Subject: Military Warnings (?)

Some of these are as silly as the instructions during WWII on how to use a hammer .
-----------------------------

"Aim towards the Enemy." -Instruction printed on US Rocket Launcher

"When the pin is pulled, Mr. Grenade is not our friend. -U.S. Marine Corps

"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." --David Hackworth

"If your attack is going too well, you're 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 Marine Recruit

"Don't draw fire; it irritates the people around you." -Your Buddies

(My favorite)
"If you see a bomb technician running, try to keep up with him." -U.S.A.F. Ammo Troop

Most of those and a whole bunch more comprise "Murphys Laws of Combat Operations".lol derf

MY PERSONAL FAVORITE IS,
"NEVER SHARE A FOXHOLE WITH ANYONE BRAVER THAN YOU ARE"

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

No inspection-ready unit has ever passed combat LOL
