On a lazy Saturday when there is no rush, no "Air Ops or IC".

Something which is regulalry noted during missions and evaluations is CAP personnel's general lack of urgency when prosecuting missions, this goes triple during "training", because "What's the big deal man? We'll move faster when the 'big one' hits..." except that people don't, because you fight like you train.
That said, we can act professionally - and one way to do that is to slow down, take our time, and cover our bases.

There is a significant difference between being "rushed" and "acting with the urgency a situation requires"."Taking your time", in a CAP context, often means stopping by the coffee machine on the way to briefing and discussing the latest Wing gossip.SAR is, by definition, an emergency. Life, property, or both are at risk, and crews from end-to-end need to act that way, whether it's a training mission or a real-world.People who find themselves being "rushed" are generally just not properly prepared.
