    Some Military Humour (Mostly True)

    Marine Corps Rules:
    01. Be courteous to everyone, friendly to no one.
    02. Decide to be aggressive enough, quickly enough.
    03. Have a plan.
    04. Have a back-up plan, because the first one probably won’t work.

    07. Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice. Ammo is cheap. Life is expensive.

    05. Request more funding from Congress with a “killer” Power Point presentation.
    06. Wine & dine ‘‘key’ Congressmen, invite DOD and defense industry executives.
    07. Receive funding, set up new command and assemble assets.

    09. Hurry to make 13:45 tee-time.
