Here is a little list of Laws that I came across today. I thought that maybe they may be of use to us. Read up guys and Hold the line!!!

Murphy's Laws of Combat

1. If the enemy is in range, so are you.

2. Incoming fire has the right of way.

3. Don't look conspicuous, it draws fire.

4. There is always a way.

5. The easy way is always mined.

6. Try to look unimportant, they may be low on ammo.

7. Professionals are predictable, it's the amateurs that are

dangerous.

8. The enemy invariably attacks on two occasions:

a. When you're ready for them.

b. When you're not ready for them.

9. Teamwork is essential, it gives them someone else to shoot at.

10. If you can't remember, the claymore is pointed at you.

11. The enemy diversion you have been ignoring will be the main

attack.

12. A "sucking chest wound" is natures way of telling you to slow

down.

13. If your attack is going well, you have walked into an ambush.

14. Never draw fire, it irritates everyone around you.

15. Anything you do can get you shot, including nothing.

16. Make it tough enough for the enemy to get in and you won't be

able to get out.

17. Never share a foxhole with anyone braver than yourself.

18. If you are short of everything but the enemy, you are in a

combat zone.

19. When you have secured an area, don't forget to tell the enemy.

20. Never forget that your weapon is made by the lowest bidder.

21. Friendly Fire Isn't.

Murphy's Laws of Combat

1. If the enemy is in range, so are you. they you should be killing them.

2. Incoming fire has the right of way, so move out of its path

3. Don't look conspicuous, it draws fire. If acting suspicious always be ready to shoot first

4. There is always a way, if there is not use C4 and make one.

5. The easy way is always mined, and if its not odds are there is a sniper somewhere close

6. Try to look unimportant, they may be low on ammo. If this does not work use someone else as a meat shield.

7. Professionals are predictable, it's the amateurs that are dangerous.

8. The enemy invariably attacks on two occasions:

a. When you're ready for them.

b. When you're not ready for them.

9. Teamwork is essential, it gives them someone else to shoot at.

10. If you can't remember, the claymore is pointed at you.

11. The enemy diversion you have been ignoring will be the main attack.

12. A "sucking chest wound" is natures way of telling you to slow down.

13. If your attack is going well, you have walked into an ambush.check your six Lt.Col.Parker likes using shovels

14. Never draw fire, it irritates everyone around you. unless those around you are the enemy

15. Anything you do can get you shot, including nothing.

16. Make it tough enough for the enemy to get in and you won't be able to get out. When this happens, ensure you have lots of nades

17. Never share a foxhole with anyone braver than yourself.

18. If you are short of everything but the enemy, you are in a combat zone.

19. When you have secured an area, don't forget to tell the enemy that there is free milk and cookies if they come in unarmed then shoot them dead

20. Never forget that your weapon is made by the lowest bidder. So always pick up a spare off your dead comrades bodies

21. Friendly Fire Isn't. Unless its done with love, or on Chef Gumby/x[Tex]/Ultranator/Reis

Don't forget:

The most dangerous thing in the world is a Lieutenant with a map and an idea.

No plan ever survives first contact with the enemy.

5 Second Fuses only last 3 seconds.

If the enemy seems to be retreating, it means they are regrouping

No combat ready unit has ever passed inspection

No inspection ready unit has ever passed combat.

Things that work together, are never shipped that way.

Radios fail as soon as you need fire support.

There are more...

      jelly3384's application for Enlistment Form Questions Name you wish to use and Age: (Our unit uses realistic names, this does not have to be your real name) Pigeon, 16 Platform Type Epic Games Store Steam ID (Use 17 Digit SteamID 64 / PC Game Pass Account Username): Pigeon_theft   Do you have a microphone? Yes   Which game title are you applying for? Hell Let Loose   If you've selected Hell Let Loose, do you understand that this game is currently not cross platform capable and only PC players currently may apply? ( Steam or PC Game Pass) Yes   Why do you wish to join the 1st Marine Raiders? I've played BFV and milsimed in it, and it was a lot more fun when I milsimed. and I enjoy playing HLL, so I think it is going to be more fun when I join.   Did any of our current members play a part in you enlisting? If so, who? If none, how did you learn about us: I found you guys from a website called disboard when looking for HLL milsim groups to join.   This unit offers more than just a place to play games with each other, do you have any online skills you think would be useful? no   Do you have any Leadership experience that you think will be helpful? I'm not sure if it will be helpfull,but I used to be in BFV milsim groups and in my last one I got to [E-7] out of [E-1] to [O-8], so I was a NCO and I helped the officers with whatever they needed doing, weather it was assisting with training, settling disputes or helping them decide what was appropriate disciplinary action. And when we were in combat I was usually assigned to lead my own squad.   Have you ever been in a realism unit before, and if so, which unit was it? yes. I was in quite a few BFV milsim groups, although I was only in one at any given time. unfortunately, I have left the discord servers and I do not remember the names of them. if you would like, I could probably give a reference to someone who was an officer in most of the groups I was in.   By posting this Enlistment form, I acknowledge the instructions completely, declare that I am 16 years old or older, and agree that I have and will follow server and unit rules maturely and respectfully or face immediate rejection. Yes   Application stats UserId: 943213736024498227 Username: jelly3384 User: @Rec. J. Buford Duration: 1131 seconds Joined guild at: a day ago
