1.) Condition yellow at all times when I am in contact with strangers, and mentally sizing-up any potential BGs, such as Overman or doubleaes2 ( )
2.) I occasionally go with the military look (black t-shirt, olive drab pants tucked into combat boots).
3.) I take Martial Arts (brown belt in Kenpo Karate, some experience in Thai Kickboxing, Brazilian Jujitsu, and Philipino knife and stick fighting).
4.) My normal face is an expressionless stare that tends to make people nervous (I am working to rectify this, as it can put a damper on my social life)

All this is to make up for the tactical disadvantages of:
1.) Being only 5'7" and weighing in at 140 lb.
2). Being only eighteen, and looking several years younger than that.
