Most Common Wrong Perceptions about U.S. Navy SEALs By Expert Author: James Kara Murat

Navy SEALs are a top antiterrorist unit that goes to any place at any time in any weather conditions to fight for and protect the American way of life. We hear a lot of stories, frequently hair-raising ones about the U.S. Navy SEALs. The more the tales vary, the more they remain the same. Their stories can usually make one’s blood run cold. But to real U.S. Navy SEALs, these amazing tales of reckless actions are unlikely to take place or to be true.

U.S. Navy SEALs generally don’t seek uncalculated or spontaneous risks or even have the intense desire for violence and terrifying blood shed. They are trained and equipped both physically and mentally to face such circumstances when forced upon them. Most U.S. Navy SEALs are quiet and exhibit no pretensions. They usually prefer to avoid talking about their work with outsiders. On the other hand, impostors may talk nonstop about their imaginary accomplishments, which are usually above and beyond the human capabilities.

Navy Seal operations may be classified but SEAL personnel are all listed in the BUD/S database. Some pretenders claim that their service records are “sealed” as a result of super secret work they did for any agencies in the intelligence community. Remember, the names of Navy Seal BUD/S graduates are included in the database as each and every new class graduates.

Many people believe that Navy SEALs have been held as a prisoner of war. No U.S. Navy SEAL has ever been one. Recently, U.S. Navy SEAL Neil Roberts was killed by hostile forces in Afghanistan following a firefight in which Roberts, alone and injured, sought cover and returned fire for as long as he could despite an overwhelming number of enemy combatants. However, Neil Roberts was not a POW, but he was a determined and courageous operator who, in spite of the circumstances in which he suddenly found himself in, relied on his training to be able to survive, escape, and take on the enemy until a support group can extract him. Regrettably, he didn’t survive the ordeal.

Reinforcing these lies and wrong perceptions about the U.S. Navy SEALs are the impostors themselves. The more accomplished impostors are at times very keen on putting up an otherwise laughable jungle of mirrors among the naiveté.

Glowstick History

Expert Author: Rene Sandan | Submitted: 2008-08-09 | Word Count: 457 | Views: 21

The history of glow sticks is over 40 years old when Edwin Chandross, a chemist at Bell Labs, invented the glow technology which used chemical energy to emit light. This was quite an achievement as at that point either battery or electrical power was used as an energy source for emission of light.

Weights and Measures in Japan

Like most nations, Japan relies on the metric system for most of its weights and measures. While you may be used to the British Imperial system used in the U.S., the fact is that anyone who can add, subtract, multiply and divide by tens will have a very easy time with weight conversion the metric way.

Volume-Metrics

If you're going to Japan, you'll need to know something about "volume-metrics". Since Japan is on the metric system, you'll need to know something about metric volume conversion, either by using a volume conversion chart or a calculator designed for metric volume conversion.

Those who are planning on driving their own or a rented private vehicle during their time in Japan should be aware of several issues - not the least of which is mileage conversion and how to use a gas mileage conversion chart. The fact is that in Japan, gasoline is sold by the litre, and distances are generally measured in kilometers.

Measuring Distance in Japan - The Metric Way

Expert Author: Susan Slobac | Submitted: 2008-08-05 | Word Count: 451 | Views: 63

Rejection of the metric system is a mystery, because metric length conversion is quite easy - far simpler than the old-fashioned Imperial system of weights and measures in use today. If you can count to and add, subtract, multiply and divide by tens, you can master the metric system in short order.

Japanese Area Conversion

Expert Author: Susan Slobac | Submitted: 2008-08-01 | Word Count: 543 | Views: 28

Like Great Britain (from which the current U.S. system originates), Japan once had its own traditional system of area conversion, weights and measures. Since the 1920s however, Japan has turned to the metric system as its official standard for the most types of measurement. Nonetheless, the Japanese hold on to a system of area conversion calculating that dates back well over a millennium - to the Ninth Century of the Common Era (AD), in fact.

The Art of Scholarship Hunting: Preparing Early

Expert Author: Jim Clark | Submitted: 2008-08-01 | Word Count: 503 | Views: 25

Preparation is a virtue that applicants need to have if they want to bag a scholarship. You always have to keep in mind that the competition for scholarship awards is very stiff. Thousands of students will be vying for the same awards, and many of them will have the similar academic and extra-curricular records. In order to differentiate yourself from the rest, you must make sure that your application is as exceptional and well-prepared as it can be.
