ROGER'S RANGERS RULES for FOGs

This is my interpretation of how Roger's Rangers Rules of years ago have meaning to us present day FOGs./Paul Kulik

Rogers's Ranger Rules

1. "Don't forget nothing".
For FOGs: Unobtainable goal at our age....but keep trying.

2. Maintain your weapon & have lots of ammo.
For FOGs: The hard part here is remembering where you hid your weapon and ammo.

3. See the enemy first.
For FOGs: Get frequent eye exams and new glasses. Don't forget to wear them.

4. Never lie.
For FOGs: Especially to your wife....she'll spot it like a two ton elephant in the room.

5. Don't take a chance you don't have to.
For FOGs: When you've used up twelve of your nine lives your pushing your luck.

6. Stay far enough apart so one shot can't go through two men.
For FOGs: Who cares about the stranger behind you?

7. Keep spread apart in swamps.
For FOGs: Easy one here.....don't go into swamps.

8. Keep moving until dark.
For FOGs: I have a hard time getting up in the morning never mind moving until dark.

9. Stay half awake and half asleep.
For FOGs: An astute description of me and my friends.

10. Separate prisoners.
For FOGs: Easy, don't take prisoners and this problem vanishes.

11. Never return home the same way.
For FOGs: Some nights I consider myself lucky just to find home.

12. Travel with scouts.
For FOGs: If you don't have a dog get one.

13. Establish a rondeview point.
For FOGs: Bars are ideal. Excellent watering holes and easily found by your friends.

14. Post sentries when stoping.
For FOGs: Travel with a big/mean dog.

15. Be alert for attacks at dawn.
For FOGs: If they arrive before my first two cups of "Joe" I'm toast.

16. Ambush those that aim to ambush us.
For FOGs: My favorite! Better stopped in the wire than in the compound. Know your local home defense laws.

Reminds me of a guy I met in the VFW one time who told me a story of when he was walking along the beach one day and found an old bottle sticking out of the sand. As he rubbed it to get the sand off so he could read the label, a genie appeared.

He claimed he didn't know what to say and, as the genie stretched after being in the bottle for so long, asked, "Are you a real genie?"

"Yep - but I cannot grant you any three wishes," the genied told him. "What I can do, however, is grant you a choice between having a larger penis or an unforgettable memory."

"So what did you do?" I asked him.

"Do what?" he replied. ;)
