Professional Soldiers are predictable; the world is full of Dangerous Amateurs
If you take more than your share of objectives; you'll be given more than your share of objectives to take
Sniper's motto: reach out and touch someone
Air Defense motto: shoot'em down, sort'em out on the ground
Napalm is an area support weapon
Weather ain't neutral
When in doubt empty your magzine
The bursting radius of a hand grenade is always one foot greater than your jumping range
NEVER TELL THE PLATOON SERGEANT YOU HAVE NOTHING TO DO
REAL SERGEANTS
Can cuss for ten minutes without repeating a word
Have a spine
Can play a cherry Lieutenant like a finely tuned instrument
Can see in the dark
Have eyes in the back of their head
Still don't trust the Russians
Still hate the French
Don't know how to be politically correct
Don't give a damn about being politically correct
Think that politically correct should fall under S#%& in the UCMJ
Love deployments because there is less paperwork and more real work
Can run five miles with a hangover
Do not fear women in the military
Would like to date G.I.Jane
Still know how to use a buffer
Can tell you everything you want to know about an M1911A1 although they are no longer in the inventory
Know that 45's knock people down while 9mm's just have bigger mags
Believe they have a rendezvous with destiny
Believe that Nuts wasn't all Brigadier General McAuliffe said to the Germans at Bastogne
Don't know how to use a stress card
Idolize John Wayne
Don't believe AAFES needs a commander
Aren't afraid of the Chineese who probabily don't have enough rowboats to invade Taiwan
Really don't like taking S#%& from those who haven't been there

Murphy's Rules of Combat
Friendly Fire- Isn't
Recoiless Rifles- Aren't
Suppressive Fires-Won't
You are not Superman; Marines and Fighter pilots take note
A sucking chest wound is nature's way of telling you to slow down
If its stupid, but works, it isn't stupid
Try look unimportant, the enemy may be low on ammo and not want to waste a bullet on you
If at first you don't succeed, call in an air strike
If you are forward of your position, the artillery will fall short
Never share a foxhole with anyone braver than yourself
Never go to bed with anyone crazier than yourself
Never forget your weapon was made by the lowest bidder
If your attack is going well, its an ambush
The enemy diversion you're ignoring is their main attack
No OPLAN ever survives initial contact
Five second fuses burn three seconds
A retreating enemy is probabily just falling back and regrouping
The easy way is always mined
Teamwork is essential, it gives the enemy other people to shoot at
