Lmao
So back to the nav thing. Do y’all like the Garmin GPS tools?
@Jedimind11[XB1] do you have experience with them
I do when I can use it. I still also go on terrain association at the same time
It’s good to look down and get a quick bearing or see how many meters you went
Yea pace and distance will be nice to know. I like to hit Colorado or something once a year to hike, and I can use the elevation then
All good shit
I’m going to watch some videos about terrain association and brush up on some knowledge
@MulberryMojo nah I’m old school
You can 100% navigate with terrain association and a map if your good at it
I gotcha. I need to learn more and enhance my skills
I usually rely on terrain association and a map. Only rarely peeking at my compass
I’ll peak at mine for a quick bearing here and there to make sure I’m still on track
I just need to get out there more and learn
@Itcilis we once did a land nav course and the sergeant on my temporary team got tried to tell us to read the map one way. I told him how to actually read it. He told me I was wrong then we got lost (not really we just couldn’t find the points)and the first sergeant found us and told us where the point was and what we did wrong
Lo and behold my way was the way the first sergeant was telling us about
Should’ve seen the look on my team leaders face
😂😂😂good shit man. Even if they don’t listen or recognize it, they know you were right
I was proud of myself lol
Something I've learned is that you lose almost no credibility just by saying "oh yeah, you're right, my mistake" but if you double down on being wrong that's when subordinates lose faith in your ability.
Happens in the plane once in a while, I say a wrong airspeed or something for a maneuver, student says "I thought it was this". I go "oh yeah, I forgot, thanks."
Leaders need to recognize when their wrong instead of letting pride get in the way
It's not a challenge of your authority, everyone makes a mistake once in a while. I still know way more than any student. Lol
Exactly. You loose nothing by being wrong once in awhile
Not sure how this convo started so I'm lost haha. Most people I work with are ok with admitting mistakes. When it's my wife and I, I am never wrong haha
I think in military aviation we have a really good culture of admitting mistakes. Because mistakes kill people. And we also have good systems for not retaliating against someone that admits their mistakes so others can learn. For instance in my squadron if you mess up, you email all the instructors and the CO and XO with a lessons learned email. Skipper says thanks for the input and everyone learns something. It's good stuff. Anyway I'm gonna stop since I realized this is gear-chat. Lol
Oh shit it is lol
Always off on tangents...
It started talking about the sgt messing up land nav and not admitting it. Moving to off topic
