Been thinking about objectives for Team 5. A training objective that we all can tackle, that isn't dependent on physical well being or free time. Situational awareness. The first line in prrotecting ourselves and others, is being aware of the threats. As you go about life this month have your eyes out. When you walk in to a cafe, coffee shop, store, office what are the first things to know? 1 Are there other entrances/exits that a threat could use to approach? That you can use to get you and loved ones out of in case of danger. 2 Who is there? Any obvious bad characters? Folks in odd clothing for weather or season. Hoodies or big coats durring the summer in Texas? Folks exhibting bizare behavor? Folks having heath issues? 3 Plan to exfil the area if something happens. 1st, 2nd and 3rd options. 4 Where do you land? Can you see all the threats from your table? Is your seat easily available to your exit routes? Obective is to become more aware. Not to plan is a plan for failure. "Be polite, be proffessional, but have a plan to kill everyone in the room" Gen Mattis. Semper Gumby!
