Can Americans join MI5?
Well im Mexican American (Born in United States) and my girlfriend and I have a dream to live in London. We both want to be F.B.I but we can't do that in London. So i was wondering can we both join MI5?
How does a young American get knighted without doing anything?
Norman Schwarzkopf was given an honourary knighthood after Desert Storm. He was asked by a British journalist whether he would ever use it, and replied rather dryly that everyone he knew already called him "Sir". Until recently you could have given the Parliamentary Labour Party £1,000,000 and they would have had you knighted that afternoon (Bosh, Bosh, Bosh. Job's a Good'un. Nice doing business with you, Squire), but they were caught with their trousers round their ankles by the press, and can't get away with that any more. Even if you did get her number, Her Majesty doesn't answer the phone; she has people to do that sort of thing for her. Unfortunately, even if you own the complete DVD Special Edition Box Sets (Director's Cut) of "Fawlty Towers", "Absolutely Fabulous", "Monty Python", "The Goons", "Peter Cooke and Dudley Moore Live", and "Beyond the Fringe", it doesn't cut any ice with the Awards Board. I would suggest you marry a British woman for her passport, (especially if you like your women distant, expressionless, and emotionally with-holding until they've had a glass of white wine when their knickers fly off) and start up a factory employing a couple of hundred British Citizens (no longer Subjects), preferably somewhere poor and under-developed. I'd suggest Newcastle Upon Tyne, but even British People can't understand their dialect.
How can I, an American-born male, go to Britan to join the 22 SAS?
In order to become a member of the SAS you have to be a member of Her Majesty’s armed forces, an SAS Reservist or a member of an accepted British Commonwealth armed forces. When you have met this first criterium please submit another post and I will advise the next step.
In Her Majesty's Commonwealth nations, do you call computer cookies biscuits?
First, a lesson in International Affairs. It’s called The Commonwealth. Not ‘The British Commonwealth’ and certainly not ‘Her Majesty’s Commonwealth’. Elizabeth II is the titular head of the Commonwealth and she takes the role very seriously but it’s not an imperial role. Two states, Rwanda and Mozambique, were never under British rule and they joined voluntarily because there were advantages to them in doing so. It’s not a military or a trade bloc. The biggest player in it isn’t Britain, or even Canada or Australia, it’s India.Yes, the computer files are called ‘cookies’. They are called cookies in French, German, Italian, Russian, Polish and most other Indo-European languages, although some minority languages have devised alternatives. In Kiswahili, the lingua franca of a number of central African countries several of which are members of the Commonweath, it is ‘kuki’. Finnish (where it’s ‘eväste’), Magyar, Turkish and other non-Indo-European languages go their own way. (I’m not a polyglot by the way, I looked it up on Wikipedia and checked the other language versions).In Britain the hard flat baked good, whether or not sandwiched with some kind of sugar mixture, is a biscuit. In Canada, a Commonwealth country, it is a ‘cookie’. British English has, as it often does, taken the American English word and adapted it to its own purposes, so in Britain a cookie is a soft, flat, chewy baked good more like a cake than a biscuit. Englishes vary widely across the Commonwealth and I am sure there are many local names for these things.
When did the British and Americans become friends?
One event contributed to the friendship of the USA and the UK: the transatlantic cable in 1858. It was the first time that telegraph message has been emitted through the Atlantic ocean, and was a major engineering success, and an important commercial tool.Sending the Queen’s message was begun on 16th August but not completed until the 17th August 1858. It read…“The Queen desires to congratulate the President upon the successful completion of this great international work, in which the Queen has taken the greatest interest. The Queen is convinced the President will join with her in fervently hoping that the electric cable which now connects Great Britain with the United States will prove an additional link between the two nations, whose friendship is founded upon their common interest and reciprocal esteem. The Queen has much pleasure in thus directly communicating with the President, and in renewing to him her best wishes for the prosperity of the United States .”On 19th august 1858, the President’s response was transmitted from Newfoundland. It read . . .“To Her Majesty, Victoria, Queen of Great Britain . The President cordially reciprocates the congratulations of Her Majesty, the Queen, on the success of this great international enterprise, accomplished by the science, skill, and indomitable energy of the two countries. It is a triumph more glorious, because far more useful to mankind, than ever won by conqueror on the field of battle. May the Atlantic Telegraph, under the blessing of Heaven, prove to be a bond of perpetual peace and friendship between the kindred nations, and an instrument designed by Divine Providence to diffuse religion, civilization, liberty, and law throughout the world. In this view will not all the nations of Christendom spontaneously unite in the declaration, that it shall be forever neutral, and that its communications shall be held sacred in passing to the place of their destination, even in the midst of hostilities?”
How do you join the Special Air Service (SAS)?
You join her majesty's armed forces, army, royal navy or air force. You serve for an unspecified amount of time after which you can apply to join, and if accepted be allowed to go on SAS selection.Apparently most special forces members come from the Royal Marines, which is actually part of the navy, or one of the paratrooper regiments. However soldiers from any part of armed forces can apply.What you don't do is turn up at an armed forces careers office and say you want to join special forces. You will look silly. The careers adviser may privately joke that you have special needs. If you actually do want to join the SAS then keep your expectations realistic. You would be best joining the royal Marines or an army infantry unit as this is where the SAS are mostly recruited from. The royal Marines especially produces a large proportion of the SAS' recruits.
Can I join the Canadian Army as a PR or other non-citizen?
Chapter 6.01 of the Queen’s Regulations and Orders for the Canadian Forces states;(1) In order to be eligible for enrolment in the Canadian Forces as an officer or non-commissioned member, a person must:be a Canadian citizen, except that the Chief of the Defence Staff or such officer as he may designate may authorize the enrolment of a citizen of another country if he is satisfied that a special need exists and that the national interest would not be prejudiced thereby;I wouldn’t say that there is a special need for non-citizen members of the CF as mentioned above, so my answer would be no. You must be a Canadian Citizen to join.The Canadian Forces is a great career path, and if it is something you are interested in I suggest you persue Canadian citizenship first.
Can i join the US Army with bad allergies to pollen?
You do not have an allergy. Keep telling yourself that until you believe it, because you don't. If you tell them that at MEPS, they'll either roll their eyes and keep going, or they'll DQ you. They'll tell you it's because you have an "allergy," but it's really because you're an idiot for telling them. They only want to know about life threatening allergies. Tell them anything else and you'll become "one of those" that they laugh about amongst themselves. EDIT: No, they're not taking "anyone" right now. They've actually tightened up the standards a great deal. The minimum ASVAB score has gone from a 31 to a 50. The maximum age has gone from 42 to 35. And a felony, two misdemeanors, or a misdemeanor and 7 traffic tickets, is an automatic DQ. They're also writing very few waivers. They have to really want you, for an MOS that's hard to fill, extremely high ASVAB scores, etc. Prior Service recruits who got in with a moral waiver cannot re-enlist. And PS recruits who got in with a medical waiver have to go before the medical board and fight for their case. With the job market the way it is right now, more people are looking at the military as an option, especially college grads who haven't been able to find an entry-level job. So the Army gets to be picky, and they're taking advantage of it.
What is MI5 or MI6? What does it mean?
MI5 is the British version of the FBI. MI6 is their version of the CIA. Or the other way around, both were in existence before their respective USA agencies were.
