U.S. 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."

Yes I do have a sense of humor, now that is funny stuff. Thankfully in the army we did not wear a beret when I was in.

As a vet,, I can chuckle at all of these.

Now,, I'm going all PC on ya.
I'm offended. It's slanted in favor of the Marines. We should all be equal. Nobody should be special or recognized any differently than anybody else. Everybody should win. No losers.
(Ok, PC rant off,,,, and if you didn't get it,, I'm poking fun at the stupid PC types.)

Just goes to show that Marines never fully understand the mission. The Streets of Gold in Heaven don't need protecting...

When I was in USAF, we were very proud that our unofficial motto was: "We Fight Sitting Down." :wink:

We also got a kick out of the fact that we were the only service that sent our officers out to do the actual fighting, while the enlisted men stayed on base and smoked cigarettes and drank coffee. :lol:

Gunny, good advice there. Didn't see any favorable advice toward Marines, they seem to have more rules. Maybe than can remember them better. :mrgreen:
Almost like boy scouts, Marines should be prepared for anything.

National Guard.

1. Always look busy.
2. If you have to go somewhere, carry something. A tool or a clip board will do.
3. Sgts: If an officer tells you something, wait for the third time - They change their minds a lot.

Regular Army : Sgts: If an officer tells you something,
DO it the RIGHT way because he wont remember that he told you the WRONG way and will take credit for the completed job.
