Recoilles rifles- aren't.

You are not Superman- Marines and fighter pilots take notice.

If it's stupid, but it works, it isn't stupid.

Never forget you're weapon was made by the lowest bidder.

Don’t look conspicuous; it draws fire. For this reason, it is not at all uncommon
for aircraft carriers to be known as bomb magnets.

If you are short of everything but the enemy, you are in the combat zone.

When you have secured the area, make sure the enemy knows it too.

The only thing more accurate than incoming enemy fire is incoming friendly fire.

Things which must be shipped together as a set, aren’t.

Things that must work together, can’t be carried to the field that way.

Radios will fail as soon as you need fire support.

Radar tends to fail at night and in bad weather, and especially during both.

Anything you do can get you killed, including nothing.

Make it too tough for the enemy to get in, and you won’t be able to get out.

If you take more than your fair share of objectives, you will get more than
your fair share of objectives to take.

When both sides are convinced they’re about to lose, they’re both right.

Professional soldiers are predictable; the world is full of dangerous amateurs.

Military Intelligence is a contradiction.

Fortify your front; you’ll get your rear shot up.

Weather ain’t neutral.

The Cavalry doesn’t always come to the rescue.

Napalm is an area support weapon.

Mines are equal opportunity weapons.

B-52s are the ultimate close support weapon.

Killing for peace is like screwing for virginity.

The one item you need is always in short supply

It’s not the one with your name on it; it’s the one addressed "to whom
it may concern" you’ve got to think about.

When in doubt, empty your magazine.

The side with the simplest uniforms wins.

Combat will occur on the ground between two adjoining maps.

If you can keep your head while those around you are losing theirs, you may
have misjudged the situation.

If you really need an officer in a hurry, take a nap.

There is nothing more satisfying than having someone take a shot at you, and
miss.

You’ll only remember your hand grenades when the sound is too close to use them.

So he said, "Cheer up: it could be worse!" So we cheered up. And it
got worse.

The spare batteries for the PRC-whatever your troops have been carrying are
either nearly dead or for the wrong radio.

The ping you heard was the antenna snapping off at 6 inches above the flexmount,
while a fire mission was being called in on a battalion of hostiles who know
your position.

Why is it the CO sticks his head in your radio hooch to see if anything has
come down from DIV when you are listening to the VOA broadcasting the baseball
games?

How come you are on one frequency when everyone else is on another?

Why does your 500-watt VRC-26 (real old) not make it across 200 miles while
a ham with 50 watts on the same MARS frequency can be heard from Stateside?

Know why short RTOs have long whips on their radios? So someone can find them
when they step in deep water.

Field experience is something you don’t get until just after you need it.

If your ambush is properly set the enemy won’t walk into it.

The only time you have too much fuel loaded is when your aircraft is on fire.
