Marine Corps:
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 plan 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 at least 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 and 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.

1. Look very cool in sunglasses.
2. Kill every living thing within view.
3. Adjust Speedos.
4. Check hair in mirror.

Curse bitterly. Airforce: 1. Have a cocktail. 2. Adjust temperature on air-conditioner. 3. See what's on HBO. 4. Ask 'what's a gunfight?'. 5. Request more funding from Congress with a 'killer' PowerPoint Presentation. 6. Wine and 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.
