What he said. I can't improve on it too much. Pay close attention to your training in the next few weeks. You'll need to really amp up your SA but don't tighten yourself up to the point where you are over doing it. I know it sounds kind of contradictory but it is possible. If you have ever read anything by a guy named Jeff Cooper and his 3 readiness conditions you'll understand.
Condition Green = like being at home, no worries, no threats.
Condition yellow = like being in a threat environment but nothing exceptionally elevated. Constantly looking and evaluating. A semi relaxed state of readiness and awareness. Not at ease but not at combat level either. It can be maintained almost indefinitely.
Condition red = imminent combat ready. Very tiring and draining.
That was very simplified but I think you'll quickly grasp the technique once the training starts.
Good luck and stay in touch troop.
