"What is important about training for security and force protection related items is, when it comes down to it, security of the ship, off the ship and the crew is an all-hands effort. One thing I always tell people is to train like you fight and common sense is authorized. The reason why is because when you're out in a threat scenario, you have your rules and regulations, but most of all, in all reality, you have you, the person in front of you, the person behind you, and the person next to you keeping you alive. You're all responsible for each other. So, I absolutely agree with the concept of using common sense, using your training, and being constantly aware of what's going on around you. At the end of the day, you and the people around you are going to be responsible for your life and their lives."
