    why marines are better than the other services.....

    this was just emailed to me, i thought it was funny. if anybody is to wussy enough to take it as a joke, ill take it down, but maybe i can spark a nice controversy



    US Marine Corps Rules For Gunfighting

    1. Be courteous to everyone, friendly to no one.
    2. 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 and professional, but have a plan to kill everyone you meet.
    6. Do not attend a gunfight with a handgun whose caliber does not
    start with a number above 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
    and diagonal movement are 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.
    12. In 10 years nobody will remember the details of caliber,
    stance, or tactics. They will only remember who lived.
    13. If you are not shooting, you should be communicating and
    reloading.
    14. Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they
    should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.
    15. When in doubt, fix bayonets, empty the magazine, throw all
    your grenades, and charge.
    16. When in grave doubt, ask the Gunny for advice, which will be
    to charge faster while shouting graphic descriptions to the enemy of
    what you are about to do to him.
    Example: "I am going to kill you, *****! I am going to kill you
    slow!
    I am going to skin you and build a kayak out of your ribcage, rip your head off and **** down your neck!!
    17. And above all ... don't drop your guard.

    US Navy Rules For Gunfighting

    1. Go to sea.
    2. Drink coffee.
    3. Send in the Marines.

    US Army Rules For Gunfighting

    1. Select a new beret to wear.
    2. Sew combat patch on right shoulder.
    3. Reconsider the color of beret you decide to wear.
    4. Make a movie about a female soldier who forgot to fire her
    weapon in defense of her unit.
    5. Send in the Marines.

    US Air Force Rules For Gunfighting

    1. Have a cocktail.
    2. Adjust temperature on air-conditioner.
    3. Determine what is a gunfight.
    4. Send in the Marines.

            Welcome back DevilDog....

            I choose to rank the services by other criteria... (evaluation is based on extensive personal research at DLI in Monterey, CA)

            1) Air Force - cool, freaky, lots of piercings, open minded activities.
            2) Army - damn good runner up, especially rodeo activities.
            3) Navy - big caboose; ride a wave if the surf is calm.
            4) Marines - you got to be kidding; how do you distinguish them?

            For those who are still in, you have to go to DLI. Do your self a favor though and take something like Spanish or Portuguese - Best 6 months I've ever spent and the place where I got my first Article 15.

              You know...I wonder why no one has put the 5th branch on any of these lists? Aren't we forgetting one...?

              Okay, here's a hint: Semper Paratus!!!

                  You're right... I would put the Coast Guard first as a branch. Their job is every day, 365, 24 x7... saving lives, drug ops...

                  The rest train and wait for war... even though it comes more often now.

                      Well, I, for one, take offense to this.


















                      Heh, just kidding. Pretty funny stuff though. Gotta love the professional rivalries.

                        lol, instead of ranger, you should put green beret, it seems everybody and their brother are a ranger these days......

                        yeah, the rivalries are more tradition than anything, plus, getting into fist fights with the other services at the bars is soooo much fun.

                            You would actualy be suprised how many non-Rangers are in the Infantry. I wish we had more!

                            The rivalries are fun...ain't they. When I was on the U.S.Army Drill Team, we used to scrap with the Marines in D.C. all the time. We usually all wound up at another bar drinking together and nursing our wounds

                              This is one my dad used to tell me.

                              Navy vs. Marine

                              In a barfight the Marine will "put up his dukes" ready to fight. Sailor boy grabs a chair (or table..whichever is readily available), smashes it into marine...then runs for his life hoping marine doesn't wake up for a little while.
