Subject: Basic map reading and land nav skills
ArtyEngineer    3/18/2009 8:40:51 PM
All, I just spent a good hour this afternoon teaching basic map reading and land nav skills to a bunch of guys who "REALLY" should know this stuff like the back of their hands!!!! Is the prevelance of GPS and other navigational aids totaly diminishing our ability to go back to basics when the need arises. These guys had no idea how to take the 8 digit MGRS format grid they were provided and put it into the full 13 digit UTM format!!!! I was very very disturbed by this!!!!

Of course!...;) I posted it on your behalf for others. The way you explained it, you could have written the book.
