Leathernecks provide every opportunity for the enemy to die for his country! :devil:

And to be fair to Skooter, the Navy isn't all that bad either. I mean hey, they are nice enough to give us a ride whenever we need to go kick some ass.

:dwarf:

He's old school Marine (Vietnam Era). As he puts it, when they actually taught you how to fight, and the DS made sure of it.

And being old school the don't ask/don't tell applies

Yeah, they're a department of the Navy.

The men's department....

Seen this one?

Marine Rules for gun fighting

1. Bring a gun. Preferably, bring at least two guns. Bring all of your friends who have guns.

2. Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice. Ammo is cheap. Life is expensive.

3. Only hits count. The only thing worse than a miss is a slow miss.

4. If your shooting stance is good, you’re probably not moving fast enough nor using cover correctly.

5. Move away from your attacker. Distance is your friend. (Lateral and diagonal movement are preferred.)

6. If you can choose what to bring to a gunfight, bring a long gun and a friend with a long gun.

7. In ten years nobody will remember the details of caliber, stance, or tactics. They will only remember who lived.

8. If you are not shooting, you should be communicating, reloading, and running.

9. Accuracy is relative: most combat shooting standards will be more dependent on “pucker factor” than the inherent accuracy of the gun.

10. Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.

11. Always cheat; always win. The only unfair fight is the one you lose.

12. Have a plan.

13. Have a back-up plan, because the first one won’t work.

14. Use cover or concealment as much as possible.

15. Flank your adversary when possible. Protect yours.

16. Don’t drop your guard.

17. Always tactical load and threat scan 360 degrees.

18. Watch their hands. Hands kill. In God we trust. Everyone else, keep your hands where I can see them.

19. Decide to be aggressive ENOUGH, quickly ENOUGH.

20. The faster you finish the fight, the less shot you will get.

21. Be polite. Be professional. But, have a plan to kill everyone you meet.

22. Be courteous to everyone, friendly to no one.

23. Your number one option for personal security is a lifelong commitment to avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation.

24. Do not attend a gunfight with a handgun, the caliber of which does not start with a “4.”

Navy rules for gun fighting

1. Go to sea.

2. Drink coffee.

HA! I love it. Perhaps I'm a little biased though. :dntknw:

 

[JimLor]

Old school has its own charm, but I gotta tell you that the Marines of today are much better trained then we ever were! Just fact. Nobody else in this world would I trust to cover my 6. Word. Semper Fi!

I look a whole lot better in my Army Blues!

A quick question: Marine Corps Blues have a red stripe that represents the blood spilled. Why do Army Blues have a yellow stripe? To paraphrase GunMD, "I'm just askin'" :grin:

LMAO! I guess it's better than a brown stripe, eh???

Damn. I always thought the red stripe represented spilling someone else's blood.

Mike,

an old school grunt

I used to give the jarheads a terrible time when I trained with them. Insults flying back and forth. But you know what? I would and have trusted them with my life (well the Force Recon guys anyway) just as they trusted me with theirs. When the crap starts flying it don't matter what branch of the service you happen to be in, everyone becomes a brother.

The red stripe supposedly came about after the battle at Chapultapec where most of the officers and NCOs were killed or wounded. At least that's what they taught me at brainwashing camp... er, I mean boot camp.

Semper Fi!
