SA to me is a simple observation of what is going on around me. No great big production, but then again I've spent a good deal of my "on duty" life being aware of all kinds of things.
If you are on familar ground, go with your "feelings", instinct can be your friend. If it doesn't look good/right, it more than likely isn't.
When on new/strange ground, low and slow if possible. Take your time and observe. Use ALL of your senses (example: Hey, thats dope I'm smelling... from the back of the parking lot.... find someplace else to park, honey.) I always try and relax when I'm in a new enviroment, really helps you blend in. When you blend, you have a better chance of spotting trouble before it spots you.
And always, ALWAYS... (did I mention always) plan a way out of where ever you are to some place you know is "safe" Be prepared to get out of trouble faster than you got into it.
