Teamwork is essential, it gives them someone else to shoot at. 5. A "sucking chest wound" is nature's way of telling you to slow down. 6. If your attack is going well, you have walked into an ambush. 7. Never draw fire, it irritates everyone around you. 8. If you're short of everything but the enemy, you're in a combat zone. 9. Never forget that your weapon is made by the lowest bidder. 10. Friendly fire - isn't. 11. Recoilless rifles - aren't. 12. Suppressive fires - won't. 13. If at first you don't succeed, call in an Hotdrop. 14. Never go to bed with anyone crazier than yourself. This applies to all areas of life! 15. Sniper's motto: reach out and touch someone. 16. Tracers work BOTH ways. 17. The easy way is always camped. (especially HED-GP)
