Not every moment in combat is action.

Mike Keevil shared a moment where rounds were coming down an alleyway, there was no clear target, no real cover, and nowhere to move.

And in that moment… all he could do was stand there and wait.

That’s a side of these experiences people don’t always think about... the moments where training, instinct, and reality don’t line up cleanly.

It’s not always fast. It’s not always clear. And it’s not always something you can control.

Check out the full conversation on 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 podcast. Mike's got some good stories from his time in the Marines.
