I use terrain association 99% of the time

We get a basic land nav class in basic training but when your in the real army you do a lot of land nav

Night land nav is always interesting because to not allowed to use a light only when kneeling down with a red light to see the map

That sounds frustrating as hell haha. I’m sure you’re pretty good at it then

I’m decent at it.

I’m comfortable doing it myself alone

Night or day

That’s a pretty good skill to have

It’s also a skill you can loose if you don’t practice it

You learn with one of these?

I picked it up after the class

Yep

Nice it already has a hole cutout and shaved edges

I rarely use my compass just map and protractor sometimes

Mainly use it for plotting

Land nav is my shit

Yea the protractor helps a lot. I appreciate learning how to use but, but like you said it’s knowledge you can lose

I love it

@Jedimind11[XB1] haha we got two land nav all stars here

Just get the garmin GPS stuff haha

Garmin Foretrex 401 Waterproof Hiking GPS https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002EOSQII/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_P.iiEbGRQD0D3

Garmin

I know like 10 kids who bought them straight out of AIT

Lmao

Bruh

90% of time were not even allowed to use them

Why?

How many times have I heard “no digital watches, phones, or garmins

Cuz privates, equipment fails

Gotta know how to do it without the equipment

Ah I get that no doubt

“Cuz privates.”
