Tyler On Training: Situational Awareness

Tyler talks about situational awareness today, and stresses the importantce of sitational awareness, and relates it as a precursor to every action that follows. This cannot be stressed enough, especially for concealed carriers.  One of the most common “situational awareness erasers” that you see today is the cell phone.  This is one thing that really needs to be stressed to your family and childeren as well.  

How can you enhance your situational awareness? Challenge yourself to be more aware, and recognize that most situations that occurs have precursors or telegraphing.  Bad situations usually have telegraphing or signs, and pay attention to those.  Don’t let yourself be talked out of something because you think it will offend someone, or because you think that you are over reacting.   If you really want to learn more about situational awareness, get the book “Left of Bang: How the Marine Corps’ Combat Hunter Program Can Save Your Life”.
