-
- I want a lot of you to sign up, to serve in a great or small
- capacity, and to get all the training you can. because, until you
- take this training, you won't understand how different the task
- is. It is much different, running a communications post, under
- stress, worried about your family, worried about your home or
- your neighbor's, worried about your own safety. Responding to
- emergencies is not what you normally do on a day-to-day routine.
- You do not normally put yourself in harm's way. This response
- will have a different feel, and until you can learn to focus, to
- concentrate all your energies on the emergency matter at hand,
- you will continue to be disappointed in your own performance
- under stress.
-
- To successfully perform under stress takes training and spirit.
- I know you have spirit. You need training, and training is not
- something to be done once and forgotten. You need to train and
- keep training to concentrate and focus all your abilities on an
- emergency at hand.
