In the United States Army, United States Air Force, and United States Marine Corps, general is a four-star general officer, with the pay grade of O-10. General ranks above lieutenant general and below General of the Army or General of the Air Force; the Marine Corps does not have an established grade above general. General is equivalent to an admiral in the other uniformed services. Since the grade of General of the Army and General of the Air Force are reserved for war-time use only, and since the Marine Corps has no five-star equivalent, a four-star general is currently considered to be the highest appointment an officer can achieve in these three services. The U.S. Code of law explicitly limits the total number of four-star generals that may be on active duty at any given time. The total number of active duty general officers is capped at 302 for the Army, 279 for the Air Force and 80 for the Marine Corps.[1] For the Army and Air Force, no more than 16.3% of the service's active duty general officers may have more than two stars, and no more than 25% of those may have four stars.[2][3][4] This corresponds to 12 four-star Army generals, 11 four-star Air Force generals and 3 four-star Marine generals. Some of these slots are reserved by statute. For the Army and Air Force, the Chief of Staff and the Vice Chief of Staff are both four-star generals; for the Marine Corps, the Commandant and the Assistant Commandant are both four-star generals. There are several exceptions to these limits allowing more than allotted within the statute. A four-star officer serving as Chief of Staff to the President, or as Chairman or Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff does not count against his service's general or flag officer cap. An officer serving in one of several joint positions does not count against his service's four-star limit, but he does count against his service's limit on officers with more than two stars; these positions include the commander of a unified combatant command, the commander of U.S. Forces Korea, and the commander of U.S. European Command (but only if the commander is also the Supreme Allied Commander, Europe).[5] Officers serving in certain intelligence positions are not counted against either limit, including the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency.[6] The President may also add four-star slots to one service if they are offset by removing an equivalent number from other services. Finally, all statutory limits may be waived at the President's discretion during time of war or national emergency.[7]

4. The Future of the Labor Movement
November 07, 2008
As election day draws near, it appears extremely likely that Barack Obama will be elected the next President of the United States.

There are few weight loss programs out there that have been as successful for as long a period of time as Jenny Craig.

16. History of Poker Chips
September 09, 2008
Poker chips have been around for almost as long as the game of poker itself has been around. Although, these poker chips were definitely not what you or I would pick up for a gaming session with our buddies. During the 1800s, as poker and gaming in general was gaining popularity across the United States, particularly in the west, there was a need to keep track of the game play and of winnings and losses.
Not everybody had the same currency, and some people had no currency at all. Instead, perhaps they had small pieces of gold they were able to mine out or other expensive ores, gems or min... (read more)
