Hello everyone out there in Internet Radio Land.
This is Dave Jones, the NBC guy, and I don't know why I came up with this tip.
I woke up this morning and this is stuck in my brain pan.
So I just thought I'd get it out there. And that is performance
oriented training. Or the acronym
we used in the army, POT. They say,
what are we going to do today? Oh, we're going to do some POT. And it was a
big joke. But performance oriented training is
and you may have already participated in something like this.
Very small, hands-on tasks
that you can do. And it's designed to
get you tuned up, get you ready, get you thinking
like loading and clearing a weapon.
Very small tasks like that. Of course, use dummy rounds.
Do not use live rounds. There's an accidental discharge
that could occur, so use dummy rounds.
Applying a bandage, applying a tourniquet,
and then you would do this in like what we
called a round-robin type affair,
where you go to a different station, there'd be a table, and boom, you perform the task.
And it was a pass-fail kind of thing.
So you either did it right and got a pass, go, no-go, or you got a no-go,
which means you need more hands-on training with that particular skill.
So it's designed to get a lot of training opportunities in a short period of time.
And you'd get like maybe two minutes, three minutes at a table.
The instructor would tell you what the task was and boom, you'd
do it. And then they'd blow a whistle and you'd rotate to the next one.
So I don't know why that is
stuck, but if you can use that in any way,
think about small individual tasks
hands-on that think about small individual tasks,
hands-on,
that you can perform in front of someone evaluating you and have a bunch of them.
Do this, now do this, now do this, now do this.
That's POT, Performance Oriented Training,
and that's your Prepper Tip for the day.
