Some may already have seen this but I thought it was good!
Sgt. SIG
USMC Military Rules to live by:
1. Bring a weapon. Preferably bring at least two.
Bring all of your friends who have weapons. Bring
their friends who have weapons.
2. Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice.
Ammo is cheap. Life is expensive.
3. Only hits count. Close doesn't count. The only
thing worse than a miss is a slow miss.
4. If your shooting stance is good, you're probably
not moving fast enough, nor using cover correctly.
5. Move away from your attacker. Distance is your
friend. (Lateral and diagonal movement is preferred.)
6. If you can chose what to bring to a gunfight, bring
a big weapon and a friend with a big weapon.
7. In ten years nobody will remember the details of
caliber, stance, or tactics. They will only remember
who lived and who didn't.
8. If you are not shooting, you should be
communicating, reloading, and running.
9. Accuracy is relative: most combat shooting is more
dependent on"pucker factor" than the inherent accuracy
of the weapon.
10. Use a weapon that works EVERY TIME. "All skill is
in vain when an Angel pisses in the flintlock of your
musket."
11. Someday someone may kill you with your own weapon,
but they should have to beat you to death with it
because it is empty.
12. In combat, there are no rules, always cheat;
always win. The only unfair fight is the one you lose.
13. Have a plan.
14. Have a back-up plan because the first one won't
work. ("No plan survives first contact with the enemy")
15. Use cover or concealment as much as possible. The
visible target should be in FRONT of YOUR weapon.
16. Flank your adversary when possible. Protect yours.
17. Don't drop your guard.
18. Always tactical reload and threat scan 360
degrees.
19. Watch their hands. Hands kill. (In God we trust.
Everyone else, keep your hands where I can see them.)
20. Decide to be aggressive ENOUGH, quickly ENOUGH.
21. The faster you finish the fight, the less shot you
will get.
22. Be courteous to everyone, friendly to no one.
23. Be polite. Be professional. But have a plan to
kill everyone you meet.
24. Your number one Option for Personal Security is a
lifelong commitment to avoidance, deterrence, and
de-escalation.
25. Do not attend a gunfight with a handgun, the
caliber of which does not start with a ".4."
