US Presidents Trivia: Who is the only President to serve in the army after the conclusion of his Presidency?

Having military experience isn't a prerequisite to becoming President of the United States, but is sure does help win a campaign.  31 of the 43 men to serve as President had some form of military experience, with 12 achieving the rank of general.  The President is the Commander and Chief of the United States and is actually a civilian; as a result, military service ends with (or before) ascension to the Presidency.  However, once in US History, and only once, has a President rejoined the military after serving as President.  So, off of Pocket Trivia: US Presidents - Who is the only President to serve in the army after the conclusion of his Presidency?  Was it:

• George Washington
• Dwight Eisenhower
• Andrew Jackson
• Ulysses Grant

US History Trivia: What is the oldest branch of the U.S. Military?

It's a bit strange to think about, but the five American military branches (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard) were not all actually formed at the same time (okay, maybe it's not too strange to think about, at least in terms of the Air Force!).  All branches have different founding dates, but just like everything, one of them is the oldest.  So, off of Pocket Trivia: US History -  What is the oldest branch of the U.S. Military?  Is it:

• Navy
• Army
• Coast Guard
• Marines

US Presidential Trivia: Which of these President's only took the oath of office once?

The Presidential Oath of Office is famous and can be recited by millions across the world by heart. It reads: I, NAME, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.  It is read by each Presidential upon their ascension to office, which officially takes place on January 20 following the November election, or upon the death of their predecessor.  However, like anything else, mishaps can occur.  So, off of Pocket Trivia: US Presidents - Which of these President's only took the oath of office once?  Was it:

• George H.W. Bush
• Barack Obama
• Chester Arthur
• Calvin Coolidge

US History Trivia: Which of these were reported on September 11, 2001?

Every American who was alive on that day can likely tell you exactly where they were on the morning of September 11, 2001, and remember the most explicit details about their locations during the event.  I first caught the news in the Red Door at Muhlenberg College but was in my Intro to Psychology class when the planes hit the towers, eating breakfast when the Pentagon was hit (hadn't heard the news yet) and watching the news when reports began to break about Flight 93 in Shankesville.  

The reporting was particularly interesting, especially with ten years of hindsight - many recollections about the day were dead on (most reporters immediately realized that the nation was under attack, particularly after the 2nd plane hit the 2nd tower), but many of the information given that day was false (on CNN, on-air anchors actually did not see the plane hit the South Tower and only saw the explosion - as a result, the initial thought was that the fuselage of the plane lodged in the North Tower had exploded).  Off of Pocket Trivia: US History - which of these stories were (wrongly) reported on September 11, 2001: There was a fire on the national mall, the FBI had been bombed, the Sears Tower had been bombed or the Brooklyn Bridge had been bombed?

Movies Trivia: In Star Wars: A New Hope, what species walks single-file, to hide their numbers?

I'll admit it: I'm a Star Wars geek.  I grew up watching the movies over and over again, reading the books, the whole nine yards.  If you are a Star Wars fan, you will without a doubt appreciate this question: off of Pocket Trivia: Movies Trivia - In Star Wars: A New Hope, what species walks single-file, to hide their numbers?  Is the answer Storm Troopers, Ewoks, Sand People or Jawas?

80s Trivia: What state did 'Saved By the Bell' originally take place in?

Who grew up in the 80s and didn't love Saved by the Bell?  It was practically a generational requirement.  The show has proven to be so popular that it spawned multiple iterations of the original series, including different classes, college years and a couple of made for TV movies.  I mean, Zach Morris was just the definition of cool!

The first class of Saved by the Bell wasn't even called Saved by the Bell - it was called Good Morning, Mrs. Bliss and featured Zach, Screech, Lisa, Mr. Belding and other characters who didn't make it to the main show: Mikey, Nikki and Mylo.  So, today's question, off of Pocket Trivia: 80s Trivia - What state did this iteration 'Saved By the Bell' take place in? Minnesota, California, Indiana or Florida?

90s Trivia: How many Americans suffered battle-related deaths during the first Gulf War?

The 90s, unlike the 00s, were punctuated with numerous successful American military conflicts.  Most remembered of those was the closest thing we had to a full-scale war during the 90s: the First Gulf War, otherwise known as Operation Desert Storm.  During the conflict, the United States and other allies invaded Iraq to beat back an Iraqi invasion of neighboring Kuwait.  The conflict was an unprecedented military success for the United States, with an extremely low number of American battle-related military deaths.  So, off of Pocket Trivia: 90s Trivia - How many Americans suffered battle-related deaths during the first Gulf War?  Was it 148, 390, 1212 or 4,539?
