Cookie, “combat parking” means backing into a parking space, or parking the car with the nose out. That way, you just stuff the car in forward and gas it.
Nose-in parking can get you trapped by enterprising looters with a vehicle that parks you in...
This is also useful when several cars are trying to quickly leave at the same time. I’ve worked at some oil/gas facilities where this was required as a safety issue.
LOL I call that, “Man-style parking”. My husband does that all the time. I suppose I should work on getting better at backing into parking spaces.
