Do you have a plan for if things go wrong?

While no plan survives the first contact, the best part of your plan is the objective. In the Marine Corps, we called it the Commander’s Intent. You are going to do this so that this other thing can happen.

When you are the one making the plan, the first thing you need to know is what is the other thing that you want to happen.

I break my planning down to simple things, in this order:

• My Family’s Survival, Wife and Child come first and foremost
• My Survival comes next
• My family not getting physically hurt
• Me not getting physically hurt
• I protect those other people that are in my charge
• I protect friends and family
• I protect kids
• I protect other adults
• I don’t injure the bad guy if I don’t have to
• I protect my stuff
• I seek justice
