Ranseur A ranseur ( also called a runkah or a rawcon [ sometimes incorrectly referred to as rawcuer ] ) was a type of polearm used across Europe up to the 15th century . It was still seen in court as a ceremonial weapon through the 17th century . Often thought to be a derivation of the earlier spetum , the head of a ranseur consisted of a spear - tip affixed with a cross hilt at its base . Often this hilt was crescent - shaped , giving it an appearance similar to that of a trident . Generally , the hilts did not have a cutting edge , unlike the double - edged partisan . Thus , Ranseurs resemble a sai mounted on a staff . Ranseurs are generally 6 feet or longer . The spearing function of the weapon is apparent but not always effective against armor of great protection , and the deflection includes the trapping of opponent weapons in the space below the main blade , where a twist of the shaft would apply pressure from that moment on at long range and of pulling mounted opponents from the saddle .
Junior technician Junior technician ( Jnr Tech , JT or J / T ) is a junior non - commissioned rank in the Royal Air Force , the Pakistan Air Force and the Royal Danish Air Force .

Since 2005 , no more RAF airmen have been promoted to this rank , being promoted to SAC technician instead . United Kingdom . The rank of junior technician is only held by airmen in technical trades and by musicians . Airmen in non - technical trades always progressed directly from senior aircraftman to corporal . Junior technicians are qualified to work alone and supervise untrained airmen working within their area of responsibility . The rank was introduced in 1950 as part of a new grading system for technicians , wearing a single point up chevron . In 1964 , when the grading system was abolished , JTs were retained , their badge changing to a four - bladed propeller . In 2000 the Royal Air Force changed the rank to Senior Aircraftman ( acting technician ) , SAC ( T ) . In 2005 promotions to the rank of junior technician ceased . However , those previously promoted continue to be at JT rank until they are promoted to Corporal or leave the service . JT is the most senior rank below Corporal and is considered to be equivalent to Lance Corporal in the Army but without the power to discipline junior ranks . Pakistan . Junior technician is also a rank in the Pakistan Air Force , where it ranks between corporal technician and senior aircraftman . Since 2006 it has been represented by single chevron beneath an eagle with outstretched wings . Denmark .

Merchant Marine Mariner ' s Medal The Merchant Marine Mariner ' s Medal is a decoration of the United States Merchant Marine . Because the Merchant Marine was not considered a branch of the U . S . Armed Forces , the Purple Heart was not available to Merchant Mariners ; as such , the Mariner ' s Medal was established by an Act of Congress on 10 May 1943 to solve this dilemma . Awarded only to members of the United States Merchant Marine , the Mariner ' s Medal recognizes seamen who were killed or wounded as a direct result of conflict against an opposing armed force ; in specific , it was awarded to any seaman who while serving in a ship during a war period is wounded , suffers physical injury , or suffers through dangerous exposure as a result of an act of enemy of the United States . In the event any such seaman dies from the wounds or injuries before the award can be made to him , the medal may be presented to the person named in the War Risk Policy as his beneficiary . 6 , 635 Mariner ' s Medals were awarded for service in the Second World War ; all further awards of the Mariner ' s Medal were suspended on 30 June 1956 and has not been awarded in subsequent U . S . theaters of conflict . Although the Merchant Marine Mariner ' s Medal is considered a federal service decoration , it may be worn on the uniforms of active duty service members . Design . Designed by Paul Manship , subsequent awards of the medal are represented by 5 / 16th inch gold stars affixed to both the suspension ribbon and the ribbon bar .

AIM - 26 Falcon The AIM - 26 Falcon was a larger , more powerful version of the AIM - 4 Falcon air - to - air missile built by Hughes . It is the only guided U . S . air - to - air weapon with a nuclear warhead , though the unguided AIR - 2 Genie was also nuclear - armed . Development . Starting in 1956 Hughes Electronics began the development of an enlarged version of the GAR - 1D Falcon that would carry a nuclear warhead . It was intended to provide a sure kill in attacks on Soviet heavy bomber aircraft . The original development was for semi - active radar homing and heat - seeking versions based on the conventional GAR - 1 / GAR - 2 weapons , under the designations GAR - 5 and GAR - 6 , respectively . The program was canceled , but was later revived in 1959 . The resultant GAR - 11 ( later AIM - 26A ) entered service in 1961 , carried by Air Defense Command F - 102 Delta Dagger interceptors . It used a radar proximity fuze and semi - active radar homing . The GAR - 11 used a sub - kiloton ( 250 ton ) W54 warhead shared with the ' Davy Crockett ' M - 388 recoilless rifle projectile , rather than the larger W25 warhead of the AIR - 2 Genie nuclear rocket . Out of concern for the problems inherent in using nuclear weapons over friendly territory , a conventional version of the GAR - 11 , the GAR - 11A , was developed , using a 40 lb ( 18 . 1 kg ) conventional high - explosive warhead . After 1963 the weapon was redesignated AIM - 26 . The nuclear version became AIM - 26A , the conventional model AIM - 26B . From 1970 to 1972 the nuclear warheads of the AIM - 26A weapons were rebuilt for the nuclear version of the AGM - 62 Walleye glide bomb . The AIM - 26 saw little widespread use in American service , retiring in 1972 . The conventional AIM - 26B was exported to Switzerland as the HM - 55 , where it was used on Swiss Mirage IIIS fighters . The AIM - 26B was produced under license in Sweden as the Rb 27 and modified , arming Saab Draken J - 35F and 35J fighters . It was retired in 1998 . When Finland bought Saab Draken fighters the license - manufactured Swedish Falcons were included . Survivors . Below is a list of museums which have an AIM - 26 in their collection :
