The Grayman Doctrine
Encrypted payments processed through trusted providers. We never store your card details.
Uncovering the secrets of operating gray in a non-permissive environment. Being gray simply means blending in with your environment by imitating the behavior and appearance of the majority of those around you. It’s easy to see how this technique could aid an undercover agent or special operator working a case or mission, but we want to stress how practicing the principles of a Grayman can aid the everyday civilian in avoiding conflict and emerging threats. The Doctrine will lay out standard operating procedures to create a new baseline of awareness and a prepared mindset.
AKA: Nomad, Urban Survivalist, Grayman, Prepared Civilian.
Purpose: To provide the skills and mindset to navigate in a non-permissive public environment that would potentially expose you to harm or divulgement of sensitive information.
