This is kind of fun to read... 
Army
1. Bring a weapon (if possible at least two). Bring all 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 does not count. The only thing worse than a miss is a slow miss.
4. If your shooting stance is correct you are probably not moving fast enough and making poor use of cover.
5. Move away from your attacker. Distance is your friend (lateral and diagonal movement is preferred).
6. Watch their hands. Hands kill. (In God we trust; everyone else keep your hand where I can see them).
7. Be polite. Be professional. But have a plan to kill everyone you meet.
8. The faster you finish the fight, the less shot you will get.
9. Accuracy is relative: most combat shooting is more dependent on â Å“pucker factorâ ? than the inherent accuracy of the weapon.
10. Use a weapon that works every time. â Å“All skill is in vain when an Angel pisses in the flintlock of your musketâ ?.
11. Someday somebody will kill you with your own weapon, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.
12. Have a plan.
13. Have a back up plan because the first on won't work.
14. Your number one option for personal security is a lifelong commitment to avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation.
Air Force
1. Kiss the spouse good-bye.
2. Drive to the flight line.
3. Fly to the target area, drop off the Army, fly back.
4. Drop in at the club for a couple of beers with the guys.
Navy
1. Spend three weeks getting somewhere.
2. Adopt an aggressive offshore posture.
