What Rank Coud A Dog Raech In The Army

Is becoming a colonel easier in the Indian army?

Ask a small kid to spell colonel and he would most probably spell it as 'kernel' because for him a word will have the spelling according to its sound...but later on in his life he realizes that all that he sees and hears is not so straightforward... There is a twist...a twist which makes things very difficult...a similar twist makes it not so easy to become a colonel..because you have to take exams to reach major and then Lt. Col...the part B and part D exam respectively and the success rate is approximately 25% in that...once you do clear these exams...and become a lt.col after that your ACR's of past 5 Yrs are considered.... if your are outstanding or excellent.. You make the cut to become a Colonel...if you are above average oraverage you might or you might not become a Col... but let me tell you..in the steep pyramidal hierarchy of army ranks there is a cutthroat competition and it increases with the higher ranks..so itsquite difficult to reach the post of colonel.. At least in first board

Dogs in the army have to be a rank higher than their handler. So if a 5-star General, who has a dog inlisted in the army, what would the dogs rank be?

I'm really flabbergasted…I just can't comprehend this question. It's ridiculousness has expounded in bounds and leaps. I'm sure a team of physicists are at this very moment trying to contain the ridiculousness of this question from gaining critical mass and showering the internet with inanities so vast they crash the logic sensors of most networks (I know, I know such a thing does not exist).I'll do my best to fight the ridiculousness.The are currently no 5-Star Generals in the US Armed Forces. There haven't been in many many years, like way over 60 years.Military Dogs only have a ceremonial rank and it's not based on the rank of their handlers. Working Dogs can have several handlers throughout their lifetime, so it makes no sense to tie the Dog's rank to the persons who will handle them and vice versa.Dogs are not enlisted (by the way that's the proper word enlisted, not inlisted) into the Armed Forces. They are acquired, like any other property. They are retained and maintained like any other property of the US Armed Forces would be. Only humans (qualified humans to be exact) are allowed to enlist into the US Armed Forces.Generals do not handle working dogs. In fact, I'm pretty certain no one above the rank of O-3 handles a military dog.If a General has a dog it is a pet. It's his/her pet. Pets are not military dogs, they're personal property belonging to whomever owns them. However much control the General’s pet has over him/her depends on the General. If the General believes his/her dog is in command of him/her, that is his/her choice. However the US Army isn't going to commission a Pomeranian as the General of the Army of the U.S. just because General So&So request it.Same concept goes for the General’s spouse or daughter.A General got to his rank and position by the approval of an outside body. So did the dog. Neithers rank or position are tied to each other. Besides that, you should always know that a Dog will never be higher than a General (except maybe in the General’s mind).

Is it true that in some countries military dogs rank higher than their handlers?

Yes it is "true", but it from tradition and not a actual rank. Traditionally military dogs have all been considered NCOs and are one rank higher than their handler. This was said to have starred so of the handler mistreated the dog the punishment would be worse.

Can a non-us citizen become a general in the US army?

US law requires that commissioned officers in the military, which obviously includes all flag officers, be citizens. Of course, if the military determines that you'd be suitable to serve as a commissioned officer but for not being a citizen, it can readily arrange for citizenship to be offered to you.So, it's possible for a non-citizen serving in the military to rise to flag rank (general or admiral), but he or she would necessarily have become a citizen somewhere along the way.

Is it true that US military service dogs are carry a higher rank than their handlers, and, if so, why?

The correct answer is that there is an unofficial “tradition” that the dog is one rank higher than it’s handler; however it is not officially recognized by the army (rank is vested in service members by virtue of their enlistment status or commission and applies only to human servicemembers. Dogs are military property, and property does not have “rank”) and their abuse would be prosecuted under Article 134[1] of the UCMJ[2] — not Article 91 (which would apply for striking an NCO).Sorry, any stories you hear about making it an intentional decision to prevent abuse are complete apocrypha. We may occasionally give them the trappings of being an actual NCO, or give them ceremony and medals….but that’s just an unofficial showing of respect; and holds no official weight.From the Army itself:[3]A Unique BondEvery military working dog is an NCO - in tradition at least. Some say the custom was to prevent handlers from mistreating their dogs; hence, a dog is always one rank higher than its handler."That's out of respect," said Sgt. 1st Class Regina Johnson, operations superintendent at the Military Working Dog School. "I see it all the time, especially in these young handlers. They make the mistake of thinking they're actually in charge. You've got to tell them, 'Hold up. That dog has trained 100 students. That dog is trying to tell you something.' I think the tradition grew out of a few handlers recognizing the dog as their partner."Johnson said some "non-dog people" get offended when animals receive honors normally reserved for humans, but the tradition seems to be growing stronger. A quick search on the Army website will yield several recent stories about military working dogs receiving promotions, medals and funeral ceremonies with military honors.The fact is these dogs and handlers save lives. "The more we're out there with the combat commanders, they see. They see that the dog just saved their Soldiers' lives. That dog just saved that entire platoon," Johnson emphasized."I think the rank is just a tradition. Of course, it's not recognized by the Army, but it's always something nice to be able to say this is something my dog did," she said.Footnotes[1] 10 U.S. Code § 934 - Art. 134.

What rank was Hitler in World War 1?

He enlisted in the 16th Bavarian Reserve Regiment. His final rank had two stripes, so everyone (even German officers) assumed that he was a corporal. At that time he was a Gefreiter, today a lance corporal or senior private. This is not an NCO like a full corporal. He was a runner from Regiment to the Battalions, and there was never a question of his physical courage, I would say he earned the IC 1st Class honestly. Had he chosen to transfer he could well have made higher rank, but preferred to stay with his unit, which in a huge war is the only family.

In an all-out war, could an army of 1,000 domestic cats defeat an army of 1,000 domestic dogs?

Some normal house cats can and do work together to teach dogs who is boss. Here is an example of one of the times my cats have enforced the rules.I had an adult 50 pound chow mix. I also had a 5 month old Shepherd lab mix who was around 40 pounds. I also had three adult cats ranging in weight from 6 pounds to 12 pounds. Even if my dogs were each over 55 pounds, I believe the result would have been the same.The cats had decided that they had put up with the dogs enough. One of my cats was on the arm of the recliner, another on the corner of the coffee table and the third on the floor between them. My two dogs approached the cats. The smaller dog was in the lead. The cats on the furniture both started hissing at the dogs. While the dogs were distracted, the cat on the floor stood up on her hind legs and ran toward the dog with both front paws swatting. The cat made contact with the dogs nose multiple times before he could react.The result is that both dogs ran to the back door and tried to go through it to escape. The door was not open. There is still a large dent in the metal door. The dogs had quickly learned that if a cat is coming, they should get out of its way. The cat that had done the actual attack was the 6 pound cat.Dogs in my household have learned that while cats may appear adorable, they are very agile, fast and have very, very sharp claws.Cats rule.
