	All but the bottom two :(

	Ya, most people won't know that those 2 noncombatant services are legally counted as "uniformed services."

	Can you please accept NOAA as a correct answer for the last one?

	folio1701:	Mar 10th, 2010 at 14:27 GMT	-1 points
	Accepting NOAA would be technically incorrect. The Corps is only a small part of NOAA - most NOAA employees aren't uniformed. Considering how difficult the last 2 are though, I'll give it to you.

	postal service?

	Refer to the source article. There are seven uniformed services as established by federal statute. Postal service not one of them.

	Make it so you don't have to click on the answer to type it in. There's no reason not to in this type of quiz.

	You have to accept NOAA or Coast and Geodetic Survey or National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. There's no way anyone else would think to add "Commissioned Service", and I (though no closer to any of these than having been a census taker) have actually worked on Wikipedia's templates of uniformed service ranks for officers and NCO's. That doesn't mean I know anything at all but it did make me familiar with the seven services, and I didn't think to add "Commissioned Service".

	Thanks for the suggestions. I've made the last 2 changes.

	@luke78 The operative word is SERVICE. The USPS contracts its workers like any business would. The Uniformed Services commission officers who are sworn to duty and can't just give 30 days' notice if they want to quit.
