I'd wager there were also some times when the guys up freakin' front (GUFF - haha- remember that, Doc !) had thoughts about whether the GIB had checked ammo for short rounds, or made sure that this or that was tight, not TOO tight, or properly slippery.

Any way sliced, GUTS-PROFICIENCY-PRAYER-TEAMWORK, and not necessarily in that order.

Thanks again, Fellas- I KNOW I slept a lot better at night (if not on guard) knowing that you guys had kept them far away from the wire in the daytime, so they were too far out at night to be much of a threat to us heavy sleepers.
