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 * even your friends
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.

SECURE
The reason the U.S. Armed forces have difficulty in coordinating and cooperating with each other is that they do not use the same jargon and misunderstandings frequently occur. For example...
If you tell the Navy to secure a building, they will simply turn out the lights and lock the door.
If you tell the Army to secure a building, they will occupy the structure and permit only persons with the proper pass to enter.
If you tell the Air Force to secure a building, they will take out a three year lease with an option to buy.
If you tell the Marines to secure a building, they will call for an air strike, assault the structure with heavy artillery, ground and small arms fire, capture the facility, fortify and hold the ground at all costs until properly relieved. SEMPER FI.

Dear Rick,
I can no longer continue our relationship. The distance between us is
just too great. I must admit that I have cheated on you twice, since
you've been gone, and it's not fair on either of us. I'm sorry.
Please return the picture of me that I sent to you.
Love,
Becky
The soldier, with hurt feelings, asked his fellow soldiers for any
snapshots they could spare of their girlfriends, sisters or
ex-girlfriends. In addition to the picture of Becky, Rick included all
the other pictures of the pretty girls he had collected from his
buddies. There were 57 photos in that envelope.... along with this
note.
Dear Becky,
I'm so sorry, but I can't quite remember who the f**k you are. Please
take your picture from the pile , and send the rest back to me.
Take care,
Rick
