Land Navigation

We did a land navigation exercise a few weeks ago at work. We spent the first few hours in the 'classroom' going over how to plot points and use the navigation compass and protractor and such. The second half of the training involved us going out to a empty area of land on base with mostly just a lot of overgrown grass and weeds and a few clumps of trees to try out our hands at land navigation. In groups of three, we were given point on a map that we had to find in the grass/trees. It was relatively easy, but fun to get out of the office. I also had to get a sweet new set of camis and a set of combat boots for the event. Everyone else in the office said I should wear them everyday because they're sooooo comfy. I beg to differ, and I also enjoy feeling like a female in my little khaki skirt instead of swimming in the giant camouflage uniform even though I got smalls in everything. Clearly they were not made for women!
