Is it against Army regulations to cheat on your wife?
Hi, I do not plan on cheating nor am I cheating on my wife, but I'm curious. A friend of mine told me that if you cheat on your wife you can get charged under the UCMJ. If that is true, what is considered cheating on your wife?(Making out? 2nd Base?, actually DOING IT?) What if your wife is super freaky and wants to bring other couples to bed? (This is all based on curiosity, I'm not a terrible sex party person I promise ;) )
What reg gives the army authority to conduct POV insoections?
If you look on the bottom of the sign at the gate you will note: Title X U.S.Code, blah blah blah. This means since you are voluntarily entering a federal facility, (government property) then by order of the Commanding Officer of the base the military has the right to conduct search and seizure. Also note that the sign states your entry onto federal property is also your agreement to submit you and all your belongings to search at any time. Great question.
Does the sworn u.s military oath to protect citizens from all threats foreign and domestic bypass police laws?
What oath are you talking about? There is no provision in the US military oath that says you are protecting citizens. Amongst the whole oath, the part that is relavent to your question says that you swear to protect and uphold the "Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic" and to "obey the orders of the President and those officers appointed over" you, according to "regulations and the UCMJ". Even if the "citizens" were inserted, the UCMJ and Constitution are quite clear that civil law trumps all else. While your question is interesting, it is not valid for the US oath of service.
Do US military members swear an oath to uphold the Constitution?
Yes.This is a video of a swearing in for the Oath of Enlistment a MEPS (Military Entrance Processing Station). Every enlisted member of the US military goes through this ceremony immediately after passing all required entry testing and screening. Effectively, it is the moment that your enlistment begins and you join the United States military. What is important to note is that all branches of the military are present to do the Oath at the same which is identical for each. There is not "Marine Corps oath" which differs from the Army's, or the Navy's. Each are treated the same and all swear a common Oath which first sentance states that begins with, "I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic."You can follow along with the text of the Oath provided below.This is the Oath of enlistment."I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God." (Title 10, US Code; Act of 5 May 1960 replacing the wording first adopted in 1789, with amendment effective 5 October 1962).Oath for Commissioned Officers. "I, _____ (SSAN), having been appointed an officer in the _______, as indicated above in the grade of _____ do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office upon which I am about to enter; So help me God." (DA Form 71, 1 August 1959, for officers.)
Should a non-service member wear military dress code while working on a military base?
It would be ill-advised to do so.Being mistaken for a service member who is either out of uniform or is wearing his/her uniform incorrectly can create numerous unnecessary headaches for civilians working on military installations. There are many overzealous service members who will go out of their way to “correct” someone who they believe to be violating military dress codes; and even if they are informed that you are a civilian, they still may attempt to create additional headaches for you.The federal agency which you work for or the contracting company which employs will have dress codes for you which are almost always inline with what is required by the installation where you are employed. If there are discrepancies between your attire and facility regulations they will be brought to your attention when you arrive or shortly thereafter.
U.S. Birth certificate - for child born abroad.?
People have given you a lot of information, but have not answered your actual question. Time spent either serving in the US military or as a military dependent abroad DOES count toward the residency requirement for transmission of US citizenship. It says so very clearly in the INA (Immigration and Nationality Act) in section 301(g): a person born outside the geographical limits of the United States and its outlying possessions of parents one of whom is an alien, and the other a citizen of the United States who, prior to the birth of such person, was physically present in the United States or its outlying possessions for a period or periods totaling not less than five years, at least two of which were after attaining the age of fourteen years: Provided, That any periods of honorable service in the Armed Forces of the United States, or periods of employment with the United States Government or with an international organization as that term is defined in section 1 of the International Organizations Immunities Act (59 Stat. 669; 22 U.S.C. 288) by such citizen parent, or any periods during which such citizen parent is physically present abroad as the dependent unmarried son or daughter and a member of the household of a person (A) honorably serving with the Armed Forces of the United States, or (B) employed by the United States Government or an international organization as defined in section 1 of the International Organizations Immunities Act, may be included in order to satisfy the physical-presence requirement of this paragraph. This proviso shall be applicable to persons born on or after December 24, 1952, to the same extent as if it had become effective in its present form on that date
How much control do US president have over military affairs?
The president is commander-in-chief which gives him authority to issue orders to anyone and everyone in the military. This is a lot of power but it has limits. For one, only Congress can declare war. This, in theory, limits where the president can order combat operations but presidents fudge this all the time by simply asserting that what they're doing isn't war even if it obviously is. (E.g., U.S. "military intervention" in Libya.)The Constitution also gives Congress the power to "make rules for the government and regulation of the land and naval forces." This means Congress gets to write and revise the Uniform Code of Military Justice, the laws which govern military conduct. The president as a civilian is not subject to the UCMJ but any order he issues in violation of the code is not legal. Members of the U.S. military swear an oath to support the Constitution and obey orders of the president "according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice" meaning they're obligated to disobey orders that are in violation of the UCMJ.Appointment of top officials at the Defense Department (Secretary and under secretaries, joint chiefs of staff, etc.) require Senate confirmation. Senate confirmation is also required for any officer commission and any officer promotion. Congress's most significant power is control of the purse. Through this power, Congress sets troop levels, salaries, construction/closure of military bases, and acquisition of all military equipment and weaponry.
How is military grade encryption defined?
TL;DR: The term military grade encryption is generally marketing BS. Most major militaries (such as the US Military) use off the shelf encryption algorithms with key lengths that vary depending on the levels of protected data's clearance (Sensitive, Classified, Secret, Top Secret, etc.).It's important that these algorithms are off the shelf or are otherwise public. As per Kerckhoffs's principle, a secure cryptosystem can't rely on secrecy of the algorithm or process of encryption/decryption because a skilled attacker will shred through such obscurity and discover faults in your system. This is one of the reasons why US DoD openly states the algorithms they use in public documents like the Common Criteria and the Rainbow Series - the primary reason being that it makes building compatible software for these systems a lot easier. The algorithm chosen for encryption may vary depending on the medium and intention. For example, unstructured and structured digital data at rest may be encrypted with AES whereas data in flight may be encrypted with SKIPJACK. Most militaries require these algorithms to be vetted by their government's electronic intelligence or technology standards organization for security (e.g.: US DoD regulations look to NIST or NSA for their choice of algorithms).As stated before, lengths for cleared data vary depending on governments' infrastructures and spend on infosec. But in US DoD it's usually pegged on minimum requirements: 128-bit+ symmetric for Secret, 256-bit+ for Top Secret, and a whole mess of other things for SCI. There's also length requirements on the hashing infrastructure for things like password data (SHA-256 and SHA-512 for sensitive information), and further implementation details on how you create and store keys to abide by Multilevel security.
Is it legal for my employer to forbid me from wearing sunglasses if I am required to work outside in the sun?
My employer has recently enacted a new policy that prevents all employees from wearing sunglasses. We work inside of our office building, but we are also required to work in areas outside that have no protection from the sun whatsoever. I know that UV rays can be very damaging to the eyes and was wondering if what our employer is doing is legal. I contacted OSHA, but couldn't get a clear answer. If you do know what the answer is do you also know what legal documentation I can use to support my claim?
