FIRE DISCIPLINE- A MILITARY THEOREM TO APPLY IN EVERYDAY LIFE

Fire discipline implies firstly, the restraints or self-discipline to open fire at the correct time and place and secondly implicit obedience of fire control for instance, in defence, the enemy will often try to make the defender discloses his position by sending out patrols to draw his fire, it is important that the defenders should not open fire on such patrols unless they are certain of killing the whole patrol. Good fire discipline is particularly important to prevent indiscriminate fire @ patrols or worse still, at imaginary patrols, noise or lights.

          This phenomenon of fire discipline can be applied as a theory in our lives. We live in a world where everybody is a soldier fighting his owner. We hustle and bustle every day, and some pretty do it out of control! Man you’ve got to stop simply because you need to get to the top of your career, business, and competition doesn’t mean you need to fire at all times you need fire discipline. Yes! Never give up but sometimes you should know when to quit or re-strategize.

 The same to have to go with emotions, every day we meet different kind of people, there are some that exist to just annoy the heck out of you. Just like I said earlier in defence the enemy will say mad things about you, provoke you, step on your nerves all this guys are patrols sent out to draw out the best in you and lose your formation, the best thing to do is to hold your fire. Never react to these provocations. After all when you eat it’s not all that go down your guts that your body need it will have to ignore some of the food to pass them straight down to the asshole.

          The same thing goes here, when you are fully motivated beyond measure and you begin to work hard relentlessly, all night you keep reading all morning you listen to your carrier seminars on your phone, all day you work in office, all day you sit at the laptop all day you are always on the social media. Man I have got to tell you that you are just pulling the trigger and you simply have no fire discipline. You will probably run out of ammo, or weapon get jammed or you are have spilled out your best, Mr reader you should know when to work and when to rest, apply simply the fire discipline to your own life and get the real concept of true battles.

          Forget about the video games and ignore those crazy movies where by you see that the action is fully bombarded with too much pulling of trigger, sometimes at battlefield there are some moment that everything is bored for the guys and they want some fun but can’t shoot anything.

Ask the vets or if you are one I know you understand what am talking about.

          In Martial arts you can do 6 weeks’ intense damn workout but the smart money says you should look for rest if not you will wear out your muscles and you will produce fatigue result even the shaolin monks that spent years doing training they also spent years on resting and meditation, athletes also do the same, military men do the same, don’t over work and sometimes know when to work.

          However, nothing good comes without a disadvantage, if you can remember the 1998 Beirut barracks bombing became successful for the Islamic sects then because the soldiers present on guard are under the code of fire discipline which caused a catastrophic end simply because the soldiers could not fire at the incoming suicide bombers vehicles –their weapons were locked. Well they were simply acting on orders. Fire discipline as a theory is just like a pill; don’t use paracetamol when an illness requires chemiron. Know when to apply the principle of fire discipline in your life.
