I absolutely cringe when I hear shelter in place!
So do I. But you've got to admit, it's a great way of consolidating victims.
We did the “active shooter training” at JB Andrews 2 weeks ago. They list the following responses: 1. Run away 2. Hide 3. Fight.
The briefer later in the presentation said, “this isn’t a priority list, you can use any of them depending on the circumstances”. That did very little to offset the list. I would prefer, “1. retrieve your weapon from your desk drawer and engage, because the Security Forces won’t get there till a lot of people are dead.”
I was very disappointed in the training, even though the SSgt was doing his best.
Colonel, USAFR
I wonder who thought that up? Probably the same one who coined “diversity” and “sustainable”.
Shelter in place = cower while holding your boyfriend.
Those 3 words, along with hearing, "Would you would prefer a private screening area for the pat down procedure?", at any American airport, are a reminder to me that the terrorists of September 11, 2001... have won.
Eh. I should have read all the posts before I posted.
So it IS a place they expect everyone to run to and hide in. Some part of me just cannot believe that is the case on an active duty military base, but...I guess that is what you have to do if they order you to do it.
I just can’t see cringing in a bathroom, waiting for a gunman to find you. That seems really...wrong.
