The time is upon us for a holiday safety briefing. Instead of us briefing you on what to not do as we celebrate our Independence Day, we want you to give us your best “safety briefing” one-liners.  Leave a particularly good one and I just may send a t-shirt your way (that means leave a good email address in the comment box)!

Have a happy Independence Day and don’t forget to take a moment and remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice so that we may continue this celebration.

    (the topic had gone onto the recent deployment and working with Afghan partners. The CO asked a soldier what he would do if he were to walk into a porta shitter to find shit smeared everywhere from an ANA)

    Soldier: “Clean it up cause I’m a fucking private, sir!”

    “Hey gents. Be safe out there whether you out with your boyfriend, your girlfriend, whatever the case may be. If you gonna tap it, wrap it. If you gonna drink, don’t drive. Simple shit, gents.”

    Fireworks should not be launched from, into, or across ones body. This includes your spouse.

    “Just because you wear a TapOut shirt and watch the UFC – does NOT mean you know how to fight!!! Do not go to the club and get your ass beat up… I will not feel sorry for you – and will make fun of non-fighting ass as much as possible”….

    If you’re gonna drive, dont drink.
    If you’re gonna drink, dont drive.
    If you’re gonna love, use a glove.
    Eatin’ ain’t cheatin’.
    Dont run with scissors.
    And dont call me.

    If you fail to keep up with common sense, you’re gonna fail to keep body parts too…

    Anger is one letter away from Danger…Keep projectiles away from face and others

    Forgot your hearing protection? Forget about hearing!

    Make sure you point your fireworks directly at a Wall for a cool ricochet effect

    Smaller the space = More firework fun

    ‘Don’t wear shorts to the strip club, do it with the lights on, and don’t forget your dongbag.’ – 1LT Garrett. He’s a helluva guy.

    Longnecks and short fuses are a bad combination.

    Scouts, the spurs are just ceremonial these days, if you need them to finish your 8 second ride, you drew out of your weight class…oh, and wear a fucking jimmy hat..(only CSM L could combine sex, wrestling, bull riding, and the phrase jimmy-hat in one sentence

    Don’t cross the lines of death. Oh yeah, if you’re gonna do it, wrap that thing. Cause herpagonorsyphilitis don’t care what your rank or MOS is..

    Chances are if she’s willing to sleep with you on the first night, she’s done it before. WRAP THAT RASCAL!!!!!!!

    Are any of you fucking retarded? No? Good. Don’t let me get a report Monday morning making you a liar.

    If you’re gonna drink, exercise moderation. Don’t drink till you think you’re Tim Kennedy – I will NOT bail you out of jail, nor visit you in the hospital.

    If it smells like a fish, it’s just a regular dish. But if it smell like perfume, then she’s covering up doom!
    (Oh yeah, there was also something said about. . . matches? ? ? Swimming alone? ? ? Don’t really remember, we were laughing too hard)

    If you have to ask yourself “should I, or shouldn’t I”, you shouldn’t.

    Just because your wife did it to you on deployment doesn’t mean you can do it to her in garrison but if you do remember to keep your ops black and me out of them.

    Dont fry bacon naked. Dont beat your spouse, beat your meat.

    Drink before you go to the bar, it’s cheaper that way. Go ugly early, none of you are going to taking home a prom queen. And remember this, she ain’t ugly if your dick is in her mouth.

    This is an actual safety briefing sent down from higher ups this past weekend at my current unit…

    “Due to recent DUIs in the battalion I have to tell you this… I know you don’t need to hear it cuz your smart but I’m bound by my orders… So fuck it, here it is. Drinking and driving is fucking hazardous to your health and your military career… Don’t drink and drive dumbasses… Now go have a fun 4th of July”

    I shit you not.

    Gentleman we have been deployed, dirty, and nasty for a while now. A word of advice…before you head down range, best to fire that first round off manually lest you get embarrassed!

    1SG Walker when I was RA in the ’90s:

    “If you’re gonna drink…DON’T DRINK! Do some PT! If you’re gonna beat your wife…DON’T BEAT YOUR WIFE! Do some PT! If you’re gonna go out and get laid…DON’T GET LAID! Do some PT! It’s better than sex. It’s better than drugs. It’s better than drink. It’s PT.”

    That was a PTin’ M’F'er…

    Do something that would piss off jane fonda and the westboro baptist church. If it wouldn’t piss them off, it’s not worth doing.

    If it isn’t yours, don’t touch it.
    If you didn’t come with it, don’t leave with it.
    If your going to get it on, put it on.

    If your going to drink and drive kill only yourself…if you do drugs do enough to kill your self…if your going to fuck with out a condom you’ll get fucked in 9 months…if your going to go UA leave all your shit…and because of flare wars in iraq in 2006 no flare wars between barracks

    “Don’t buy into her age, check that ID. This isn’t Florida or France.”
    “Always do a nut check when picking up ‘ladies’ in West Waikiki.”
    “If it’s fun, you can’t do it.”

    If you do something stupid, I don’t care, but if you do, don’t call me. i won’t take you to the hospital because then you won’t learn anything.

    *sung to Born in the USA*

    Realized I couldn’t put coke up my nose
    So I snorted bath salts like a Hobo
    When I woke up I grabbed the tooth paste
    Because I just ate some guy’s face

    Now I’m facin’ UCMJ
    Now I’m facin UCMJ

    After 28 Budwiesers time to drive home
    And then I got pulled over in a school zone
    Turns out I blew .24
    Looks like I’ll be a SPC for a year once more

    (Chorus)

    My wife said something that chapped my ass
    So I stabbed her in the face with broken glass
    Now I’m getting chaptered out with with no defense
    Thanks to the Lautenberge Amendment

    I had a woman I loved in south Karbool
    No she’s dancing at Deje Vu

    So I forgot a condom
    Looks like my girlfriends a mom
    My Friday nights used to be full of fun
    Now it’s time to watch Dora and I guess I’m done

    (Chorus)

    Via Bco 1/75 1SG:

    “If you fight you better not lose. Beat his ass, yell semper fi to confuse the shit out of everyone, and pop smoke”.
