Because all we hear is CSM wants that trash picked up." I said this a day after we were sent behind some buildings near the post fence (which was out in the woods) to pick up some trash...

Incoming Artillery ALWAYS has the right of way!
Prior Planning Prevents P*ss Poor Performance.
Don't shoot without a clear target: it draws fire and annoys the people around you.
Cautious and dead is worse than quick and damned. Meaning? Shoot first and ask questions later!

An enlighten Frenchman once said that "you must not say about your fortune to a person more unfortunate than you"... he was right.
Memento Mori ("Remember that you'll die" - eventually)...
Carpe Diem ("Live the Day" - live TODAY)...
