Even when reloading our weapons, we kept moving until we positioned ourselves safely behind cover. We called this constant motion getting off the X. This training ensured that we never stood still long enough to give our adversaries an easy target. The get off the X lesson carries over to all facets of our lives. When it comes to building up your mental fortitude, don’t remain in the same place long enough to get hit, hurt, or insulted. And when I say “don’t remain in the same place,” I literally mean “don’t remain in the same place.” As in, physically get up and leave.
