(no subject)

hey! a while back at the beginning of the month i talked about getting people together to start forming a training coalition/volunteer crisis response team or whatever (this thing) and then this whole month went completely stupid as usual.
so anyway i still want to do that! i know everybody who replied thought it was a good idea and i am hoping to do the first meeting maybe in the first or second week of may and we just hope that the city is a lot less annoying next month.

maybe may 6th or something?

until then if you did not talk to me about this already and you're interested in training and organizing and being part of a crisis response team let me know.

if you already did, do me a favor and fill out the following so i can sort everybody? that would be helpful.

name:
age:
date you received the retrospec app:
abilities:
other skills/strengths:
do you work well with big groups or small groups:
other notes:

…anyway yeah! any other questions i guess you can ask them here.

i could always use people even for support operations or just strategy to be honest. i want to make this as inclusive as possible for anyone who wants to actually help.
what kind of skills do you have?

I was non-commissioned officer at the Air Force for almost a decade and a half. If nothing else, I can run drills, though I might be helpful here and there besides.

we can talk and see what else you can help out with, but running drills is a great idea.
i like everyone who's responded so far, but there are definitely some of us who could use the extra motivation to stay on track.

I can definitely help with all of those, so long as there's a modicum of trust in both directions in the whole thing.

I'll keep an eye out. Oh, and from what I remember, I'll probably be able to fly eventually, but I've no idea when something like that'll come back. But, for now, practical organizational experience it is.

that's the other thing i am hoping to work on. building trust between everybody, i mean. just because we all have the app doesn't mean we're all honest about what's going on.
dude really? sweet! i didn't get my ability to fly for a couple of months after i got the app and even then i was missing a ton of my abilities. you might have even more than you think.

The trust I mean tends to be a little more limited - knowing that the person beside you will have your back when it's needed, or will not mislead you when they give information, that doesn't necessarily include utter honesty - but there are ways to grow into that, so it is possible that more can be developed, too. The me from before hated himself for flying, so I'm assuming there are complications attached, but I'm still looking forward to it, I think.

yeah, i'm hoping one will lead to the other. my priority is the former but i tend to try the latter with most people i meet. i don't expect everybody to be that way though.
it's kind of a cool thing to look forward to. even if it means being a little impatient.

Sometimes, there are things for only a few others to know, not everyone. But a solid trust, to know each other's strengths and weaknesses and be able to work together well, is probably a solid objective. Yeah. Are there things you remember that you're looking forward to getting, or are you pretty much set?

as long as i can get everyone to agree on that part, the rest will be easy. the part of it being a solid objective i mean.
annnnd...no, not really. i know there are things i am missing but i am not sure i want those back at all, so i am happy with what i have! i know it is not up to me what i do and don't get back but if i get a choice i would say no.
