Military brainwashing, mostly.
...
1: Pack like you won't come back.
2: Be ready to defend yourself at all times.
3: Maintain a low profile in life.
4: Focus on self improvement--mental and physical--over material possessions.
5: Task, conditions, standards with purpose, direction, motivation.
What am I doing? What do I have to work with? What am I trying to achieve?
Why am I doing this? Where do I need to go with this? What are the rewards?
...
Critical Incidents process as: Establish Security. Ensure Accountability. Maintain Communication.
...
As found on Al Gore's Intarweb and seen posted on the wall in a USMC head:
"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."
7. Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice. Ammo is cheap. Life is expensive.
8. Move away from your attacker. Distance is your friend. (Lateral & diagonal preferred.)
9. Use cover or concealment as much as possible.
10. Flank your adversary when possible. Protect yours.
11. Always cheat; always win. The only unfair fight is the one you lose.
12. In ten years nobody will remember the details of caliber, stance, or tactics. They will only remember who lived.
13. If you are not shooting, you should be communicating your intention to shoot."
