Situational Awareness
As a recruit-in-process filling some of the abundant wait time by trying to do his homework (reading both here and elsewhere) I hear a lot about the importance of situational awareness, especially when it comes to SF. Nevertheless, it strikes me as a rather nebulous and subjective thing for being so essential.
So I thought it would be very interesting and useful to hear a Professional's take. My questions: How would you define SA in the context of your profession? More importantly, it is something one is born with or something that can be learned? If it can be learned, it is something one can study intentionally, or is absorbed indirectly?
I graciously offer US$0.02 in advance for any takers.
