"Rules for UK Armed Forces

Royal Marine Rules:

1.. Be courteous to everyone, friendly to no one.

2.. Decide to 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. Be professional. But, have a plan to kill everyone you meet, even your friends

6.. Do not attend a gunfight with a handgun whose calibre does not start with a “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 & Diagonal 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. In ten years nobody will remember the details of calibre, stance, or tactics. They will only remember who lived.

12. If you are not shooting, you should be communicating your intention to shoot.

IM BIG IN JAPAN

There are a number of military blogs being written from Japan that are covering the earthquake and subsequent tsunami.  The newest military blog is written by an airman stationed at Misawa AB in Japan who goes by the name of Scotty D on his blog: I’m big in Japan . Scotty D started the blog in early February after arriving in Japan.  He has been providing updates on the aftermath of the earthquake.  In his latest update, Scotty D is headed to Ofunato to help out.  However, updates may be far and few between.  As Scotty D writes, “It looks like I will be there for a few days so I may not be able to update since electricity and cell coverage is not so good down there.” Enter Blog HERE
