Republic Commando: Hard Contact (Chapter 3)

For those of us who aren’t familiar enough with the more colorful terms in English to fill in the gaps. The six P’s are Proper planning prevents piss-poor performance. Niner stops himself and improvises the word inadequate because it gets the point across without the risk of upsetting delicate Jedi sensibilities, or you know, offending a commanding officer with the kind of casual talk you’d use around people you’re more familiar with.

The killing house is explained in a later book but I’ll describe it here, it’s pretty much what it sounds like. They out together a temporary house, the number of rooms and layout changes but the objective is the same, get all the targets and don’t die. Sounds simple, but the trainers tried real hard to make the not dying part difficult. Not because they wanted to kill clones, but because the harder the clones had to try to stay alive the better their odds when they actually went to war.

Piss-poor performance! I like that! I had to look up what slang but I like that! So in training they really actually try to kill clones? And not important, but where they keep water to lay for 4 day without move?

I think sad that they really think they are expendable to not know what Jusik mean. How it ok to raise human like that?

I thought it was pretty clever too!

Absolutely, like Spikey said the more realistically lethal the training the better their survival odds

Haha! In Order 66 you find out that in actual mission conditions at least they don't. Their armor recycles water... you can work out what that means on your own.

And the great moral debate of the Clones Wars!

Also did Darman crash through a tree with his body? Yes, yes he did.
