I've decided to stay in "condition white" as the article calls it. I used to pretty much be perpetually at "condition orange", unfortunately I can't seem to stay in yellow, I either have to drop down or amp up and given that my life isn't generally in danger, I go for white

I never let my guard down. I know what and who is nearby.
