Added DiffLines:
'''Basic Trope''': In a situation with emergency drills, such as the military, announcements in actual emergencies come with a disclaimer that this particular situation ''isn't'' a drill.
* '''Straight''': When an army station is being attacked, the captain says over a loudspeaker, "Action stations! This is not a drill!".
* '''Exaggerated''': The captain puts more emphasis on the situation's not being a drill than the actual instructions.
* '''Downplayed''': The announcements only have the "this is not a drill" message if an emergency happens ''during'' a drill. Otherwise, drills come with a disclaimer and any other emergency announcements are presumed to be real.
* '''Justified''': The captain doesn't want anyone to [[AndYouThoughtItWasAGame think the situation is a drill]], because if they did, they might be too casual about the situation or even ignore the siren.
* '''Inverted''': During a drill, the captain makes an announcement saying, "This is a drill!".
* '''Subverted''': The sergeant makes an announcement saying it isn't a drill, but then the captain reveals that the sergeant got it wrong and it ''is'' indeed a drill.
* '''Double Subverted''': Then, the station ''does'' get attacked, prompting the captain to say, "OK, ''now'' it's a real emergency!".
* '''Parodied''': The attack is very obvious, so the captain says, "This is not a drill, but you can probably see that".
* '''Zigzagged''': Nobody, not even the captain, is sure whether the situation is a drill or not, so various officers make conflicting announcements.
* '''Averted''': There aren't any disclaimers to any of the captain's announcements, so the soldiers [[ParanoiaFuel never know when it's a drill or not]].
* '''Enforced''': The announcement comes on before the reveal that the station's being attacked, so the "this is not a drill" disclaimer is there to let the ''audience'' know things are serious as well as the characters.
* '''Lampshaded''': "Yeah, we ''know'' it's not a drill."
* '''Invoked''': The captain puts a sergeant in charge of making announcements and says, "If the situation is not a drill, ''say so''. We can't afford any misunderstandings."
* '''Defied''': The captain considers letting the others know it isn't a drill, but then decides not to for fear of coming across as a literal CaptainObvious.
* '''Discussed''': "If it wasn't a drill, they'd say so, right?"
* '''Conversed''': "Do military announcements always let people know when it's not a drill, like in the movies?"
* '''Implied''': We hear the announcement, "This is not---" but then [[DisconnectedByDeath the captain dies]] or the loudspeaker stops working or the scene changes.
* '''Deconstructed''':
* '''Reconstructed''':
* '''Played for Laughs''': A snowball fight is [[SeriousBusiness treated like a war]] and one kid says, "Action stations! This is not a drill!" as a joke.
* '''Played for Drama''': The station being attacked is a serious situation.
* '''Played for Horror''': It's zombies who are attacking the station.
