Color Code – Condition White
This is the color code for being in a state that you are completely unaware
of any threat to you, your family or anyone in your vicinity. When you are
asleep you are in condition white, not much we can do about this but to
sleep in a secure space. Locks are locked. Alarms are set. For this article
we will concentrate on being in white while awake. You have likely been
driving to work or traveling and wouldn’t be able to articulate much about
the trip. Not sure which lights were red or green and not sure what cars
were in your proximity. Your mind was wandering, and your driving mind
was on cruise control. Perhaps you were thinking about work or your next
recreational activity. Other times, even when walking, we can be in white
is when our focus is on other things. Staring at our phone, looking at
maps or GPS, dealing with the kids are all situations that we can find
ourselves in white. Reading a book or newspaper can easily put you into a
condition white.
In my demonstrates of condition white, I can walk up behind a girl that is
texting and she will not have any idea that I’m there. Let’s think about
this, would a person in white be a good victim of attack? No. This person
would be a great victim to attack. Here’s an effective game to play with
your spouse and kids. The next time you are out in the public, have them
help you pick out who they would attack, then ask them why. You find
that they will pick out those in condition white. If the victim is looking at a
map or looking lost teach them that if they look like they are not in familiar
surroundings that they likely will not be aware of danger and have more
cash on them than someone going about their normal workday. This
exercise will teach them what they have been doing wrong.
While in condition white, you are not ready for an attack. You don’t see it
coming and you will not be able to react quickly. Your response will be so
slow in coming that you will lose this encounter. If the attack includes
trying to kill you, you will likely not survive.
