Each question worth 10 cents each for a total of 50 cents if you get them all.
True or False
1. Basic training is followed by a specialized or advanced training phase that provides recruits with a specific area of expertise or concentration. In the Army and Marines, this area is called a military occupational specialty (MOS); in the Navy it is known as a rate; and in the Air Force it is simply called an Air Force specialty.
2. Our E-3 makes a base pay of $1,501.20 every two weeks.
3. "Grade" is used for personnel and pay functions. Military personnel across the services receive the same base pay, based on their rank and number of family members. But as the "ranks" and “rates” are named differently in different services, to save confusion, "grade" is used.
4. The U.S. Coast Guard is a part of the Department of Transportation in peacetime and the Navy in times of war.
5. The early 1980s heralded a significant change in the way IGs did inspections. Traditionally, general inspections had focused primarily on evaluating a unit's compliance to regulations. However, purely compliance inspections tended to address symptoms rather than causes and made the assumption that policy guidance and directives were correct.
