10. Make sure the base is as far as possible from the conflict, but close enough to have tax exemption. 11 Always have ICE CREAM .. ........................ ???? Come back to Daddy, you know, the USAAF, we’ll teach ya how to use naughty language properly, and when you have to go to the tropical climate you will appreciate ice cream in mermite cans. Its great for cooling your boots.

Great thread.
Proud to be a squid.
I retired from the Air Force in 1971 with 21 years of active duty. I have been receiving my retired pay check for 46 years. That means I have been on the USAF payroll for a total of 67 years and counting. Crunch your figures and enjoy bragging rights.
US Army Ordnance Corps guidelines: (based on my brief experience)
1. Fix all the toys the infantry, armor, and artillery break and send them on their way.
2. If every repair job is high priority, no job is high priority.
3. You might get yelled at for going over your budget but you’ll get court martialed for not fixing everything.
4. Your mechanics are smarter than you are. The lieutenants are expendable, the radar repair tech is not.
5. Your unit has no defensive ability.
6. Deploying in the woods will only draw attention to your unit.
Those are Bill Jordan’s rules of gun fighting. IIRC, they are in his book.
Worth a bookmark~!
Lol lol lol!! Go Navy!!!
