U.S. Marine Corps Rules:

1. Be courteous to everyone, friendly to no one.
2. Decide to be aggressive enough, quickly enough.
3. Have a plan.
4. Have a back-up plan, because the first one probably won't work.
5. Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everyone you meet.
6. Do not attend a gunfight with a handgun whose caliber does not start with a "4."

National Guard.

1. Always look busy.
2. If you have to go somewhere, carry something. A tool or a clip board will do.
3. Sgts - if an officer tells you something wait for the third time. They change their minds a lot.

I managed to avoid most everything for 2 years by just carrying a clip board while walking around doing nothing. Of coarse my serial no. starts with US and I was in from 61 til 63. It helps to put a big manila envelope with confidential stenciled on it on that clip board.

I was in mortars in a headquarters company. We laid wire between the guns/forward observers/headquarters. The order and procedures for loading/unloading etc all the equipment involved was well established but occasionally an officer/s would want to get involved. Not good. Most of the year we were in the armory doing maintenance with officers hanging about in the offices upstairs with windows to the floor. You would have done well.
