Talking the Talk

[beulamary]

Talking the talk can mean many things to different people. What I Total Blackout Protocol Review am going to discuss here is talking the talk as it relates to survival situations when stranded in unknown locations.Communications in any endeavor is vital and can often mean the difference between success and failure. When a government agent is dispatched to complete a task he is not sent out "cold" with no knowledge of what he is about to undertake. That would spell total failure for his mission. Instead he is properly briefed on as much information as is known concerning his proposed assignment.

The same would apply to any survival task that we may encounter. You must know the "Lingo" to complete the task. During my initial years in the military, I felt that I was merely dumped into a foreign country surrounded by aliens who not only failed to speak my language but also had entirely different customs then I did. Their food and drink was strange when compared to mine, their manner of dress was unusual and their general makeup was odd when compared to what I was used too.

All that changed later after receiving different types of assignments then I had as a newbie. Not only did the military start to properly brief us but we in turn took more of an active role and educated ourselves, as example would be in during my assignment at Adana Turkey. I would instruct the neophytes on the manifestations relating to the conduct and mannerisms associated with the locals. I taught them that when having a meal with our Turkish counterparts they should use their right hand to eat and drink with. Naturally they wondered why the people indulged in such a practice and I informed them that it was principally to show respect to the host's religion.

There were also similar situations involving the locals and western populous when accomplishing an assignment at Tripoli. Personal appearance meant a lot to these locals. Large moustaches were frond upon for it often gave our hosts the impression that the wearer was arrogant and conceited. They considered the concept that food and drink were often contaminated by the use of such facial hairs. Dirty nails were another taboo often discouraged by our Libyan associates.
