It's every man for himself but you will get checks and cleared if at all possible. The first thing I learned fighting these guys is you must be aggressive, smart and keep your head on a swivel, because they don't make too many mistakes....if any.
I feel like a real dumb arse everytime I go to one of these things...but how else is a guy supposed to learn? <shrugs> So you won't be alone. I suspect I'll be in the tower before you.
