What's the best way to mentally prepare yourself for combat without actually being in combat?
>>65527872Combat vet here, it's hard to explain but you can't really "prepare" for combat, you can prepare your gear, plans, and mission but being in a warzone is a switch, it's either on or off.
>>65527872To ask random larping strangers on 4/chan for made up advice?
>>65527872Vehicle assault dismounts are really chaotic but one way to prepare for that is to just drive chaotically a lot, like if you're driving down the highway you should just go really fast while randomly jerking the wheel left and right. Careen across lanes. Don't use turn signals. Also bring friends and have them aim guns out the windows and get them to pump their fists if other drivers get too close while shouting "imshi!!! imshi!!!"
>>65527886This is absolutely correct. To add, be sure to call the local police and threaten to shoot up the police station, this allows them to get training in as well!
You can't really prepare mentally. In fact I'd say the more you think about it beforehand the more likely you are to be scared when the time comes. Reaction to stress is variable from people but from my experience (Afghanistan) there are 3 categories of people : those who treat it like any other job, the psychos who enjoy it and the cowards who lose all their abilities. If you belong in the later category sadly there's not much you can do. Best is don't enlist and if you do stay away from combat roles for your sake and the sake of your comrades.
>>65527872constantly think about getting shot in the teeth and losing teeth
>>65527872>webmThat's all actually true
>>65527888You can also bring your neighbors into the mix! Kick in their doors and simulate an armed home invasion, this is a great training exercise fun for the whole family!
Casuals.
>>65528283>Not the school zone for the canvas version Lame
Have enough caffeine to trigger a panic attack, then smoke a bunch of pot, then watch a war movie: you'll feel like everything you're seeing is happening to you
>>65527909I learned I was in the third category when I played Phasmophobia in VRI get spooked hard enough and freezeShit sucks but ah well, not like I'm gonna go shave a decade off my life training myself out of it
>>65528343Not op,What if I have an actual heart attack and die from this? What do I do?
>>65528686Decompose, mostly
>>65528686Don't have more than 300mg of caffeine at once, even if you're healthy. You'll be fine
>>65528756<300 mgNgmi, unironically. Soft hands typed this
>>65529009Oof fucked the green text. Mishka forgive me
>>65529009>>65529013>tries to be smart>fucks up
>>65527872Ride the bus in Albuquerque
>>65529009If 300mg isn't enough for you the problem is you, not other people. That's not a put down, it means it isn't doing anything for you because you overdid it for too long
>>65527872Get a job at Waffle House and practice airsoft in a Speedo.
>>65529977I've heard waffle house is combat. OP wants mental prep first before the real thing
>>65529028Story of my lyfe>>65529953Trying too hard nigger
>>65529983The combat doesn't start until 2am. Try to get on during the day before going after that sweet graveyard shift differential.
>>65528756400mg daily is the "safe for pretty much every adult without a heart problem" threshold established by decades of research
>>65527872Stomp a tranny to death
>>65531224Combined daily. That does not mean 400 at once. This entire time I've been arguing no more than 300mg at once. You faggots need to learn to fucking read
>>65527872blow your head off
>>65527872I did that for like 10 years. My license expired before I paid those tickets so it was suspended but also expired. Kroger wouldn't even sell me beer. I went to military school so I've been doing all of that stuff since I was 12. I'm almost 40 now. >>65527888Don't forget to mail them a pile of electrical components with a clock counting down to the big day.
>>65532288You can still get a renewed driver's license, it'll just remain suspended. At least in my state. t. am nig-tier with low end crime shit like that
>>65532569Now that you mention it I'm not actually sure I couldn't get a new drivers license. I just applied for the state ID option because I wanted to follow the law.
>>65532288I just straight up drove my dad's car without any kind of license for six years. He just taught to obey traffic laws really well so I never got pulled over.
>>65529977this
>>65527872join the army and complete basic.
>>65538065Seems like too much effort. I'd rather drive with suspended license.
You can go into gay porn and only do scenes with Jewish men fucking you in the ass. Thatโll prepare for war better than anything.
>>65527872This, >>65538065 but lie about your criminal record

>>65527909Put me in Afghanistan and I wouldn't lift my head to let a durka get a shot off since they want nothing but to live peacefully. Put me in Gaza and I'd be asking for a minigun and a helicopter.
