Post subject: Great Military Directives/Quotes of the last Century

~S~ All
I recvd these in the form of an E-mail, some of them are pretty good.


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's 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

--------------------

"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

--------------------

"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

--------------------

"Don't draw fire; it irritates the people around you."
- Your Buddies

--------------------

"If you see a bomb technician running, follow him."
- USAF Ammo Troop

--------------------

"Though I Fly Through the Valley of Death ... I Shall Fear No Evil.
For I am at 80,000 F eet and Climbing"

- At the entrance to the old SR-71 operating base Kadena, Japan


--------------------

"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."

--------------------

"Blue water Navy truism: There are more planes in the ocean than
submarines in the sky."
- From an old carrier sailor

--------------------

"When one engine fails on a twin-engine airplane you always have enough
power left to get you to the scene of the crash."

--------------------

"Without ammunition, the USAF would be just another expensive flying
club."

--------------------

"What is the similarity between air traffic controllers and pilots?
If a pilot screws up, the pilot dies; If ATC screws up, .... the pilot
dies."

--------------------

The three most common exp ressions (or famous last words) in aviation
are:
"Why is it doing that?",
"Where are we?"
and "Oh Sh__!

--------------------

"A smooth landing is mostly luck; two in a row is all luck; three in a
row is prevarication."

--------------------

"Mankind has a perfect record in aviation; we never left one up there!"

--------------------

"Flashlights are tubular metal containers kept in a flight bag for the
purpose of storing dead batteries."

--------------------

"Flying the airplane is more important than radioing your plight to a
person on the ground incapable of understanding or doing anything about
it."

--------------------

Advice given to RAF pilots during WWII: "When a prang (crash) seems
inevitable, endeavor to strike the softest, cheapest object in the
vicinity as slowly and gently as possible."

--------------------

"The Piper Cub is the safest airplane in the world; it can just barely
kill you."
- Attributed to Max Stanley (Northrop test pilot)

--------------------

"If you're faced with a forced landing, fly the thing as far into the
crash as possible."
- Bob Hoover (renowned aerobatic and test pilot)

--------------------

"Never fly in the same cockpit with someone braver than you."

--------------------

"If something hasn't broken on your helicopter, it's about to."

--------------------

Basic Flying Rules: "Try to stay in the middle of the air. Do not go
near
the edges of it. The edges of the air can be recognized by the
appearance of ground, buildings, sea, trees and interstellar space. It
is much more difficult to fly there."

--------------------

"You know that your landing gear is up when it takes a lot more power
than
normal to taxi to the terminal."

--------------------

As the test pilot climbs out of the experimental aircraft, hav ing torn
off the wings and tail in the crash landing, the crash truck arrives and
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)
