I am sure you are not referring to the fact that this appears in FM 21-76, March 1969, page 10. But of course, had anyone posted this, they would have probably given credit to the source. This is just one of many acronyms and none are the Rossetta Stone for survival as each have their strengths and weaknesses for application. As far as your assignment of percentages in surviving a "survival situation" there are no such things as absolutes and percentages are absolutes. 80% will to live will not do you too much good after you run out of water, have bled out, or jake-no-shoulders has kissed you for a second time on your 4th point of contact. All aspects are important and must be applied in accordance with the situation in which you find yourself-there is no magic formula against which percentages can be applied.
