Dear Warrior,
I have been suspicious that my wifeis hiding my candy. I know I am a little overweight, but I have a plan to diet. In the meantime, I can't find my stash. Should I confront her about this?
Signed,
Heavy and Hungry

a. Memory Aid. You can overcome and reduce the shock of being isolated behind enemy lines if you keep the key word S-U-R-V-I-V-A-L foremost in your mind. Its letters can help guide you in your actions.
(1) S - Size up the situation, the surroundings, your physical condition, and your equipment.
(2) U - Undue haste makes waste; don’t be too eager to move. Plan your moves.
(3) R - Remember where you are relative to friendly and enemy units and controlled areas; water sources (most important in the desert); and good cover and concealment. This information will help you make intelligent decisions.
(4) V - Vanquish fear and panic.
(5) I – Improvise/Imagine. You can improve your situation. Learn to adapt what is available for different uses. Use your imagination.
(6) V - Value living. Remember your goal - to get out alive. Remain stubborn. Refuse to give in to problems and obstacles. This will give you the mental and physical strength to endure.
(7) A - Act like the natives; watch their daily routines and determine when, where, and how they get their food and water.
(8) L - Live by your wits. Learn basic skills.
