Because the rust is precipitated as a result of secondary reactions it is porous and absorbent and tends to act as a sort of harmful poultice which encourages further corrosion. For other metals or different environments different types of anodic and cathodic reactions may occur.
Veterans benefits and the Reserves. Each of the military services has a Reserve branch. Thereâs an Army Reserve, Air Force Reserve, Navy Reserve, Marine Corps Reserve, and Coast Guard Reserve. Like the active-duty forces, the Reserves fall under the auspices of the Department of Defense, so they are federal agencies.
Retirement for the Navy Reserve is based on a points system plus time in service. Like an active duty Sailor, a reserve Sailor is authorized to retire at 20 years. However, because a reservist is only required to work for the Navy one weekend a month and two weeks a year, retirement points are based on service completed. A Sailor must receive a minimum of 50 points in a year to achieve a good year, or a year that counts toward retirement. A good year, at its simplest, may be comprised of the following: * Drills. One day equals two points, and one drill weekend equals four points, for up to 48 points per year. * Annual training. One day equals one point, with a minimum of 12 days on AT per year.
