Countdowns and the panic they instill

Good morning Anons. Like many of you here this anon too has served. Semper Fidelis.

These countdowns are not for us: they are for (((them))). Remember back in boot camp when the drill instructors would “count-down” and near everyone would lose their wits; moving fast, but not thinking clearly, trying be first out of the D.I.’s wake when the countdown ended. 60, 59, 58, 57, 42, 34, 33, 32… 20, 18, 15, 10… NINE EIGHT SEVEN FIVE… THREE TWO ONE - FREEZE.

The count-downs were not real. They never were. They were ALWAYS to generate panic. Remember your training Anons.
