Well I didn't think they meant AA bras.

1. If the bastard's not even changing course. Don't chuckle.

2. Ion clouds mess with your scanners but Pretty pretty lights.

3. If she's locked the door, remember to leave a guard 'cause she still knows the code.

4. Make sure the guard is NOT her brother.

5. Always speak to the Captain and not the Burser. look him in the eye so you know who you're dealing with.

6. Try not to look clean when trying to blend in.

7. When fighting feral psychopathic space dudes, remember to bring a lot of ammo. Belt-fed rules.

8. If you think friends are in danger. Never bother calling, you'll be too late.

9. The captain will get further than you expect... Especially wearing that dress.

10. You don't need grenades if you're robbing the place. Only if you're occupying it... Unless there's Reavers.

The silence on Lester Tourville's flag bridge was absolute
And then the spell was broken as Shannon Foraker looked up from her console from where she had just sent a seemingly innocent command to the main computers of State Security's finest Superdreadnoughts.
"Oops." She said.

Totally. It's a biggie and kinda weird but I learned a little from it.

I always thought of Mal as more of a Kipling man.

'Said England unto Pharaoh, "I must make a man of you,That will stand upon his feet and play the game;
That will Maxim his oppressor as a Christian ought to do," And she sent old Pharaoh Sergeant Whatisname.
It was not a Duke nor Earl, nor yet a Viscount --
It was not a big brass General that came;
But a man in khaki kit who could handle men a bit,
With his bedding labelled Sergeant Whatisname.'

You're welcome.

To quote John Ringo "There are only two types of professional soldiers. Those who love Kipling and those who haven't read him yet."

Pharoh and the Sergeant, Recessional, Ballad of the Clampherdown, The Bolivar, Sons of Martha and The Young British Soldier are all Kipling poems I'd associate with Firefly.
