Nervous, no. Adrenaline, abundantly. With a very increased awareness.

Could nervousness be just how you mentally frame and acknowledge it? If I welcomed my symptoms (heart rate, shakiness, heightened alertness) then it felt like excitement, yet if I pushed it away then it becomes fear. I want to assume you experienced the same physical symptoms as I did.

Training and mindset.

I suggest you read the mindset thread, it may be long but well worth the read.

When the poop hits the fan, things seem to slow down for me. I attribute that to the fact that my mind is racing, processing huge amounts of information and comparing it with training and experience to gauge reaction. In many ways it contributes to the level of 'awareness' and subsequent response mentioned above ....

Thus, when everything has 'slowed down' around you and you react, it seems not only 'calm and ordered' to you, but also to those around you.

Adderall. Keeps you focused. Just can't be in the Army or need a security clearance.
