Situational Awareness
I am intrigued by the OODA cycle and the situational awareness levels of condition white, condition yellow, and so on. These techniques, in a roundabout way, have helped me become tremendously more observant of my surroundings. I continuously ask myself a multitude of questions. Where is the nearest cover? What are my escape routes? Does anything look out of place? (I.E. a person who is wearing an un-tucked or bulky shirt on a hot day, etc.) These are but a few of the questions I ask myself daily, hourly, and by the minute. Which leads me to the following questions. What do you folks look for or ask yourselves about your environment? (A mental checklist if you will) What are some of the other methods and techniques you use for situational awareness? I know this isn’t a specific scenario, but please give me your thoughts.
