Marine Corps 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. 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 and diagonal preferred.) 9. Use cover or concealment as much as possible. 10.

Dont worry about all the pretty ladies you are leaving behind. Us COASTIES will keep a close eye on all of them for ya !!
“You sure that’s about Marines and not cops?”
Well, where do you think many cops come from?
It must be weird not having to get permission to shoot someone who is pointing a gun at you...
Coast Guard Rules Shipboard.
1. Deploy at least 189 days per year.
2. Heave out and trice up, soup of the day: Coffee.
3. Stand 4 on 8 off, 5 on 10 off, or other configurations of watch scheduling per to Old Man.
4. Thoroughly clean (a clean ship is a happy ship) until the noon meal unless standing watch.
5. Noon meal. Curse the administration department who are always at the head of the line (after oncoming watch). Off going watch eats the scraps...
6. Immediately after quarters, drill, drill, and drill some more.
7. Sweepers
8. Evening meal
9. Watches
10 Relax, practical factors, a movie, read, cards, laundry.
11. 2200 lights out (unless standing watches)
12. Mid rats (desiccated left overs), observe the ward room JO’s scavenge (for free) whatever remains after the mid watch eats. IF the cooks are experienced they will have timed and portioned just enough so the JO’s eat hyper desiccated scraps of military issue raviolis, stale white bread, and greasy canned green beans.
13. Repeat, unless special ops evolutions take place at any hour day or night.

Where do you think most cops come from?
Hmmm.
I’m retired AF (28 years) and I LOVE that one!! LMAO!!
What a sad state my Air Force has entered. We never had ice cream. Pansies.
That's a DoD rule.
The way I understood Marine Rule #13 was if you are not shooting, you should be moving and/or communicating.
If you give the command "SECURE THE BUILDING", here is what the different services would do:
The NAVY would turn out the lights and lock the doors.
The ARMY would surround the building with defensive fortifications, tanks and concertina wire.
The MARINE CORPS would assault the building, using overlapping fields of fire from all appropriate points on the perimeter.
The AIR FORCE would take out a three-year lease with an option to buy the building.
