Combat Rules - CaptO - 05-11-2011


It's quiet in here. . .too quiet. Here's some filler while people think of more important things to say. And no, I haven't forgotten about my response to my own question about women in combat - it's coming. I'm just stupidly busy here. I'll be glad when my Command and Staff course is done!

 

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 & 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.

 

Navy SEAL's Rules:

 

1. Look very cool in sunglasses.

2. Kill every living thing within view.

US Army Green Hat's Rules:

 

1. Walk in 50 miles wearing 75 pound rucksack while starving.

2. Locate individuals requiring killing.

3. Request permission via radio from 'Higher' to perform killing.

4. Curse bitterly when mission is aborted.

5. Walk out 50 miles wearing a 75 pound rucksack while starving.

 

US Army Rules:

 

1. Curse bitterly when receiving operational order.

2. Make sure there is extra ammo and extra coffee.

3. Curse bitterly.

4. Curse bitterly.

5. Do not listen to 2nd LTs; it can get you killed.

6. Curse bitterly.

 

US Air Force Rules:

 

1. Have a cocktail.

2. Adjust temperature on air-conditioner.

3.. See what's on HBO.

4. Ask 'What is a gunfight?'

5. Request more funding from Congress with a 'killer' Power Point presentation.

6. Wine & dine 'key' Congressmen, invite DOD & defense industry executives.

7. Receive funding, set up new command and assemble assets.

8. Declare the assets 'strategic' and never deploy them operationally.

9. Hurry to make 1345 tee-time.

10. Make sure the base is as far as possible from the conflict but close enough to have tax exemption.

 

US Navy Rules:

 

1. Go to Sea.

2. Drink Coffee.

3. Deploy Marines

4. Launch F-18's & bomb the shit out of anyone opposing the Marines




Combat Rules - Walt's Daughter - 05-11-2011


Ya, it sure is slow. This month has been pretty abysmal for new posts and replies. It reminds me of years ago. SLOW!!

 

 

Thanks for the filler aka laughs! :armata_PDT_01:

 

Funny thing too, we've had a bunch of new people sign up and I'm still waiting for many to make their first post. They keep telling me they want to find more info, but unless they take an active role, there's not much I can do for them. Seems a pity...

 

Ya, I've been busy as usual with multiple projects, inside the house and out.

 

Here's to you finishing your class. :wave2:
