Situational Awareness

I realized I haven’t written about situational awareness in depth since back in 2012. I know from my day to day activities that surprisingly everyone in the world has not read that article and mastered it. In fact, a shit ton of people is still completely oblivious to their surroundings. They have no clue what’s going on around them.

I have a hard time even imaging how people are so out of touch. I was born with a well-developed situational awareness. Guess it makes up for my complete lack of mathematical skills.

So before we dig into it I guess I need to define it for those of you that don’t know what situational awareness is.

Situational awareness is the perception of environmental elements with respect to time and/or space, the comprehension of their meaning, and the projection of their status after some variable has changed, such as time.

It’s knowing where you are and what’s going on around you.

Were they raised by scum with no morals instilled in them? Whatever the reasons I don’t myself or any of you to be a victim. Today I’ll share some strategies that could help you avoid it.

This was a terrible act of violence done to those having fun and being healthy and active. Today I’ll share my thoughts on the tragedy and some thoughts on what you can due when at events like this. I will not be an arm chair General though, I was not there and don’t know a magic trick to help you survive an explosion. I can only offer advice that could save a life.

This week I’ve given situational awareness some serious thought and decided to share with you.

Wiki describes Situational awareness as:
