Marine Corps Rules for Gun Fighting

18. Watch their hands. Hands kill. In God we trust. Everyone else, keep your hands where I can see them.

20. The faster you finish the fight, the less shot you will get.

24. Do not attend a gunfight with a handgun, the caliber of which does not start with a "4."

Navy Rules for Gun fighting:
1. Go to Sea
2. Send the Marines
3. Drink Coffee

These are some of my favorites to be sure. Your list reminds me of something else that seems to be a creed for Marines.

I had a friend that joined and when he returned from boot he was not the same man. He told me that among many other things they were told, "U.S. Marines are not allowed to die without premission; And you do not have permission to die!" If you die without permission you will be in a world of S***

I always found the above statement to be funny in an odd morbid way..
