/10 forgot the date the marines were founded. wpDiscuz360Would love your thoughts, please comment.x()x| ReplyInsert Login Login Join Renew Member Benefits Newsline Member Benefits Advocacy Our Actions About Advocacy Issues Get Involved Weekly Update Annual Report Find Your Representative AMAC App Better for America Podcast Book Club AMAC Blog FAQ About Us Overview Our Team Our Stance on Key Issues Magazine Medicare Games Voice Your Opinion in AMAC Polls AMAC in the Media AMAC Action AMAC Foundation Social Security Guarantee Prime Directives Brief Prime Directives Details Sweepstakes Contact Advertise with AMAC Terms & Conditions Privacy Policy
