Marine, Navy, Army, & Air Force Rules for Gunfighting and Other Great Stuff

“We don’t grow little boys and girls to be Marines. These are great Americans before we get them. We’re just giving them the opportunity to do extraordinary things.” Sgt. Maj. Alford L. McMichael, US Marine Corps

having said that, this was shamelessly lifted from cassandra’s blog – it’s fun!

US Marine Corps Rules for Gunfighting

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.
6. Do not attend a gunfight with a handgun whose caliber 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.
12. In ten years nobody will remember the details of caliber, stance, or tactics. They will only remember who lived.
13. If you are not shooting, you should be communicating your intention to shoot.

    Laughing here. As an old Army guy, I have to admit the whole Beret kerfuffle is a butt pinch. Thanks for your good reporting on this charity. Our Marines are the best in the world, next to our Army.
