Laws of Combat

Attribution: lost
I found this in the hall where I work. I do not know its source, but the sheet had been through several faxes, copiers, etc.

MURHPY'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, then 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 nature's 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're short of everything but the enemy, you're 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.

Translation...this is your average HP71 Hewlett Packard computer...
Why are things so complicated sometimes. Pointless labels for worthless meanings on simple objectives, in a world of chaos why do we add to the confusion and call it a computer.
anyways, lost at sea again, only not so lost, just cruising the carribean, listening to steel drums, and drinking fresh coconut milk on the beaches. Things are going quite dandy. I have come to some serious conclusions on life down here by meeting some extraordinary people, those single serving friends you meet by chance for only one night. But these ones had major impacts on my life to date....
Oh sweet beauty, wonderul eye openers, and path crossing perfection. The alignment was exact and thus the connection to everything I felt was out here was made.
Life's randomness can be so great, especially when you start to lose hope after almost two years of searching for something to new to experience. A one night conversation that started a revolution that helped get me on track again...a new hope...
Anyways, good stories to come...though lack of bandwidth, and random sailors waiting for this here computer, i must not be greedy and share. but one last comment mostly or el capitan...The weird get weirder my friend, and remember the moments of creativity and the moments of insanity, that is the backbone of freakship, and the fuel for exotic life...and just when you can't take the downs or the lack of self expression. The cosmos align, maybe only for a brief moment, but its those moments that you will remember, the ones that keep you searching.
But, keep the glory going that has become FREAKSHIP!!!
