I am currently puting together a powerpoint about Waterborne Operations. We should NEVER limit our operational capacity in any way, especially by staying only on dry land.

Waterways are more important than most people think. A lot of very important infrastructure that may need protecting is located on waterways. Also, the vast majority of important cities are located on waterways BELOW the fall line. This means they are located on navigable bodies of water. Another important aspect is that waterways are not regulated nearly as much as roadways. It is also more difficult to strictly regulate and enforce any regulations on the water. This means we have a lot more freedom on the water than on the highway.

"But I live on the prairie/in the mountains/desert. There's not way I'll need to learn those skills."
We never know where the call of duty may take us. After I had that dream about being in New Mexico, I've pulled my desert BDUs out of the attic.

Remember, you can't win a revolution unless you take the strongholds. The cities will be the strongholds. Especially those on the waterways. They can blow the bridges, but that won't stop us.

On equipment: You get what you inspect, not what you expect.
On training: Our drills are bloodless battles so that our battles are bloody drills.
On tactics: Cheating just means you're serious about winning.
