Welcome. Before we get into scenarios, awareness, and discussions, introduce yourself. You don’t have to share anything personal if you don’t want to. But if you’d like, share: - where you’re from - what made you join - a situation where you realized awareness matters - or something you’re curious about learning regarding personal safety, self defense, or firearms. I’ll go first. I’ve spent years around situations where awareness mattered: Correctional Officer work, security work, investigations, surveillance, dealing with unpredictable people, and seeing how quickly normal situations can change. One thing I learned is this: Most people don’t notice problems early. Not because they’re incapable…but because they’ve never trained themselves to pay attention. That’s what this community is about. Not fear. Not paranoia. Not acting “tactical.” Just learning how to notice what most people miss so you’re not caught off guard. Glad you’re here.
