Can you share something you learned from all the training videos?

If you're in an active shooter situation and can't escape or hide you should gather your colleagues and find improvised weapons and fight as a team

In boot camp we learned MCMAP (Marine Corps Martial Arts Program) since it just debuted a few months prior.

A big part of it was using improvised weapons. I'm glad office workers and children are learning these techniques designed for a horrifyingly brutal war. :)

Admittedly, I didn't get much out of the actual combat training. What I really did get a feel for was the mindset of being willing to viciously stomp on someone's throat 17 times until they stop moving.

I should note that the same advice applies to hostile customers even if they don't have a gun.

Oh the other thing I learned is that even though political ideology is a protected class that employers can't discriminate against you for, in California employers are allowed to discriminate against you for being a member of the communist party

It's pretty extreme and I don't know if I have that in me anymore but humans can do terrible things. If I were in a "you have to fight or die" situation I don't know if the extreme stuff would kick in or I just accept my fate at this point.

yeah, the mental preparedness component is the biggest part. it takes a lot of training to be skilled in melee fighting, too much training to waste on the average grunt. if you find yourself unarmed, something is badly hosed up. but having a soldier be psychologically prepared for it can be a major improvement over nothing

Holy poo poo it's up to 37 now? I'd imagine that's for professionals though right? Like the whole skilled profession to officer thing. Last I heard to enlist into the USMC it was 31 or so.

edit: USMC is 28 for enlisting atm

At the bar. Busy as poo poo and only one girl is working and I feel bad for her but she's killing it.

They ran out of walleye. :stare:

But I wanted to try the bluegill anyway. It's $15.50 for the walleye and $10.50 for the bluegill so I'm curious.

Only bluegill I've eaten was in the boy scouts. We caught a bunch one afternoon while camping along the river on a canoe trip. The trip had been arduous up to that point so it was a welcome treat to have an all you can eat fish fry.

Get the bluegill!

It was really good. I hate crinkle cut fries but I've had their potato salad before and was not a fan. The poor girl was running around like crazy and trying to do what she could. I was there almost 2 hours and people got what was going on pretty quick and some were clearing their own tables and waiting very patiently for their drinks and orders. I sat at the bar. It was heartwarming to see every customer so nice and understanding.

I had 4 pints and the fish fry and my bill came to $17.09 so I gave her a 100% tip.

I was honestly going to ask if she needed any garbage or anything taken out while I was leaving but I know she'd say no and say she has it under control (she did) and I didn't want to screw up her rhythm. There were 2 cooks there but they were moving non-stop in the back and speed walking food from downstairs.

Only in Wisconsin will you find people bussing their own tables and feel bad for the person who didn't do it. :unsmith:
