Nonrenewable resources are used worldwide to create electricity, heat homes, power vehicles and manufacture goods.

Some nonrenewable resources have been formed over millions of years and will eventually be depleted altogether. (See References 1)

Basic Active Service Date (BASD), also known as Date Initially Entered Military Service, (DIEMS) is an important date for service members of all the military branches.

For new service members, it can be difficult to find out your actual BASD. In many cases, it is not the date you began training.
