"A slipping gear could let your M203 grenade launcher fire when you least expect it. That would make you quite unpopular in what's left of your unit." (Army magazine of preventive maintenance) "Aim towards the Enemy." (Instruction printed on US Rocket Launcher) "When the pin is pulled, Mr. Grenade is not our friend. (U.S. Marine Corps) "Cluster bombing from B-52s are very, very accurate. The bombs are guaranteed to always hit the ground." (USAF Ammo Troop) "If the enemy is in range, so are you." (Infantry Journal) "It is generally inadvisable to eject directly over the area you just bombed." (U.S. Air Force Manual) "Whoever said the pen is mightier than the sword obviously never encountered automatic weapons." (General Macarthur) "Try to look unimportant; they may be low on ammo." (Infantry Journal) "You, you, and you -- panic. The rest of you, come with me." (U.S. Marine Corp Gunnery Sgt.) "Tracers work both ways." (U.S. Army Ordnance) "Five second fuses only last three seconds." (Infantry Journal) "Don't ever be the first, don't ever be the last, and don't ever volunteer to do anything." (U.S. Navy Swabbie) "Bravery is being the only one who knows you're afraid." (David Hackworth) "If your attack is going too well, you're walking into an ambush." (Infantry Journal) "No combat-ready unit has ever passed inspection." (Joe Gay) "Any ship can be a minesweeper. Once." "Never tell the Platoon Sergeant you have nothing to do." (Unknown Marine Recruit) "Don't draw fire; it irritates the people around you." "If you see a bomb technician running, follow him." (USAF Ammo Troop) "You've never been lost until you've been lost at Mach 3." (Paul F. Crickmore, test pilot) "The only time you have too much fuel is when you're on fire." "Without ammunition, the USAF would be just another expensive flying club." "Never trade luck for skill." "Airspeed, altitude and brains. Two are always needed to successfully complete the flight." "Mankind has a perfect record in aviation; we never left one up there!" "Flying the airplane is more important than radioing your plight to a person on the ground incapable of understanding or doing anything about it." "There is no reason to fly through a thunderstorm in peacetime." (sign over squadron ops desk at Davis-Monthan AFB, AZ, 1970) "If something hasn't broken on your helicopter, it's about to." "You know that your landing gear is up and locked when it takes full power to taxi to the terminal." As the test pilot climbs out of the experimental aircraft, having torn off the wings and tail in the crash landing, the crash truck arrives, the rescuer sees a bloodied pilot and asks "What happened?" The pilot's reply: "I don't know. I just got here myself!" (attributed to Ray Crandell, Lockheed test pilot) | ||
