Come to think of it, I always thought the saying in the title was "If it moves salute it....

That's another version...peacetime. Just as good![:D]

Got any good DS lines? Like...

" You got a cat puke?"

"No SGT!"

"Well, just WTF have you been humping? Fur all over your uniform!"

Gives you some idea how Ron's navy works. [:'(][;)]

I always loved: "Team work is essential. It gives the enemy someone else to shoot at"[:D]

Murphys laws for the Grunt

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

- Incoming fire has the right of way.

- Automatic weapons . . . aren't.

- Suppressive fire . . . won't.

- Don't look conspicuous, it draws fire.

- There is always a way. When in doubt, empty the magazine.

- Teamwork is essential. It gives them someone else to shoot at.

- No combat ready unit ever passed inspection. No inspection ready unit ever

passed combat.

- The easy way is always mined.

- Beer maths: two beers times 37 men equals 49 cases.

- Things that must be together to work usually can't be shipped together.

- Radios will fail as soon as you need fire support desperately.

- Tracers work both ways.

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

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

- The enemy invariably attacks on two occasions:

(a) when you're ready for them and

(b) when you're not ready for them.

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

- The important things are always simple. The simple things are always hard.

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

- A "sucking chest wound" is nature's way of telling you to slow down.

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

- Never draw fire, it irritates everyone around you.

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

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

- Never share a foxhole with anyone braver than yourself.

- All 5-second grenade fuses will burn out in 3.

- If you're short of everything but the enemy, you're in a combat zone.

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

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

- If you take more than your fair share of objectives, you will have more than your

fair share of objectives to take.

- When both sides are convinced that they are about to lose, they are both right.



- Murphy was a grunt.

Canadian navy? Umm...no. [8|][;)]

Most sayings we had involved the F word, more like every other word.

When I was in the service I was able to take a tour of a Canadian ship and to my surprise they actually had a bar onboard well suffice it to say it would have been very rude of me to turn down any offers of alcoholic beverages. If they had asked I would have signed up on the spot.[:D]

The Chief is given a new weapon system to try out and reports to the Ensign that it's a pile of Bull Shit.
The Ensign reports to the Lieutenant that the new weapon system is manure.
The LT reports to the Commander that the new system is like fertilizer but has potential for growth.
The Commander reports to the Captain that the system is growing better all the time.
The Captain reports to the Admiral that the new weapon system has grown beyond all expectations and should be bought.
The Admiral buys the POS.
 

When I was in the Navy, we were often sent to Air Force bases for RR when we were deployed overseas. We had a saying that the Air Force, when building a new base, built the Club, barracks and golf course first and would run out of money before building the runway. Congress would have to give them more money to complete the runway or the base would be useless. The Navy on the other hand would build the runway first and when they ran out of money for the club, barracks, and golf course we were told we could make do. 

Hey Ron;

Shouldn't that sign be in French too?

goat locker
In navy jargon, the goat locker is a lounge, sleeping area, and galley onboard a naval vessel which is reserved for the exclusive use of Chief Petty Officers. By tradition, all other personnel, including officers and even the Commanding Officer, must request permission to enter the goat locker.

The term takes its name from the slang term "old goat," and is a recognition that CPOs are generally the oldest individuals aboard a navy ship.

In early sailing years, there was no refrigeration available so livestock would travel on ships, providing the crew fresh milk and eggs. To keep the supply of milk safe and available, the goat was kept in the Chief Petty Officers quarters. This is believed to be the source of the old Navy term, "Goat Locker."

I thought this was called the "Luv Shack" - or so my uncle once told me. Of course my uncle was a jarhead... <grin>

Hahahahahaha, a good one.[:D]
