Anyway, training ...Anyone remember that movie, FX?<br /><br />Anyway, training is everything, but everything is training.<br /><br />At the end of the day, there isn't any real substitute for actual experience. <i>Knowing</i> that you are in a simulated setting, however realistic, alters your reactions immensely. Conversely, believing a scenario to be very realistic can have benefits in helping you simulate actual reactions...but it's still training to the simulation, not to reality.<br /><br />The "thin blue line" concept of law enforcement was always more a fantasy than meaningful reality. Upholding the rule of law cannot ever fall to a small class of enforcers, even were it not for the insuperable theoretical difficulties. In practice, the rule of law is upheld by an overwhelming majority of citizens knowing and voluntarily obeying the law, and being ready in any situation to defend their own rights under the law.<br /><br />It's time to face the sad truth that throwing more taxpayer money at the problem of law-enforcement is not a real world solution...even if we weren't already out of real money.Chiu ChunLinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03519192610708043962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-45976124477120911772016-05-17T11:43:36.913-05:002016-05-17T11:43:36.913-05:00Methinks the first thing you have to work thru is ...Methinks the first thing you have to work thru is being scared shit-less then if you are still alive finding it in yourself to fight thru (or away) from whatever the problem is you are facing.<br /><br />All the practice in the world won't help if deep inside of you; you don't have the will to fight and most people will not find that out until the moment that their very life depends on it.<br /><br />But practicing in as real of conditions as possible is a good start.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-30421736329460157072016-05-17T09:14:35.935-05:002016-05-17T09:14:35.935-05:00Last winter, I practiced taking a dump outside in ...Last winter, I practiced taking a dump outside in the freezing rain, below zero at night, and in the midst of a snowstorm, all timed to see how long it took, all from an appropriately dressed for conditions starting point.
