Gunfights are like sex.
The first time will be over quick, and you won't be very good. If you get a second chance at it, you'll get better. I did my time, got a CAR in the corps, and am now a nurse. I'm still in shape, but a TNCC, ACLS and PALS certified RN shouldn't be kicking doors....... |

It's better to be a warrior in a garden then a Gardner in a war. I'm not sure how this applies other than don't bring a hoe to a gunfight. |

When my brother was in the 82nd Air Borne, he told me if I ever get drafted and get sent into combat, to:
Find the Master Sargent with the most combat experience, and do exactly what he does. Ignore orders to do anything other than what he is doing. 
That's all I have. |

Who wants scabby cheeks that would only then bleed onto your gunstock? |

Hey, I never served, wish I could have, but circumstances conspired against me.
But, my grandfather served in WWII and Korea, 1st Cav Div. And my father served 4 tours in Vietnam, 82nd AB/101st AB scout/recon then ended his career as a Drill Sergeant. They made damn sure I was well versed in strategy, tactics, and combat. And I continue to learn on my own. Lessons learned: Never give up, keep fighting, you'll get all the rest you'll need when you're dead. 
RIP papaw and dad, thanks. |
