This is general, and should probably be a topic of its own, however:
we spend significant time discussing tools and tactics here, but virtually none on strategic overview and the actual theory of martial action. In large part, I believe, this is due to the broad base of members and the extremely variable level of background and experience. This is not "bad" but can be limiting, and certainly an internet forum lacks much in interpersonal cues and information.
Understanding rationale is what seperates a practicum-specialist from the practioner. There is an actual science to developing higher performance and appropriate application of that performance. This is where the phrase, "know what you don't know" comes from.
A practicum-specialist is able to run a basic diagnostic and has a trained, set response; the practioner is able to immediately take the same basic assessment and one or more potential responses, and is able to run, for lack of a better term, a "consequential alogorithm"- they are sequentially 2-4 steps ahead in the OODA cycle. But, and this is a big "BUT", this is not only in the decision making cycle, but in the actualization as well. To equate it to my primary field, this level of practice is what seperates the Trauma or PICU "God" from the Trauma or PICU Physcian.
"THE" wrongful death/malpractice attorney in our state sought out one of our physcians to deliver care to him. His stated reason: "In over 100 suits, you've never been found at fault. Others second guess you, but your decision-making and practice are, in all practical terms, faultless."
Again, this a "general" statement. I am not a TR alumni, nor affiliated with them in any way.
I do demand excellence from myself. I will continue to push limits, personally and professionally, to enhance my ability to perform to a higher standard, on demand.
