In 17 years of taking the online DoD antiterrorism course I still can't remember if I'm supposed to lie prone or crouch if someone throws a grenade into my cubicle.

Remember folks. The boy for your American independence did warn you. ((If the liberties of the American people are ever destroyed, they will fall by the hands of the clergy.)) Marquis de La Fayette!
Oh well. Get ready for the witch hunts
Just be a maga republican and sanction the manufacturer. Seems to be the only they have after their religious politics brought religious terrorism to our doors!!!
Hope it helps!
I think the "duck and cover" advice from the cold war is outdated.
If you lie prone, facing away from the assailant, his grenade will have a lower cross-sectional area to hit. And getting shrapnel in the ass is much less dangerous than receiving it in the brain!
The "terrorists" are just like you, but not born into the global military hegemon. Nothing has caused more terror than America. See Dresden, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq etc. tens of millions of innocents killed, but its not "terror" because you were WHITE and in power
I had a spell at NASA, and in preparation for my first international trip, I had to take a lot of that training. Bomb detection, evasive driving, self defense, etc. I just kept thinking, 'guys, I'm going to an academic conference on the French Riviera. This is not necessary.'
Claude 3.5 Sonnet has no answer for this besides quoting an active shooter drill, so my guess is you die in either position. Unless you jump on the grenade and become a hero in a valiant death.
The only advice I remember is from the anti-drug course - “remember to write GHB on your hand if you take GHB so the paramedics who find you know what you took.” 🤦🏻♀️

Korea: Invaded by North and Chinese, so weird point
Vietnam: Yes, bad
Iraq: Yes, bad
If it's concrete, you're pretty much FUBAR'd if you do either.
