[QUOTE="Lineandinitial, post: 5039153, member: 29428"] They’re “Commissioned and Uniformed”, but not “Armed”. NOAA and PHS are part of the Uniformed Services”. Personnel do not have to have previously served to get those Commissions. It’s a very old custom that is still around. It made sense many many decades ago, but those people are never at risk of capture and do not need protection like the Geneva Conventions give military POW’s More like centuries ago. [/QUOTE]
