When moving from your seat to the POD, how long should that take?

• A. 1-2 seconds
• B. 6-10 seconds
• C. 3-5 seconds
• D. 10-15 seconds

Answer: (C)

Moving quickly and with control is the goal here. The three-to-five-second range is the sweet spot because it keeps you from wasting time while still allowing you to move smoothly and safely. It’s fast enough to respond promptly to orders or threats, yet slow enough to maintain balance, keep a low profile, and stay aware of your surroundings as you transfer to the POD. Focus on a direct, deliberate path with a short, steady pace, eyes up, hands ready, and minimal extraneous movement. If the distance is short, you’ll hit the lower end; if longer, adjust but aim not to exceed five seconds in a typical scenario.
