How to Make Money Recruiting an Army of Online Marketers

Posted by ArmyRecruiter Comments (0)

Making money online always comes down to selling a product
or service. You can personally sell the product or service
or you can recruit others to do it for you. Here are a few
ways you can make money from home recruiting your own army
of online marketers.

1. You may be familiar with network marketing. In the past
it was known as multi-level marketing or MLM businesses.
This is a great way to make money recruiting other people
because you get paid on the efforts of their sales and
purchases.

The world wide web is a great way to build a MLM business
today because of how quickly you can do it. You do not want
to personally spend the majority of your time selling
products, but rather work on recruiting an army of Internet
marketers to do it for you.

Most network marketing companies will pay you in depth for
building a downline! This is why you want to spend the
majority of your time recruiting and training your downline,
so that you can make big network marketing checks.

2. Another way to make money recruiting an army of Internet
marketers is through two tier affiliate programs. With
affiliate marketing you get pay checks to sell other
people's products. In a two tier program you get paid on the
sales of people that you personally recruit.

Therefore it is to your personal advantage to recruit as
many top affiliate marketers as possible. The larger the
army of marketers you recruit, the more potential money you
earn from them.

As you are recruiting them you want to spend time teaching
them the success secrets to you personally are using to make
money. This obviously will include teaching them how to sell
the affiliate products as well as recruit members of their
own.

3. A third way we want to talk about that you can make money
recruiting people online is to start your own affiliate
program. Depending on the commission rate you pay out it is
reasonable to think that you can earn around 50% on every
sale of affiliate marketers in your program.

After you subtract out your overhead and administrative
costs, you can still be left with a very nice commission on
every sale. An affiliate program with thousands of
affiliates selling your products can be worth literally a
fortune to you in income.

This is three ideas on how to make money recruiting an army
of Internet marketers. Anyone can do these three methods if
they choose to.

The Life of a United States Army Engineer After World War I

Posted by ArmyRecruiter Comments (0)

Although the war was over by the time Howard L. Peckham's
years at West Point ended, his studies did not end. He and
other high-achieving second lieutenants who had graduated
into the Corps of Engineers reported soon after graduation
to the U. S. Army Engineer School in Virginia, which had a
curriculum known to be rigorous and demanding. Even though
he had been awarded a bachelor's degree from West Point, he
looked forward to continuing his studies. Also, he revered
military engineering and knew that military engineers had
played a vital role in overseeing the construction of
buildings, fortifications, canals (including the Panama
Canal), and other structures that had made America great. He
was overjoyed about becoming part of that history.

In addition to basic construction classes, battlefield
engineering was an important part of his course of study.
During the summer of 1919, he and his engineering school
classmates visited Europe to inspect the battlefields in
France and Germany. They focused primarily on the
engineering aspects of battlefields, which involved learning
to build bridges, construct airfields, transport troops
across rivers, lay roads, and destroy enemy fortifications
in a combat-style environment. They were aware that these
and other engineering tasks could be better learned on the
actual battlefields of World War I than in classrooms.

Like most of the young men in his group, Howard Peckham had
never before traveled outside the United States, so he was
glad for the opportunity to come face-to-face with the
culture of the Old World. He recalled years later that he
and the other officers were, for the most part, welcomed
politely in postwar Europe. French people fondly remembered
the Americans, many of whom were very young and had cheeks
as fresh as apples on Brittany's trees, who had come to help
them during the war.

At Bellicourt in northern France, the group saw the location
of an offensive that had taken place in September 1918. Here
troops from the United States had boldly charged through
Germany's Hindenburg Line, which subsequently crumbled like
a wall of clay. The Germans had built that intricate
system-composed of barbed wire, wide trenches, long tunnels,
concrete bunkers, and machine gun pads-thinking it would be
impenetrable. They were greatly mistaken. Although the
offensive had been a success, American casualties had been
so heavy at Bellicourt that a cloud of sadness hung over
Howard's group as they walked along the dusty roads
surrounding it.

After graduating from the engineering school in June 1920
and receiving his promotion to first lieutenant, Howard was
ordered to report to the Missouri School of Mines, located
in the small town of Rolla. The school, which emphasized the
study of mining engineering and metallurgy, was later
incorporated into the University of Missouri system. Here he
served as an instructor in military science and tactics in
the Reserved Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) department. At
the completion of his two-year assignment, he enjoyed a
similar position at the nearby University of Kansas.

These Midwest assignments were not only very pleasant
interludes; they bolstered his leadership image among his
superiors. They now saw him as a very professional officer
who was also an excellent instructor. These assessments
would serve him well in the future.

Combat Haulage – Lorries in the British Army

Posted by ArmyRecruiter Comments (0)

The Royal Logistics Corps is the arm of the British Army
that deals with supply, rail and road haulage and
distribution. The Army would be lost without adequate
supplies, both in peace and wartime, and the Corps is their
link to ammunition, essentials and medical supplies. The
lorries that they and other specialists use are the backbone
of any Army operation. We take a look at the vehicles some
of the world's bravest lorry drivers use.

Close Support Tanker

Like many of the Army's vehicles and tanks, the Close
support tanker does exactly what it says on the tin. Less a
lorry than a tanker truck, it comes in three variants - none
of which are your run of the mill road haulage vehicles: the
15,000-litre Tactical Air Refueller and the 18,000 and
20,000-litre Close Support Tanker (one for fuel and the
other water). Other lorry drivers should take note not to
mess with it if seen on the motorway - it sports enhanced,
blast-proof armour and can be fitted with a 7.62mm machine
gun.

All Terrain Mobility Platform

The All Terrain Mobility Platform, or ATMP, is the modern
equivalent of the Second World War Bren Gun Carrier. Though
it looks like a quad bike with more attitude, the ATMP is a
front line logistics vehicle. Its' larger liquid, goods and
road haulage brothers and sisters might be in danger of
looking down their noses at the ATMP due to its diminutive
size, but it excels at what it's designed for. It can carry
deceptively heavy loads, is amphibious, and is most often
used by light or airborne regiments in areas where lorries
aren't practical. And like many army logistics vehicles, it
isn't defenceless; it can be upgraded with the GPMG (General
Purpose Machine Gun) which fires 7.62mm rounds at a rate of
750 a minute. A small but very powerful haulage vehicle.

Motorcycles

You wouldn't think motorbikes would be used in the British
Army, but they prove excellent for courier services and
document delivery. But once again, these aren't the usual
motorbikes. Specially modified Harley Davidson MT350Es and
Honda R250s are used, increasing the load a bike can take as
well as having a special pannier for the SA80 infantry
rifle.

Heavy Equipment Transporter

The Heavy Equipment Transporter (HET) is one of the largest
available types of road haulage the Army employs. Challenger
II main battle tanks don't get to the war zone on their own,
and the HET is the vehicle that moves them from place to
place. They are also used as relocation and haulage
transporters for immobilised tanks, taking them from the war
zone to areas where the Royal Electrical and Mechanical
Engineers can re-track them and get them back into working
order. The HET can move a huge amount of weight (72 tonnes
in total) thanks to its Caterpillar C18 turbocharged diesel
engine. It dwarfs all other forms of road haulage, and
embodies the pride and might of the British Army and her
logistics and engineering corps.

Lyall Cresswell is the Managing Director for the Transport
Exchange Group. Haulage Exchange, their freight exchange for
the 7.5 tonne and above market, offers an independent
environment for its members to find that next road haulage
job.

US Army AK-47 Machine Gun vs. the M16 or M14

Posted by ArmyRecruiter Comments (0)

Which would you rather see the United States Army using, the
AK-47 or the M16? Most people prefer the M-16 without a
doubt. The M-16/M4 has superior accuracy, ergonomics, and is
just as reliable as the AK with proper cleaning and
lubrication. The available accessories such as rail systems,
optical sights, suppressors, etc. far outweigh the available
accessories for the AK system.

The AK is a fine rifle for untrained peasants, and
conscripts, but for a modern Army there are far better
choices.

First off the M-14 fires the 7.62 X 51mm round, also known
as the .308 Winchester. The AK-47 fires the 7.62 X 39mm.
These are two vastly different rounds. In military loads the
7.62 NATO drives a 150-168 grain bullet at 2550-2700fps. The
7.62 x 39mm drives a 124gr bullet at around 2100-2200fps. As
you can see the 7.62 x 39mm is no where near as powerful as
the 7.62 NATO. The 7.62 NATO is a full powered round, as the
7.62 x 39 is an intermediate powered round.

The 7.62 NATO is basically a shortened 30/06, while the 7.62
X 39mm is derived from the German MP-44 Sturmgewer 7.92
Kurtz.

In the M-16 series, the prefix XM denotes experimental.
These weapons were never put into service for the most part,
as they were prototypes. The basic receiver layout is the
same, the different A2, A3, etc, denote different FCG parts
and optic and sighting systems.

The AK today is for all intents and practicality, the same
weapon it was in 1947. The Communist Bloc does not have the
same doctrine when it comes to small arms that the west
does.

I am a certified armorer for the M-16/M4 system by a current
Government contractor, and I have also had several thousand
rounds of experience with the AK system as well.

Due to all of that experience I can tell you that, the M-16
is not as unreliable as some claim, and that the legendary
reliability of the AK is somewhat overstated.

The AK is a good weapon, but it is no where refined as the
M-16 series or any other assault rifle system in use today,
such as the Galil, (which is a refined AK variant) AR-70,
Sig 550, Steyr Aug, and some others. The M-16 is the most
widely used 5.56mm weapon in the world today. It has been
the longest used standard issue rifle in US history for a
reason. It works.

As far as the M-14, it is a fine rifle. All things being
equal, I would choose a 7.62mm rifle as well, if I were
going into harms way. But my choice would be the FN/FAL. The
M-14 and the FAL were in the trial together back in the 1950
for adoption by the US military. The M-14 won the tests and
was adopted by the US. The FAL was adopted by 93 other
nations, and still serves today in parts of the world. Both
are a good choice, but it does come down to that whole
personal preference thing.

Types Of Flak Jackets Used By The Military During The

Posted by ArmyRecruiter Comments (0)

Vietnam War

Every frontline soldier in Vietnam was issued a flak jacket
as part of his combat kit. The flack jacket is worn over
the upper body, and was designed to give protection against
small arms fire, shrapnel, and flying debris.

The Marines usually wore the Vest, Armored, M-1955. It
weighed just over 10 pounds and was made form a mixture of
nylon and a special protective material know as Doron.
Doron was first manufactured in 1943 by the DowChemical
Company, and was created by bonding together glass filaments
under high pressure, using a resin called methacrylate.
This produced a hard but light weight material which could
withstand ballistic impact at very short range. The vest
was fitted with twenty three separate Doron plates, with
layers of nylon to cushion the impact of a direct hit.

The Army?s flak jacket was slightly different. It was
called Body Armor, Fragmentation Protective, Vest M69. It
reflected the Army?s preference for nylon-aluminum rather
than Doron. Protection was built up by means of layers of
ballistic nylon filler, sealed in a waterproof vinyl plastic
casing. The vest weighed under 8 pounds and was more
comfortable than the M-1955, especially in the heat and
humidity of Vietnam, although in both cases the habit of
wearing the flak jacket unzipped to keep cool, undermined
its value.

Unfortunately neither vest was really designed to stop an
AK-47 round fired point blank, but they did a pretty good
job of stopping shell blasts, rocket fragments, snake bites,
fire ant bites, prickly thorn and the odd bullet that had
just about run out of gas.
