So you wanna be a on scene commander

Ohhhhhhhhhkay! It’s a long day. A day that starts at 3:30 AM most of the time. You get up. Have your breakfast and coffee or whatever you drink. Time to get ready for the day. At 6 am sharp you’re prepping your briefing for the morning. You’re briefing and meeting with your folks about 6:30. Sometimes earlier depending.



About 7 AM. You begin your day. Collecting information. Every time someone has a question or needs permission for something. They’re gonna come to you.


You’re gonna spend the day collecting information. Commanding people to their positions and whatever’s going on that they feel is concerning and coordinating people how to address the issue.



You’re in constant communication with everyone and everything on your team that day. You’re everything. You wear many hats. You’re always talking to someone.




Then after however long your day is of absolute mayhem. Now it’s time for debriefing and what’s going on throughout the day and planning some for the next day.


Then you get home and sift through all that you have and there are other responsibilities I can’t get into as well as doing a lot of lower level work when needed.



Then you got your downtime. To then go to bed. To get up 3:30 the next day to do it all over again!
