Good luck with your training I hope everything goes well. Remember.......

This is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
My rifle is my best friend. It is my life.
I must master it as I must master my life.
My rifle, without me, is useless. Without my rifle, I am useless.
I must fire my rifle true. I must shoot straighter than my enemy
who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me...........

Yeah it's the Marine Creed but it's fitting Good luck mate.....

(PS, I'd post the whole thing but it's too damn big, hehe)

------------------

Blessed be the Lord my strength, which teacheth my hands to War and my fingers to fight.

Aaaaaaaaaah, the hell with it, I like it so here it is.......


This is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
My rifle is my best friend. It is my life.
I must master it as I must master my life.
My rifle, without me, is useless. Without my rifle, I am useless.

who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me.

I will...

My rifle and I know that what counts in this war is not the rounds we fire,
the noise of our burst, nor the smoke we make.
We know that it is the hits that count.

We will hit...

My rifle is human, even as I am human, because it is my life.
Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses,
its strength, its parts, its accessories, its sights and its barrel.
I will ever guard it against the ravages of weather and damage
as I will ever guard my legs, my arms, my eyes and my heart against damage.
I will keep my rifle clean and ready. We will become part of each other.

We will...

Before God, I swear this creed.
My rifle and myself are the defenders of my country.
We are the masters of our enemy. We are the saviors of my life.
So be it, until victory is America's and there is no enemy, but peace!

So Patriotic......

Personally, I like this one better though. And seeing it's Army it may be more fitting..

[R]ecognizing that I volunteered as a Ranger, fully knowing the hazards of my chosen profession, I will always endeavor to uphold the prestige, honor, and high "esprit de corps" of my Ranger Regiment.

[A]cknowledging the fact that a Ranger is a more elite soldier who arrives at the cutting edge of battle by land, sea, or air, I accept the fact that as a Ranger my country expects me to move further, faster and fight harder than any other soldier.

[N]ever shall I fail my commrades.I will always keep myself mentally alert, physically strong and morally straight and I will shoulder more than my share of the task whatever it may be. One Hundred-percent and then some.

[G]allantly will I show the world that I'm a specially selected and well trained soldier. My courtesy to superior officers, neatness of dress and care of equipment shall set the example for others to follow.

[E]nergetically will I meet the enemies of my country. I shall defeat them on the field of battle for I am better trained and will fight with all my might. Surrender is not a Ranger word. I will never leave a fallen comrade to fall into the hands of the enemy and under no circumstances will I ever embarrass my country.

[R]eadily will I display the intestinal fortitude required to fight onto the Ranger objective and complete the mission, though I be the lone survivor.

RANGERS LEAD THE WAY!
