Subdeacon Joe Posted September 28, 2022 Author Share Posted September 28, 2022 While technically not one of the armed forces NOAA has had guns since it was formed in 1970. NOAA is one of the Uniformed Services, consists of only officers, and is subject to being pressed into military service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas Joker Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 It's why Dirk Pitt didn't get thrown in jail all the time. He was a Fed since he worked for NOAA. It's like the USPHS. US Public Health Service is a commissioned Uniform service that most people have never heard of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
