This is the best financial advice I've ever received.

Seven years of great abundance are coming throughout the land of Egypt,but seven years of famine will follow them. Then all the abundance in Egypt will be forgotten, and the famine will ravage the land.The abundance in the land will not be remembered, because the famine that follows it will be so severe. (Gen 41:29-31 NIV)

1. Don't look directly into the sun.

2. Your asshole is an exit, not an entrance.

"if a deer runs in-front of your vehicle, don't go in the ditch to try to avoid hitting it. The telephone pole/tree/culvert in the ditch will hurt you worse than hitting the deer." I've since hit 3 deer and 1 antelope, and have yet to go in the ditch.

Seriously, get regular PROSTATE exams. You young guys may feel that " It'll never happen to me" but PC does occur - I know. It is a common thought that if a guy lives long enough, he will eventually have PC. Sorry to be taking a leak on this parade but a word to the wise is usually sufficient. [blaster]

My Plt CO would give this out every liberty brief.

"Marines I know how you are. You like to fight, fuck and drink. Not Necessarily in that order. If you fuck, wear a condom. If you drink dont drive. If you get in a fight you had better leave a trail of bodies behind you. And if I have to come bail your ass out of jail, you had better have one hell of a story including every single one of those things."

How do you LOAN Cheetos? Once eaten, there are only 2 ways to get them back. Neither of which is pleasant.

Something I came up with at work the other day for a new guy having a rough time. " when you get shit on, you can either get buried in it or use it as fertilizer to grow." kinda cheesy, but he got the point

Never lend money to friends or family. If you can afford it, give it as a gift and if they pay it back, be pleasantly surprised.

In college I worked in a liquor store, a really cool older guy (that I found out later was a retired FBI agent) always took time to talk to me about my classes and how I was doing in general. He would always end every conversation with "It's all means to an end."

His best advise after the first time I drove him somewhere with my brand new drivers license and I flipped the bird to a guy who didn't yield at a crossroad has served me well over the years: "Son: there is so many dead people who thought they had the right of way we should make it a standard epitaph...

Best advice from a movie: RAMIS: (As Russell Ziskey) I've always been kind of a pacifist. When I was a kid, my father told me, never hit anyone in anger unless you're absolutely sure you can get away with it. I don't know what kind of soldier I'm going to make, but I want you guys to know that if we ever get into real heavy combat, I'll be right behind you guys every step of the way.

Second best movie advice: WAYNE: (As J.B. Books) I won't be wronged, I won't be insulted, and I won't be laid a hand on. I don't do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.

My two personal favorites: Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.

and

Be your own man.

When I was 18 and knew everything in life, I was standing in the smoke break complaining bitterly to an old Boatswain's Mate about how everyone should just recognize my awesomeness and promote me to E5. He listened for about 30 seconds, cut me off, and explained that there were only three things I needed to know to be successful in the US Navy:

1. Life is not fair.
2. I don't feel your pain.
3. Do it yourself.

And that's worked out pretty well for me.
