What is the military flaging system and the AR?
83058
The military uses a "flagging" system to denote a deficiency serious enough as to merit a suspension of favorable personnel action. Uniformed service members can be flagged for a variety of reasons including height/weight violations and physical fitness test failure. While it does not bar all personnel actions, actions such as promotions and re-enlistment are stopped until the member is back in compliance with regulations.\n\nI don't know about the other services, but the Army's guidelines are found in AR (Army Regulation) 600-8-2, Suspension of Favorable Personnel Actions. Link for the PDF of AR 600-8-2 is below.

IT appears backwards becuase when you are running forward with the flag, this is the way it appears. It is placed on the uniform this way as to remind the soldier to always move forward.

If its the German sports badge you cant wear it, as its a civilian badge. If its the German Armed Forces Proficiency Badge you can wear in IAW AR 670-1. YOU had to earn the sports badge first to get the other one. Other dude dont know what hes talking about. You may only wear one foreign award on you class A uniform at a time. So you cant wear a german marksmenship badge (also a somthing you have to earn before you get the proficiency badge) at the same time. Any questions feel free to contact me. If you doget the Germans Leistungs badge its worn on right side above pocket.

Bound's hubby here:\n\nThe AR you have listed in the link is an accurized version, that most shooters call a "Space Gun".\n\nThere are small modifications added by Colt to increase the accuracy of the AR. \n\nFirst, notice the handguard ... it is a design called a "float tube". By its design, the handguard attaches only to the upper receiver. No part of the barrel contacts the handguard. Also, the sling swivel mounts are attached to the handguard, not the barrel. What these minor modifications do is to reduce the downward pressure that would be applied to the barrel when the rifleman attaches the riflesling to their arm. This DOES increase the accuracy of the rifle. \n\nSecond, what can not be seen, but is probably installed, is a devise called an "accu-wedge", a small "rubber-like" washer that fits between the lower and upper receiver at the rear pillar, near the rear receiver pin.\n\nHope this answers your question!\n\nGood luck!

Basically, it means that the military has total jurisdiction to try (go to court) with any person(s) or alien (non-citizen) who attacks or support attacks on military property or personnel.\n\nThis court is made up of a military commission (so like generals and possibly senators too).\n\nExample: you (an American) and your Arabian friend are associated with the Taliban decided to supply weapons for them to attack a US military base, and you were part of the attacking group.  You and your friend will be tried by a military commission.  Not in a tradition court with a judge and jury.  But in a panel without jury.

you were a submariner on the USS sturgeon (SSN-637) but are now discharged and are a veteran ("vet").\n\nno?\n\n(i did a web search for your user name and found what looked like a web page of a guy's canoeing pictures, presumably yours, and a big american flag in the background.  the big flag is pretty typical on the pages of veterans, which made me think about the SSN, which i knew was a navy designation for different ships, so i searched for ssn 637 and found the sturgeon.)

Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency\n\nThe Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is an agency of the United States Department of Defense responsible for the development of new technology for use by the military. DARPA was responsible for funding development of many technologies which have had a major impact on the world, including computer networking (starting with the ARPANET, which eventually grew into the Internet), as well as NLS, which was both the first hypertext system, and an important precursor to the contemporary ubiquitous graphical user interface.\n\nIts original name was simply Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA), but it was renamed DARPA (for Defense) on March 23, 1972, then back to ARPA on February 22, 1993, and then back to DARPA again on March 11, 1996.\n\nDARPA was established in 1958 in response to the Soviet launching of Sputnik in 1957, with the mission of keeping the US's military technology ahead of its enemies. DARPA is independent from other more conventional military R&D and reports directly to senior Department of Defense management. DARPA has around 240 personnel (about 140 technical) directly managing a $2 billion budget. These figures are "on average" since DARPA focuses on short-term (two to four-year) projects run by small, purpose-built teams.

"A while ago, the US government released guidelines for proper display of the flag. When the flag is not a “real” flag on a flagpole – like on a patch or painted on a vehicle, the blue star field must always point in the direction of movement. That way, the flag always looks like it’s blowing in the wind. It is not all Army patches that are reversed – only the right arm. The left arm is already oriented in the proper direction. It’s not just patches that follow these guidelines. \n\nTake a look at airplanes, Greyhound busses, Humvees – any moving vehicle that has a flag painted on it. The right side of the vehicle has the flag painted reversed, and the left side is “right.” \n\nIn a weird way, it kinda makes sense."

You might look to the "DOD banner" for inspiration.  This is put into place as a reminder of the kind of use the system is intended for that the gov't uses on all of it's classified machines.  I would start there.
