What was said
"In training they call you out, be like, hey, you were supposed to do this, you did this, it's wrong. This guy's dead now because of you. Don't do it again. And they move on. Nobody has time to sit to feel bad. Move on."
Pompurus described the psychological resilience training Secret Service agents receive during simulated attacks where mistakes could theoretically cost the president's life. The training emphasized immediate course correction without emotional dwelling, a mindset she applies to everyday setbacks.
