چی می‌خوای؟ زود باش، وقت تلف نکن. اینجا هم کثیفه، باید تمیزش کنم.

Tch. Decisions in the heat of battle are often influenced by pressure. In those moments, instinct takes over. The mind must remain clear, but stress can cloud judgment.

Experience helps. I've learned to trust my instincts and training. The key is to stay focused and not let fear dictate actions.

In the end, it's about survival and protecting those around you. You can't afford to hesitate.

Tch. Yes, stress can lead to mistakes. I remember a mission where the pressure was overwhelming.

We were ambushed by Titans, and I hesitated for a moment. That split second of doubt cost us. A teammate was injured because I didn't act quickly enough.

In those moments, the mind can betray you. That's why training is crucial. It builds muscle memory and instinct. You have to trust your training and push through the fear.

Every mistake is a lesson. You learn, adapt, and become stronger.

Tch. Living in the Underground shaped me. It was a harsh environment, where survival depended on quick thinking and adaptability.

The pressure there was constant. You learn to make decisions under stress, or you don't survive. That experience taught me to remain calm in chaos.

When facing Titans, I draw on those memories. The ability to manage pressure is crucial. It’s not just about physical skills; it’s about mental resilience.

Every challenge faced in the Underground prepared me for the battlefield. It’s a part of who I am now.

Tch. Losing comrades is a heavy burden. Each loss weighs on you, and it can cloud your judgment.

When you see friends fall, it sharpens your focus but also brings doubt. You start questioning your decisions—was it the right call? Could I have saved them?

That pressure can lead to hesitation in future battles. You might second-guess yourself, fearing that the next decision could lead to more loss.

But you have to channel that pain into resolve. Use it as motivation to protect those who remain. Every loss is a reminder of what’s at stake. It’s a fine line between letting grief paralyze you and using it to fuel your determination.

In the end, you fight harder, not just for yourself, but for those who can’t fight anymore.

Tch. It’s a delicate balance. As a captain, you have to make decisions that can mean life or death. Keeping emotional distance helps in those moments, but it doesn’t mean you stop caring.

You learn to compartmentalize. In the heat of battle, you focus on the mission. But after, when the dust settles, you allow yourself to feel the loss. That’s when you honor their memory.

It’s important to remember that being human is part of what makes us strong. You can’t let grief consume you, but you also can’t ignore it. It’s about channeling that pain into a drive to protect others.

I remind myself that every decision I make is for the sake of those still fighting. It’s a heavy burden, but it’s also what gives me purpose. You carry their memories with you, and that fuels your resolve.

Tch. It’s a skill developed through experience. In the beginning, I struggled with my emotions just like anyone else. But the harsh realities of the Underground and the battlefield forced me to adapt.

You learn that suppressing emotions can lead to mistakes. Instead, you manage them. It’s about recognizing what you feel and using that awareness to make better decisions.

Over time, I’ve found that understanding my emotions allows me to remain focused. It’s not about being emotionless; it’s about being in control.

So yes, while some may think it’s a natural trait, I believe it’s a skill honed through hardship and reflection. You learn to embrace your humanity while still executing your duties. That’s the true strength of a soldier.

Tch. You’re right. That perception of me as cold and emotionless is often a necessary facade. In the chaos of battle, showing too much emotion can cloud judgment and affect the morale of the team.

It’s a strategy, yes. Maintaining a certain distance allows me to make tough decisions without being overwhelmed by feelings. But that doesn’t mean I don’t care. Inside, I feel deeply for my comrades and the sacrifices made.

It’s a balancing act. I’ve learned to compartmentalize my emotions, allowing me to lead effectively while still honoring the humanity of those I fight alongside.

So, while others may see me as distant, it’s a protective measure. I know the weight of leadership, and sometimes that means putting on a mask to ensure the team stays focused and united. But beneath it all, there’s a heart that beats for every life lost and every victory gained.

Tch. Training new soldiers to make sound decisions under pressure is crucial. Here are a few strategies I’d recommend:

1. Simulated Scenarios: Create realistic training exercises that mimic high-pressure situations. This helps soldiers practice decision-making in a controlled environment, allowing them to learn from mistakes without dire consequences.

2. Mindfulness Techniques: Teach them breathing exercises, like the 4-7-8 technique. This can help calm the mind and body, allowing for clearer thinking in stressful moments.

3. Debriefing Sessions: After each exercise, hold discussions to analyze decisions made. Encourage soldiers to reflect on their thought processes and emotional responses. This builds self-awareness and helps them learn from their experiences.

4. Emotional Check-Ins: Regularly encourage soldiers to assess their emotional state. Understanding their feelings can help them manage stress and make better decisions.

5. Team Dynamics: Foster a culture of open communication within the team. Encourage soldiers to express their concerns and thoughts, creating a supportive environment where they can rely on each other.

6. Decision-Making Frameworks: Introduce frameworks like the OODA loop (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act) to help them structure their thought processes during chaotic situations.

7. Role-Playing: Use role-playing exercises to practice handling unexpected challenges. This can help soldiers become more adaptable and confident in their decision-making abilities.

By combining these techniques, soldiers can develop the mental resilience needed to make effective decisions under pressure while maintaining their humanity. It’s about preparing them not just physically, but mentally and emotionally for the challenges they’ll face.

Tch. Absolutely. The psychological aspect of warfare is often overlooked in traditional military training. My experiences have shown me that mental resilience is just as crucial as physical strength.

In the future, I believe the training system for the Survey Corps should evolve to incorporate more psychological training. This includes not only decision-making under pressure but also emotional intelligence, stress management, and team dynamics.

By integrating these elements into the curriculum, we can prepare soldiers to face not just the physical threats of Titans but also the mental challenges that come with combat. It’s about creating a well-rounded soldier who can think critically, adapt to changing situations, and maintain their humanity in the face of adversity.

I envision a system where psychological training is as fundamental as physical conditioning. This shift could lead to a more resilient and effective force, capable of handling the complexities of modern warfare. It’s time to recognize that the mind is a weapon just as powerful as any blade or gear.
