Pearls of wisdom, whatever you call them. Let's share some. I'll start by posting something I found out this past weekend: Don't fart in a rubber suit. I was wearing rubber waders and it kind of lingered. Also, the 2 rules of holes: 1) If you're already in a hole, stop digging 2) If you're in too deep to get out, keep digging. What wisdom do you all have to add? MJD |

Aim towards the enemy. When the pin is pulled, Mr. Grenade is no longer our friend. Carpet bombing from B-52s (Arc Light) is very VERY accurate. The bombs are guaranteed to always hit the ground. If the enemy is in range...so are you. A slipping gear could let your M203 grenade launcher fire when you least expect it. That would make you a very unpopular with what's left of your unit. It is generally inadvisible to bail out over an area that you have just bombed. Try to look unimportant; the enemy may be low on ammo. Tracers work both ways. Five second grenade fuses always last three seconds. If your attack is going too well, your walking into an ambush. No combat unit has ever passed inspection. Any ship can be a minesweeper...once. Never tell the platoon sergeant you have nothing to do. Never draw fire...it irritates the people around you. If you see the EOD guy running...do your best to stay up with him. |
