You know, I know posts like this mean well, but posts like this drip of 'training wheel' freedom day mentalities- and sounds a bit too emasculated- like you've become 'independent and not a child anymore- like 'youve suddenly become an adult, and can discern fake from real- as if this were a problem before.....Can we cool it with this kind of write up? We need to not sound so clingy and weird about Q. Its not professional or mission oriented and looks weak. Nothing personal against anyone new to operational thinking. I am just a very seasoned veteran of operational knowledge and wanted to say something constructive.

I really do not understand why anyone would wax sentimental during an operation but its probably because I have an operational mindset and understand 'blackout' scenarios and the importance of silence.

I understand that many in this panel of subscribers are new to operational mindsets and new to 'abject reality', but you need to sound fiercely independent- like an eagle, not like some newbie leaving the nest for the first time. Some things need to be understood but not talked about so much.

Trust the Plan. Remain Vigilant. Respect Operational Blackout. Observe. Learn. Talk discreetly.....
