MARINE CORPS RULES OF ENGAGEMENT



I wouldn't know if any of these rules are close to true or not.

The Rules of Engagement

By Silver Shield, on April 28th, 2011
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. 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..
US Army Rules: 
1.  Curse bitterly when receiving operational order.
2.  Make sure there is extra ammo and extra coffee.
3.  Curse bitterly.
4.  Curse bitterly.
5.  Do not listen to 2nd LTs; it can get you killed.
6.  Curse bitterly.
US Air Force Rules: 
1.  Have a cocktail.
2.  Adjust temperature on air-conditioner.
3.  See what's on HBO.
4.  Ask 'What is a gunfight?'
5.  Request more funding from Congress with a 'killer' Power Point presentation.
6.  Wine and dine  "key' Congressmen, invite DOD and defense industry executives.
7.  Receive funding, set up new command and assemble assets.
8.   Declare the assets 'strategic' and never deploy them operationally.
9.   Hurry to make 13:45 tee-time.10. Make sure the base is as far as possible from the conflict, but close enough to have tax exemption.
US Navy Rules: 
1. Go to Sea.
2. Drink Coffee.
3. Deploy Marines

Giants Top Minor League Prospects

  • 1. Kyle Crick 6-4,220 RHP Power pitcher in the Matt Cain mold. High K-rate comes with High BB-rate. Low 90's FB with sink. Can be a top of the rotation starter once command/control issues ironed out. Mechanics are sound.
  • 2. Gary Brown 6-1,190 CF has plus speed, considered a lead-off hitter who can be a force at the top of the lineup. Defense is a plus. Potential Gold-Glove-type. His arm is acceptable. A gap-to-gap hitter with little pop. Plate discipline and contact need to improve.
  • 3. Chris Stratton 6-3, 185 RHP Mississippi State Decent four-pitch mix, solid pitching frame. Can run FB to 94 MPH with movement. Throws SL/CB, with the slider the better of the two.
  • 4. Clayton Blackburn 6-3, 220 RHP Good low 90's FB with sink, excellent command of stuff, good secondary pitches. His 8.64 K/BB ratio is off the charts efficient.
  • 5. Joe Panik SS/2B Has shown well with the bat and can play SS if Crawford wilts or 2B if Sanchez stays on the DL too long.
  • 6. Heath Hembree 6-4,210 RHP from Coastal Carolina with 98MPH FB, has closer stuff, secondary pitches may need more work. Could rise fast.
  • 7. Francisco Peguero 6-0, 175 OF solid hitter, needs more plate discipline to advance (3% BB-Rate), his speed is near off the charts. Not projected as power hitter.
  • 8. Mike Kickham 6-4, 205 LHP Missouri State grad. Live arm, needs to be more consistent with control. His K/9 is good at 8+ and stats are steady if unspectacular across the board. BB/9 is close to 4.0, when that drops, he becomes much more efficient.
  • 9. Andrew Susac 6-2, 210 C 2011 2nd rounder good eye, K-rate is a bit high. Has decent power and solid glove.
  • _10. Aldaberto Mejia 6-3,195 LHP Throws strikes and mixes pitches well. Good secondary stuff, projects as middle rotation guy. Keeps ball down and gets outs.

  • _23. E.J. Encinosa 6-5, 225 RHP U of Miami product.

  • _25. Jake Dunning 6-4, 188 RHP Indiana grad. Converted INF, has a power arm with good command. Could rise fast, but at 24 he needs to show or go, 3.44 K/BB will give him a longer look.
  • _26. Jacob Dunnington 6-2, 160 RHP High K-Rate 12.3 K/9 offset by equally high BB-Rate 5.2 BB/9. Something has to give for him to move higher. The stuff is there.
  • _27. Chris Marlowe 6-0, 175 RHP Oklahoma State product, His stuff is good, if he can locate the plate consistently 6.2 BB/9.
  • _28. Chuckie Jones 6-3, 225 OF Potential five-tool prospect. Super athletic with good eye. Need to cut down on his K's.
