Gibbs' Rules
Chandan Das

For 14 years Gibbs and his team at "NCIS" have taught us about life, family and Naval criminology. For those who watch NCIS you know about Gibbs' rules, and their importance to the show. So here, are Gibbs' rules compromised into one list.

1) Never screw (over) your partner.

2) Always wear gloves at a crime scene.

3) Don't believe what you're told: double check.

4) Never be unreachable.

5) You don't waste good.

6) Never say you're sorry. It's a sign of weakness.

7) Always be specific when you lie.

8) Never take anything for granted.

9) Never go anywhere without a knife.

10) Never get personally involved in a case.

11) When a job is done, walk away.

12) Never date a coworker.

13) Never, ever involve lawyers.

14) Bend the line, don't break it.

15) Always work as a team.

16) If someone thinks they have the upper hand, break it.

18) It's better to ask for forgiveness rather than permission.

20) Always look under.

22) Never, ever, interrupt Gibbs during interrogation.

23) Never mess with a Marine's coffee if you want to live.

27) There are two ways to follow someone:

1st way - they never notice you.

2nd way - they only notice you.

28) If you need help, ask.

35) Always watch the watchers.

36) If it feels like you're being played, you probably are.

38) Your case, your lead.

39) There is no such thing as coincidence.

40) If it seems like someone's out to get you, they are.

42) Don't ever accept an apology from someone that just sucker-punched you.

44) First things first: hide the women and children.

45) Clean up your messes.

51) Sometimes - you're wrong.

62) Leave room for someone exiting the elevator.

69) Never trust a woman who doesn't trust her man.

70) Keep digging 'til you hit bottom.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.
