    --------
    Former sniper Nicholas Irving shared how his sniper training impacts his daily life. Irving talked about the importance of patience in his role as a sniper, noting that most of his job involved waiting, being patient, and often fighting boredom. He divulged that his training involved taking “mental snapshots” and memorizing objects' details, which is crucial for their observational skills. Irving stated that while this training has little implementation in civilian life, he uses it while driving because he tends to be on the lookout due to his experiences in Iraq. He also uses these observational skills at home, noticing details such as the placement of shoes or the way curtains are drawn back. Maintaining these habits, Irving concluded, helped his transition from his previous role as a sniper to regular civilian life.

    90% of my job is boredom, too. I work on a food production line where I’m observing to see if the product is to be discarded. 8 hours of that is flat out tedious, repetitive and makes you want to fall asleep. Half the time I AM falling asleep and the other half I’m trying to figure out why I’m still doing this crap.

Best 1 is looking both ways before entering a fresh green intersection. ALWAYS look both ways at any intersection. I know it sounds nerdy. But after you do it for like 10 years it gon be 1 random ass day it gon save yo ass from getting t boned and youll be mind blown your life just flashed before your eyes
