A child with AD/HD [ A.D.D. OR ADHD ] is usually described as having a short attention span and as being distractible. In actuality, distractibility and inattentiveness are not synonymous. Distractibility refers to the short attention span and the ease with which some children can be pulled off-task.
Both the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Marine Corps authorizes service stripes to those service members for every four years of service. In cases where a disciplinary infraction has occurred, the service member is not denied a service stripe but simply is authorized the standard red stripe design.
The gold buttons worn on the dress blue coat feature one of the earliest Marine Corps emblemsâthe eagle and anchor with an arc of 13 starsâand have been a part of the uniform since 1804, making them the oldest military insignia in continued use.
