MILITARY RULES

This is not a good picture of my wife.  It is however a good picture of one of the reasons of why she is as wonderful as she is.  She has a walk with Christ that is real.  This is a common sight every morning.  Proverbs 18:22

Joke at bottom
---------------------------------

I admit I have a bias toward the Marines.  Some of these are simply perception and I am sure the other branches have the same derogatory and insulting things to say about the USMC.  Through it all I am hoping the president learns how to pronounce Corpsman. 

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, distance, or tactics. They will only remember who lived.

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

Navy SEAL Rules:
      1. Look very cool in sunglasses.
      2.  Kill every living thing within view.

     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 2 LTs; it can get you killed.
     6.  Call in air strike on suspected targets.
     7.  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 13:45 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.  Targets are engaged over the horizon.  If they get close enough to see, you have 

           messed up.
      5.  The only Navy employee who should actually see the target is the Marine who is 

            confirming the"hit".       Go Navy!

And the next... (You've got to love the military, and God bless them all.)

   U.S. Navy Directive 16134 ( Inappropriate T-Shirts )

The following directive was issued by the commanding officer of all naval installations in the Middle East . (It was obviously directed at the Marines.)

All commanders promulgate upon receipt.  The following T-shirts are no longer to be worn on or off base by any military or civilian personnel  serving in the Middle East :

1.  'Eat Pork or Die' [both English and Arabic versions]
2.  'Shrine Busters' [Various. Show burning minarets or bomb/artillery shells impacting    

      Islamic shrines. Some with unit logos.]
3.  'Napalm, Sticks Like Crazy' [Both English and Arabic versions]

1. 'Islamic Religious Services Will Be Held at the Firing Range at 0800 Daily.'
2.  'Do we really need 'smart bombs' to drop on these dumb bastards?'

All commands are instructed to implement sensitivity training upon receipt.

Well this is why we need good chaplains in the military, along with good guns.

About that sensitivity training.  The next Commander in Chief should by Executive Order stop all of that nonsense.

"Even after the New Orleans Saints' Super Bowl victory, I have noticed a large number of people, implying with bad jokes and anecdotes, that Loozianna Cajuns ain't smart.

I would like to state for the record that I disagree with that assessment.

Anybody who would build a city five feet below sea level, in a hurricane zone, and fill it with Democrats who can't swim, is a  genius".

I await some thin skinned "progressive" to accuse me of hate-speech.  Actually I doubt any of them read this or any contrary blog.  FB has changed the face of commentary.
