Military Rules
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 wont 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.

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.

13. If you are not shooting, you should be communicating your intention to shoot.

I had to laugh at the Air Force one. When I was in Nam, the only air conditioners I saw were on the Quonset Huts at the Danang Air Base.

As I recall at Marble Mountain the Air Force had cement block barracks while the USMC lived in tents. Must have been nice for the Air Force. Of course the Air Force enlisted are the only ones smart enough to stay at home and send the officers off to fight.
We all do our part.

OH,NO. he was sent home and received Medical discharge. Sorry if I mislead you. No, that old Jarhead is still around.
Excellent, not your fault, I assumed wrong. So many of our Marines came home in a casket. Fortunately none in my platoon. Semper Fi
