Aircraft Carrier Operations 2010-2024 Form

Last time I flew in an airline -I won’t name,the flight attendant forgot to get me my meal. By the time the trolley signNowed me, the non-vegetarian meal rack was empty. I was told that they will get me the meal in 5 minutes, I told them even if it’s a vegetarian meal it’s fine. It wasn’t really an issue for me as I don’t like troubling them but they insisted that they have more fish packs and they will get me one.My wait was for half an hour, with them avoiding me,avoiding my call and not even looking at me. They didn’t even get me water. I got pissed. I literally raised my voice the next time with an “Excuse me, are you deaf?” and the flight attendant was like, “yes,mam can I get you something?” and my soft reply was,”YES! Your complaint book and it should not take half an hour, I want it right now.”That led to some prompt working and them apologizing for some 15 times in next 15 minutes, they offered me meals (which I refused) and goodies (I refused them as well) and as I didn’t accept their peace offering or apology, in the end, after our landing the ground staff met me and after another series of apologies they refunded my ticket.It’s not about the food,it’s about their non-caring attitude. I have paid for that seat and that meal with hard earned money. If one form of meal is not there, I understand it’s not their fault but if they refuse to get me any meal then I can get nasty as well.So, asking for the complaint book work wonders, do it the next time they harass you.PS I am not proud of what I did but it was needed.

NOOOOOOO. You are talking to a military romance scammer. I received an email from the US Army that directly answers your question that is pasted below please keep reading.I believe you are the victim of a military Romance Scam whereas the person you are talking to is a foreign national posing as an American Soldier claiming to be stationed overseas on a peacekeeping mission. That's the key to the scam they always claim to be on a peacekeeping mission.Part of their scam is saying that they have no access to their money that their mission is highly dangerous.If your boyfriend girlfriend/future husband/wife is asking you to do the following or has exhibited this behavior, it is a most likely a scam:Moves to private messaging site immediately after meeting you on Facebook or SnapChat or Instagram or some dating or social media site. Often times they delete the site you met them on right after they asked you to move to a more private messaging siteProfesses love to you very quickly & seems to quote poems and song lyrics along with using their own sort of broken language, as they profess their love and devotion quickly. They also showed concern for your health and love for your family.Promises marriage as soon as he/she gets to state for leave that they asked you to pay for.They Requests money (wire transfers) and Amazon, iTune ,Verizon, etc gift cards, for medicine, religious practices, and leaves to come home, internet access, complete job assignments, help sick friend, get him out of trouble, or anything that sounds fishy.The military does provide all the soldier needs including food medical Care and transportation for leave. Trust me, I lived it, you are probably being scammed. I am just trying to show you examples that you are most likely being connned.Below is an email response I received after I sent an inquiry to the US government when I discovered I was scammed. I received this wonderful response back with lots of useful links on how to find and report your scammer. And how to learn more about Romance Scams.Right now you can also copy the picture he gave you and do a google image search and you will hopefully see the pictures of the real person he is impersonating. this doesn't always work and take some digging. if you find the real person you can direct message them and alert them that their image is being used for scamming.Good Luck to you and I'm sorry this may be happening to you. please continue reading the government response I received below it's very informative.   You have contacted an email that is monitored by the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command.

I was selected for a summer internship 2016.I tried to be very open while filling the preference form: I choose many products as my favorite products and I said I'm open about the team I want to join.I even was very open in the  location and start date to get host matching interviews (I negotiated the start date in the interview until both me and my host were happy.) You could ask your recruiter to review your form (there are very cool and could help you a lot since they have a bigger experience).Do a search on the potential team.Before the interviews,  try to find smart question that you are going to ask for the potential host (do a search on the team  to find nice and deep questions to impress your host). Prepare well your resume.You are very likely not going to get algorithm/data structure questions like in the first round. It's going to be just some friendly chat if you are lucky. If your potential team is working on something like machine learning, expect that  they are going to ask you questions about machine learning, courses related to machine learning you have and relevant experience (projects, internship). Of course you have to study that before the interview. Take as long time as you need if you feel rusty. It takes some time to get ready for the host matching (it's less than the technical interview)  but it's worth it of course.

Just register on the admission portal and during registration you will get an option for the entrance based course. Just register there. There is no separate form for DU CIC.

Assuming that you are talking about 1099-MISC.  Note that there are other 1099s.check this post - Form 1099 MISC Rules & RegulationsQuick answer - A Form 1099 MISC must be filed for each person to whom payment is made of:$600 or more for services performed for a trade or business by people not treated as employees;Rent or prizes and awards that are not for service ($600 or more) and royalties ($10 or more);any fishing boat proceeds,gross proceeds of $600, or more paid to an attorney during the year, orWithheld any federal income tax under the backup withholding rules regardless of the amount of the payment, etc.

It's as simple as filling any school admission form but you need to be quite careful while filling for courses ,don't mind you are from which stream in class 12 choose all the courses you feel like choosing,there is no limitations in choosing course and yes you must fill all the courses related to your stream ,additionally there is no choice for filling of college names in the application form .

I am surprised, very very surprised, to see that no answer has discussed in depth the tactic in my answer.Japanese Kamikazes or Suicide TacticsThe emergence of the Kamikazes was influenced by the desperate situation confronting the Japanese in October 1944. It was a situation that arose since 1943 and deteriorated henceforth, and one that warrants an overview.In 1941, Japan reigned supreme in the Pacific. The Japanese Navy mounted a successful and devastating raid against the US Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor. The Japanese Army invaded European colonial possessions in Southeast Asia with astounding daring and swiftness, overcoming all Allied resistance with ease and accomplishing impressive military feats that struck fear of Japanese superiority into the heart of the Allies.Especially notable was the success of the Air Arm of the Japanese Navy. In 1941, Japanese Naval Air Arm was the strongest in the world. Japanese carrier-based aircraft, esp the Mitsubishi A6M Zero, were the best in the world. Japanese naval aviators, the products of a brutal and rigorous training program, were highly talented, the most skilled and most experienced in the world. Japanese tactical and operational capability in carrier aviation was peerless. Despite setbacks at Midway and Coral Sea, the Japanese Navy’s carrier force was much feared and respected by the Allies, particularly the US Navy.But, all of these changed since 1943.That was when the course of war started to go awry for the Japanese since the battle of Guadalcanal which was in effect an attritional battle both in the air and at sea. It was a battle that saw the decimation of Japan’s best naval aviators and the irreplaceable losses of warships and aircraft. While the US suffered losses just as heavy, her immense material resources and industrial power of the nation allowed such losses to be replaced rapidly.Most importantly, the US started to surpass Japan in naval aviation, the decisive instrument in the naval war in the Pacific. With the “fly until you die” policy, the Japanese Navy kept their veteran pilots in operations without rest and rotations. It was a terrible blunder on the part of the Japanese. By contrast, the US Navy rotated the best naval aviators back home to rest and to train the new aviators. Fuel availability also affected training programs. With a severe shortage of fuel, Japanese pilots school had to cut flying hours for the new recruits. The shortage was so bad to the point that training schools resorted to using films to show the trainees how to maneuver in the air and how to dogfight. With abundant fuel, the US Navy could afford to expand the training program without appreciable drop in quality. What’s more? Japanese resistance to innovation and limited industrial capacity meant that they continued using aircraft that were by then outdated. US aviation kept innovating, producing increasingly capable and high-performing aircraft that outclassed their Japanese counterparts.The result?A drastic disparity in pilot quality between the US Navy and Japanese Navy. Lacking experienced pilots to serve as instructors, the new Japanese aviators assigned for carrier operations lacked the valuable combat experience of their predecessors. New American aviators gained the hard-earned lessons of their more experienced peers which increased their chance of survival in combat and enabled them to defeat their Japanese counterparts. New American pilots had at least 300 hours of flight training compared to fewer than 100 hours for Japanese pilots.With better-trained pilots and better aircraft, the US Navy started to decimate the Japanese Navy since 1943 onwards. Eventually, aerial battles tended end in lopsided victories for the US Navy, with high kill-to-loss ratio that was best exemplified in the Marianas Turkey Shoot and the air battle over Formosa in 1944.It was in this crisis that the idea of suicide attacks or Kakamize was born.Suicide attack strategy was the brainchild of this man:Admiral Takijirō Ōnishi (Image source: Kamikaze Attacks of WW2 - Robin L. Rielly)In October 1944, Onishi was dispatched to the Philippines to help resist the American invasion of Leyte. Acutely aware of the qualitative disparity in air power between Japanese and US forces, he came up with a radical idea which was presented during a meeting on 19th October 1944:In my opinion, there is only one way of assuring that our meager strength will be effective to a maximum degree. That is to organize attack units composed of Zero fighters armed with 250-kg bombs, with each plane to crash-dive into an enemy carrier… What do you think?Onishi argued convincingly that suicide tactics was the best way to equalize the growing disparity both in qualitative and quantitative terms. Plus, by crash-diving into enemy ships, the accuracy rate could be guaranteed to be near 100% assuming no mishaps. This was desirable because munitions were unguided in WW2 and Japan did not have bombs to squander. Lastly, because the pilots were expected to engage in a one-way mission, they could double the range of their aircraft. The increased range would take the Americans by complete surprise as they were stationed outside of the maximum strike range of the Zeros and thus never expected Japanese aircraft to signNow them.Despite the patently suicidal nature of the recommendation, the idea of sacrificing one or a few Japanese lives to kill hundreds of American and to sink or cripple a big and expensive warship was very attractive to Japanese leaders. As a result, Onishi’s fellow officers quickly embraced it. It was the ultimate manifestation of the growing desperation among Japanese military leaders and their fanatical determination to do whatever it took to avoid the humiliation of surrender defeat and surrender.The radical idea was quickly put into action. The unit assigned to carry out the mission would be officially referred to as the Tokubetsu Kōgekitai or Tokkotai (translates to Special attack units). But Captain Onoguchi suggested a more poetic name: Shinpu which was formed by combing two Chinese characters: shin = gods (divine), fu = wind. When read in the classical Chinese fashion, they compound was read shinpu. When read in Japanese fashion, the same compound was read kamikaze. Kamikaze would become the most popular term of reference for Japanese suicide attacks of all forms, first by the Allies and then the Japanese as well.The most widely-used weapon of the Kamikazes were aircraft. The Japanese modified all types of aircraft in their arsenals, including trainers for kamikaze missions. Because the missions were one-way, most kamikaze aircraft would carry half of the fuel capacity. They were fitted with heavy bombs designed to inflict maximum destruction and death tolls.The 1st kamikaze mission was executed on 25th October 1944 by a small group of volunteer pilots led by Lieutenant Yukio Seki. The unit attacked a group of American escort carriers in Leyte Gulf and managed to sink the USS USS St. Lo. Over the next 48 hours, waves of kamikaze units attacked and heavily damaged 6 other escort carriers: USS Sangamon, USS Suwannee, USS Santee, USS White Plains, USS Kalinin Bay, and USS Kitkun Bay. They also struck 40 other ships, sinking 5 and heavily damaging 23.Over the next few weeks, various Tokkotai mounted about 2,000 attacks, sinking or damaging many warships. USS Franklin was hit on 30th October, killing 56. On 31st October, USS Belleau Wood was hit with the losses of 92 men and 12 planes.Members of the 1st kamikaze unit. The men were being offered a ceremonial farewell toast of water (not sake). Yukio Seki, the leader of this suicide unit was the man holding the cup in his hand (leftmost in the picture). Onishi was the man standing in the foreground facing the men. (Image source: The Kamikaze - Charles River Editors)USS Frankling burning after being hit by kamikazes.

(Image source: Kamikaze Attacks of WW2 - Robin L. Rielly)The initial success of the Kamikazes were due primarily to the totally unexpected nature of the attack. As a result, the Americans were totally unprepared to deal with it. They were taken by complete surprise as Captain Arthur Purdy, skipper of the USS Abner Read put it:This type of attack is quite different from what we have been combating before.The initial success made Japanese military leaders jubilant. They now realized that they had a new weapon that could compensate for their technological and material deficiencies. Onishi’s superior, Admiral Shigeru Fukudome, approved a massive expansion of the program. Success also inspired Onishi’s belief in the power of the Tokkotai to prevent defeat. In other words, he believed national honor would be preserved if the nation was willing to commit millions of Japanese to the ultimate sacrifice:If we are prepared to sacrifice twenty million Japanese lives in special attacks, victory will be ours.From a small and largely experimental program, tokkotais had evolved into a large scale program. Japanese leaders were now fully committed to the strategy of suicide attacks.The greatly expanded program required aircraft and pilots in large numbers. The Japanese had no trouble obtaining aircraft for suicide missions. They did, however, have trouble finding pilots to man airplanes. At the start, kamikaze pilots were all volunteers. But the previous kamikaze missions had decimated most of Japan’s experienced flyers. How could new recruits be found and trained to become kamikaze pilots?This dilemma was solved by this manAdmiral Matome Ugaki.What he did was drafting young men into the tokkotai. They were given training at the bare minimum on how to take off, fly, dodge AA fire, and most importantly, how to crash into enemy warships.Diagram translated from Japanese kamikaze tactical manual showing how to make a horizontal attack when there was element of surprise (Image source: Kamikaze Attacks of WW2 - Robin L. Rielly)Diagram translated from Japanese kamikaze tactical manual showing how to make a diving attack from high altitude. This was the preferred method of attack. (Image source: Kamikaze Attacks of WW2 - Robin L. Rielly)While there were enthusiastic volunteers, there were many who were drafted under varying degree of coercion. Peer pressure, deep-rooted sense of duty and patriotism made it impossible for many to refuse order to join the Tokkotais. But behind the veneer of bravery, there were many who seriously doubted if kamikaze attacks could prevent defeat. Some did not want to die for a lost cause and hence did not want to join.Particularly notable was the fact that many of these men were among the best and brightest of their nation’s generation: high schoolers, non-science university students (the Japanese military retained science university students for technical research and deemed non-science students like politics, literature, etc… to be useless for the war effort). Back then, education in Japan was fiercely competitive and challenging and only the best and most motivated young men were able to overcome the rigor to advance to higher level of education. They were drafted because because it was believed that their intelligence would enable them to learn quickly and become kamikaze pilots in the shortest period of time. The Japanese military needed as many kamikaze pilots for what they deemed as the forthcoming decisive battle in April 1945.The US Navy would face the full fury of the Kamikazes throughout the Battle of Okinawa. The sea around and the sky over this tiny island would witness the largest kamikaze attacks that involved thousands of suicide aircraft and pilots. The Japanese intended Okinawa to be a decisive battle and were determined to make the Americans pay dearly both on land and at sea as to shatter their will and deter them from invading the Home Islands. To fulfill that ambition, they formulated and carried out Operation Ten-Go which entailed large-scale kamikaze attacks by the air. A total of 10 kamikaze attacks referred to as Kikusui (Floating Chrysanthemum) were mounted. Their targets were US warships, especially aircraft carriers. All types of aircraft would be used. Midget submarines and explosive speedboats (discussed later) would also participate in kamikaze attacks. The primary targets were the American carriers and, once these were sunk, troop transports.The ten Kikusui aerial attacks and their corresponding time spans.Chart showing the number of aircraft active for the 10 Kikusui attacks.The outcome was a carnage at sea and in the sky. Both sides suffered heavy casualties. Before Okinawa was captured and the airbases on the islands could be used, US forces had to rely totally on aircraft carriers and their air groups to defend the fleet and provide air support for the marines. Although the USN’s air defense (particularly CAP and picket radars) was very effective, a few hundred kamikaze planes managed to get through the defense and dealt heavy damage to American carriers (illustrated by the pictures below). The ships that were hit the hardest were the radar picket destroyers stationed along the perimeter of the fleet. They were the first to detect incoming Kamikaze planes and were also the first to be hit by the attackers.All in all, the 10 Kikusui missions between 6th April and 22th June sank 27 ships and damaged 164. The US Navy suffered more than 4,000 casualties, much more than any other battle of the Pacific War.The graphic images below showed the appalling destruction and carnage inflicted by Kamikazes:US Destroyer Newcomb DD 586 shown here after being hit by a kamikaze aircraft on 6th April 1945 while performing screening duty off Okinawa.

He was drafted because he was not a science major. He was sent to this death in a kamikaze mission that resulted in crippling the carrier USS USS Bunker Hill (CV-17):The effect of Kiyoshi Ogawa’s kamikaze attack on USS Bunker Hill on 11th May 1945.

(Image source: Google)The hangar deck of a US carrier after being hit by kamikazes. Note the amount of melted metal on the floor. (Image source: Danger’s Hour - Maxwell Taylor Kennedy)Kiyoshi’s successful attack on the Bunker Hill resulted in the highest number of casualties of any kamikaze attack in WW2, killing 396 and wounding 264.All the images above were the testament to the destructiveness of kamikazes if once they hit a target.While aircraft accounted for the majority of kamikaze weapons, the Japanese also employed other types of weapon for kamikaze attacks: rocket-powered craft, explosive speedboats and midget submarines.Yokosuka MXY-7 OhkaIt was a special type of aircraft powered by a rocket engine and steered by a human pilot. The cockpit instrument was very simple. Once launched, there was no turning back and the pilot’s fate was sealed. With a large warhead filled with more than 1 ton of high explosive designed to explode on impact, a hit by an Ohka could sink a large warship.Technical drawing of the Ohka (derisively referred to as Baka or fool by the Americans). (Image source: Kamikaze Attacks of WW2 - Robin L. Rielly)Because of the limited amount of rocket fuel which limited the range of the Ohkas, they had to be carried to near the battle zone by conventional bombers. The Ohkas were attached to the belly of the mother bomber and would be launched once the a target was identified.Japanese pilots relaxing prior to embarking on a mission in their bomber in the background. An Ohka could be seen attached underneath the mother bomber. (Image source: Kamikaze Attacks of WW2 - Robin L. Rielly)Dragged down by the heavy ohkas under the belly, Japanese bombers were sitting ducks for fast American fighters. Many were shot down before they could find any target. As a result, the success rate of the Ohka was less than that of conventional aircraft.KaitenThe last notable kamikaze weapons were the kaitens or midget submarines. Like the Ohkas, they had a large warhead filled with explosives designed to sink ships beneath the waves. Also, their limited range necessitated the use of mother submarines to carry them to the battle zones.Japanese mother submarine I-47 seen here with Kaiten secured on the cradles on her decks as she departed from Otsujima on 20th April 1945. She was to travel to Okinawa where she would launch 2 Kaitens. (Image source: Kamikaze Attacks of WW2 - Robin L. Rielly)Kaitens at Kure Naval Base. This was taken after the war. The large number of kaitens reflected the magnitude of the special attack submarine effort and the determination of Japanese military leaders to sacrifice thousands of men in exchange for killing thousands of Americans. (Image source: Kamikaze Attacks of WW2 - Robin L. Rielly)It simply could not get any more brutal than this.Suicide acts were not peculiar to the Japanese military. There have been numerous recorded suicide acts done by soldiers of other nations, with the most typical being the last-ditch defense wherein there was no escape and soldiers fought to the death. The distinction between Kamikaze and other suicide actions consisted in:Kamikaze was a well-organized large-scale suicide attack strategy that was sanctioned by the highest level of the Japanese high command, with Admiral Onishi and Ugaki being the chief originators and executors. By contrast, suicide actions committed by American and European soldiers were usually the decision of the field commanders and they were not as systematic and widespread as Kamikaze attacks.Kamikaze was a strategy integral to the overall Japanese war effort in the final desperate year of the war designed to inflict not only massive physical destruction and high death tolls but also to strike sheer terror into the heart of the enemies, especially the Americans, as to deter them from invading the sacred Home Islands. By contrast, suicide tactic had never been an integral part of war strategies of the Allied nations as well as Nazi Germany.Indeed, while Kamikaze attacks yielded dismal success rate for the number of aircraft and pilots expended (due to effective American AA defense and the lack of skills of Japanese pilots), they exacted a huge psychological toll on the Americans. Born and grew up in a culture that valued human lives, American servicemen who faced the kamikazes simply were puzzled by an antithetical alien culture that glorified death and obliterated the will the live.Also, despite having low success rate, when kamikaze aircraft did hit their targets, the devastation was immense because added to the destruction by bomb explosions was the danger of large fire caused by burning aviation fuels from crashed kamikaze aircraft (as evident in the pictures of USS Bunker Hill above)Though brutal, the strategy of suicide attack was an entirely rational decision for Japan’s military leaders. Japan’s industrial and material resources were savagely limited. Despite the growing realization that the war was lost and Japan was being crushed by the sheer weight of American material superiority, they wanted to keep fighting, out of pathological fanaticism and desperation, in the hope of preventing defeat and the loss of national honor and the Imperial Institution. Suicide attack was the only way for them to accomplish that: by sacrificing a few Japanese lives in exchange for hundreds of American lives. It was a cold-blooded logic embraced by leaders of a nation that, throughout the war, consistently demonstrated ruthless disregard for human lives.Ironically and unbeknownst to Japan’s leaders, the kamikaze strategy failed to weaken American will to fight. Instead, it hardened hatred toward an enemy they viewed as non-humans and stiffened the resolve to see Japan completely destroyed. It removed all moral qualms among many US military leaders about employing the most drastic method to compel Japan to surrender: the atomic bombs.Reference(s)1/ The Kamikaze: The history of Japan’s World War II suicide pilots - Charles River Editors2/ Kamikaze Attacks of WW2 - Robin L.
