For all you military people out there...

Post by redlava »

Here are some warnings to take to heart.Genuine warnings written on military equipment and publications:"Aim towards the Enemy." -Instruction printed on US Rocket Launcher"When the pin is pulled, Mr. Grenade is not our friend." -U.S. Army"Cluster bombing from B-52s is very, very accurate. The bombs are guaranteed to always hit the ground." U.S.A.F. Ammo Troop "If the enemy is in range, so are you." -Infantry Journal"A slipping gear could let your M203 grenade launcher fire when you least expect it. That would make you quite unpopular in what's left of your unit." -Army's magazine of preventive maintenance."It is generally inadvisable to eject directly over the area you just bombed." -U.S. Air Force Manual."Try to look unimportant; they may be low on ammo." -Infantry Journal"Tracers work both ways." -U.S. Army Ordnance "Five-second fuses only last three seconds." -Infantry Journal"Bravery is being the only one who knows you're afraid." --Col. David Hackworth"If your attack is going too well, you're probably walking into an ambush." -Infantry Journal"No combat-ready unit has ever passed inspection." -Joe Gay"Any ship can be a minesweeper ... once." -Anon"Never tell the Platoon Sergeant you have nothing to do." -Unknown Army Recruit"Don't draw fire; it irritates the people around you." -Unknown"If you see a bomb technician running, try to keep up with him." -U.S.A. Ammo Troop . .

I like this one:"If you see a bomb technician running, try to keep up with him." -U.S.A. Ammo Troop

One I like that was supposed to be from John Wayne in "Sands of Iwo Jima" (although he doesn't really say it in the movie) is:"Life is tough, but it's tougher if you're stupid"

My personal favorite... "A slipping gear could let your M203 grenade launcher fire when you least expect it. That would make you quite unpopular in what's left of your unit." -Army's magazine of preventive maintenance.That's assuming YOU live to tell about it. LOL

There is another one printed on a Claymore Mine"Do not eat"
