  1. I’ve worked with a couple of Marines in the movie business. One guy was about two weeks after his separation, and he needed about a week to make the adjustment to working on a film crew. Once he adjusted, he was one of the best workers as long as we feed him crayons. Just kidding, he didn’t eat crayons, but he was the one of the best at anticipating moves and changes. He made me better, even though I had a little more experience. The other guy was still a sgt. in the reserve, and he was a model leader and problem solver. He was “squared away”, and he took care of the people he supervised. Good boss. In the first video, I think the guys had good environmental awareness, so they didn’t have to go looking for cover because they had already noted it. They could go towards it when the firing started. They were paying attention before contact. I have no combat experience, but I’ve lived most of my life inside cities and not in the best neighborhoods. You learn to keep your head on a swivel if you don’t want trouble. Staying safe is about situational awareness and anticipation.
