I'm sure they are on the threads somewhere, but evidently they've gotten buried and people are asking. Plus, I don't think anyone's posted Tabby's.
As of the end of Season Four:
1. Never screw over your partner. (ie: betray) TONY: I don't sit on the sidelines when my people are in trouble.
3. Never be unreachable.
4. The best way to keep a screret: Keep it to yourself; 2nd best, tell one other personif you must. Thereisno third best.
7. Always be specific when you lie.
8. Never take anything for granted.
9. Never go anywhere without your knife. (BTW: Not sure about knives, but Abbysays she never leaves home without her hand-cuffs. ABBY's Rule #9 is "Always keep a spare, esp.Caf-Pow."
12. Never date a co-worker.
15. Always work as a team.
18. It's better to ask Forgiveness,than beg Permission.
22. Never, ever, disturb Gibbs in interrogation.
23. Never mess with a Marine'scoffee if you want to live.
Not numbered, but stated:
Never underestimate your opponent.
I don't believe in Coincidence. I do believe in bad luck. (The head in the car trunk.)
Never Apologize:It's a sign of weakness. Except between friends.
No such thing as an open-and-shut case: only water-tight.
FYI: The Paris, FranceNCISteam had a special rule: What Gibbs doesn't know, won't hurt us.
Comments
It's believed there was a continuity problem when they changed from the JAG/Pilot writers to NCIS staff writers. The consensus is, since they aren't written down any where, "Gibbs' Rules" are more fluid than SOP rules would be.
Thanks for the list jcmjagfan! I've been looking for it everywhere!!

These are the rules from Yankee White. Kate asked: "Should I write these rules on my Palm Pilot, or crochet them on pillows?"
