Old. Very old. My friend and I learned those by heart last year. Just for fun. Now we use them on every possible occasion…

a few are missing though, if I remember correctly:

  1. If the enemy is in range, so are you.

  2. Incoming fire has the right of way.

  3. Don’t look conspicuous: it draws fire.

  4. The easy way is always mine.

  5. Try to look unimportant, they may be low on ammo.

  6. Professionals are predictable, it’s the amateurs that are
    dangerous.

  7. The enemy invariably attacks on one of two occasions: 1. When
    you’re ready for them. 2. When you’re not ready for them.

  8. Teamwork is essential; it gives the enemy someone else to
    shoot at.

  9. If you can’t remember, the claymore is pointed at you.

  10. If your attack is going well, you have walked into an ambush.

  11. Don’t draw fire, it irritates the people around you.

  12. The only thing more accurate than incoming enemy fire is
    incoming friendly fire.

  13. When the pin is pulled, Mr. Grenade is not our friend.

  14. If it’s stupid but works, it isn’t stupid.

  15. When in doubt empty the magazine.

  16. Never share a fox hole with anyone braver than you.

  17. Anything you do can get you shot. Including doing nothing.

  18. Make it too tough for the enemy to get in and you can’t get
    out.

  19. Mines are equal opportunity weapons.

  20. A Purple Heart just proves that were you smart enough to
    think of a plan, stupid enough to try it, and lucky enough to
    survive.

  21. Don’t ever be the first, don’t ever be the last and don’t
    ever volunteer to do anything.

  22. The quartermaster has only two sizes: too large and too
    small.

  23. Five second fuses only last three seconds.

  24. It is generally inadvisable to eject directly over the area
    you just bombed.

Njeh, at least those are what we learned <_< A few are double now, but who cares. I like mine better makes a stubborn face
