Re: Field-craft myths.
1. You won't need shooting sticks.
2. We won't be out long enough to need water.
3. Don't need a compass, the GPS will work fine.
4. I don't need a data book, my PDA/iphone/nomad will give me my ballistic data.
5. It's not that far...

Re: Field-craft myths & screwup's
1. Sir, you may have the phone number for the Medevac, but shouldn't we bring the radios just in case?
2. SSG, what training is accomplished by doing area familiarization in an impact area?
3. Ahh, the entire battalion is here. Wait, what do you mean an entire company broke down on the autobahn?!?!
4. So you just issued expended ammo?
5. Water on a magnesium fire will show you a man's true intelligence.

4. Gear Queers thinking they will actually need/use all the shit they carry
5. PPE Nazi's... "WTF ARE THOSE?? WERE U FUCKING ISSUED OAKLEY?!!" (continue ass chewing over how issued gear is better than shit you buy, thus why you were issued it.... by a SNCO that goes out once a month)

2. No Sir, that butter bar right there gets respect, because he used to be one of us.
3. We only moved out 2 days ago, you can't be tired yet.
4. No that short timers stick, is in minutes.
5. Damn here comes my turtle, and what a pitiful specimen it is.

Re: Field-craft myths & screwup's
1. New CPL fresh from MCSF and no field time: "Don't worry about that shit, it isn't going to rain."
2. Remain Nameless: "This one should be quick and you'll be back to the ship in 30 days. This new OP is called Operation Enduring Freedom."
3. SgtMaj: "I don't care if you're in the middle of nowhere in Helmand, get a haircut."
4. Said to one of our teams: "This is going to be a quick 12hr raid so pack light." (Into E. Afg. mountains in winter, came back a month later.)
5. Motor-T Chief: "One spare tire per CAAT section is enough."
Laws of the field taught to me when I first got to the FMF:
Why run when you can walk.
Why walk when you can ride.
Why stand when you can sit.
Why sit when you can lay down.
Why be awake when you can be asleep.
Always bring money because you never know when you'll need it.
I don't care if you're in the middle of the desert in the summer, always be ready for it to turn cold and wet.

Follow that contour line & we'll ... crap, You go ahead & push the jeep SIR, I'm hiking back to base for a wrecker." Stuck in CenAm version of prairie mud ABOVE the lift shackles !!

Re: Field-craft myths & screwup's

2. Where did you learn to set a trip wire with fish hooks hanging from it, that's out standing.
3. Damn son, what did you do before the service, that line guiding trick, is slicker than snot. Makes for a damn quite enfil to the bush site.
4. I believe your one of those who fill your zippo with mogas.

Re: Field-craft myths & screwup's
1. Try to be smarter than Picture Frame wire and a mouse trap next time threw the course, Sir.
2. Just your std. issue from the Messhall, with a country boy twist.
3. It's called FU-gas for a reason General, we don't have issued Chasity belts to wear like the REMF's,... Sir.
4. I'm sure you "Can" read a map LT, problem is, that map is for V/N, which is not the dirt we are standing on.
5. Yes that 4 duce rd is heavy, but wait until you see what it does after being set off with a API rd.
