Rules for Each Branch of the Military


Marine Corps Rules:
1. Be courteous to everyone, friendly to no one.
2. Decide to be aggressive enough, quickly enough.
3. Have a plan.
4. Have a back-up plan, because the first one probably won't work.
5. Be polite. Be professional. But have a plan to kill everyone you meet.
6. Do not attend a gunfight with a handgun whose caliber does not start with a '4.'
7. Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice. Ammo is cheap. Life is expensive.
8. Move away from your attacker. Distance is your friend. (Lateral and diagonal preferred.)
9. Use cover or concealment as much as possible.
10. Flank your adversary. When possible, protect yours.
11. Always cheat; always win. The only unfair fight is the one you lose.
12. In ten years, nobody will remember the details of caliber, stance, or tactics. They will only remember who lived.
13. If you are not shooting, you should be communicating your intention to shoot.

USN Carrier Flight Deck Personnel: Launch the Navy pilots, recover same. Launch the Marine pilots, recover same. Work on damaged, worn aircraft. Lie about the women you know in port. See "Chancre Mechanic" (a.k.a. Ship's Doctor) in sick bay 21 days after wild liberty in new port (new women, new strain). If repair on aircraft is too extensive, pass the buck to Depot Level maintenance. Repeat ad infinitum.
 
"If you're not shooting you should be reloading. If you're not reloading you should be moving. If you're not moving someone's gonna come cut off your head and put it on a stick."
--Clint Smith

"'I'm good! I shoot, I move, I communicate!' Yeah, but can ya do it on the GROUND? 'Cause that's where you're gonna be in a fight."
--same

First Rule of Gunfighting: "HAVE A GUN!"--Mark Moritz
 
Never share a foxhole with somebody braver than you.

If the enemy is in range, so are you.

Tracer can be seen from either direction.

No plan of action survives the first exchange of shots.

Shoot at any part of the enemy that you can see - nobody runs away with a couple of 7.62 rounds through the foot.

Shoot 'em in the eyeball - any eyeball.

A single hit is better than a thousand misses.

A bullet is impersonal - you can shrug it off if it misses you. OTOH, a bayonet is VERY personal, and can be very persuasive if used with a certain amount of determination.

There are more.

You have to go out - but you don't have to come back.

I got out 20 years ago, and wasn't sure if the life of a Ranger has changed much. Apparently not.
After 4 years of humping that ruck, I'm glad I got out when I did. And to those still humping it, you are a better man than I.
 
My brother, on his return home as an E6 from Vietnam in 1973, attributed his survival to #5 on the Army's list.

He also said something about what it cost you to knock one on his azz, when located in the middle of Cambodia.
(or was it Laos?)
