	    Sarge's Rules For How To Stay Alive In Vietnam


	"Great thing about the military: even though you know that
	they know that nobody knows what the hell they're doing,
	everybody pretends that that ain't so."   [Sarge Pepper]


	Rule #1:  Try to look unimportant. They might be low on ammo.

	Rule #2:  All five-second grenade fuses are three seconds.

	Rule #3:  Never share a foxhole with anyone who is braver than
	          you are.

	Rule #4:  Friendly fire...isn't.

	Rule #5:  Remember that all your equipment was made by the lowest
	          bidder.

	Rule #6:  When you've secured an area, don't forget to tell the
	          enemy. They may have other plans.

	Rule #7:  Anything you do can get you shot, including doing nothing.

	Rule #8:  Teamwork is essential. It gives them other people to
	          shoot at.

	Rule #9:  Expect the unexpected, but remember you can't depend
                  on it.

	Rule #10: You are not Superman, but sometimes imagining that you
                  are is the only thing that saves you. On the other hand,
                  it can also kill you.

	Rule #11: Do what you have to do.
