How has your daily routine changed since we moved to security level 'bravo?'

With the heightened security, how has your daily routine changed? Active duty, Reserve and Guard, this one's for you especially. Has your routine changed at all or stayed the same?

CH (MAJ) William Beaver Sir mine hasn't. Since I am Guard, it seems as to not hit us yet. I am waiting for it too though.

not changed at all...living with pts, I can say that my threat level is always maintained at the ready... It's not hyper vigilance, it's acknowledging an imminent threat

Dyed my underwear black, purchased a balaclava and a cape..... have a whole ninja outfit... and I just sit in my chair waiting for the Iraqis to attack....

That color scale is the most gimicky nonsense that the media ever created... I remember shortly after 9/11 (or maybe it was 2003), it was taken seriously... but I don't think it has ever... EVER been down to green... I believe it is to condition people to be on edge...

When it turns red, I'll know something disastrous happened in this country... like Kim & Kanye broke up... or that Bruce Jenner guy got the switch-a-roo operation back to being a man... Nonsense

Correct me if I'm wrong, but haven't we been at an elevated security level since 9/11? I know it has been up and down but I every time I see this graphic it is no lower than BRAVO.

A good follow up to this question might be "What will it take to see the threat level return to "Normal?" Assuming that it has ever been there in the first place.

It has not. I no longer pay attention to it. When the round is fired that says Senn JW, I will worry.
