Military Rules

Royal Marine 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, even your friends
6. Do not attend a gunfight with a handgun whose calibre 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. In ten years nobody will remember the details of calibre, stance, or tactics. They will only remember who lived.
12. 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.

1. Curse bitterly when receiving operational order.
2. Make sure there is extra ammo and extra coffee.
3. Curse bitterly.

6. Curse bitterly.

RAF Rules:
1. Have a cocktail.
2. Adjust temperature on air-conditioner.
3. See what’s on Sky.
4. Ask "what is a gunfight?"
5. Request more funding from Government with a "killer" Power Point presentation.
6. Wine & dine ’key’ MPs invite MOD & defence 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 tea-time.
10. Make sure the base is as far as possible from the conflict but close enough to have tax exemption.

RN Rules:
1. Go to Sea.
2. Drink Beer.
3. Deploy Marines.
4. Travel World.#

Ha!

Awesome

Thanks. That was a good laugh.

If your attack plan is going well, it's an ambush.

Never interrupt your enemy while they are making mistakes

Cover & concealment are not the same thing

If the enemy is in range, so are you.

Friendly fire, isn't.

The most dangerous object in the Company is a 2nd Lieutenant with a map and compass.

All I will say is this.

The Brits now how to go to War.

When I was at LNK back in 2012-13, everyone loved going to Camp Bastion.

They had the best coffee. They had magazines with naked boobies on them.

They had volleyball games with guys and girls, and the girls were wearing bras and panties.

For us Marines from across the LNK "DMZ', this was heaven.

I will always say, the Brits know how to go to war
