I’ve also heard that the land navigation course is difficult due to the brush and undergrowth ant truth to this?

PT, they will teach you the rest. Also hydrate. The humidity is nuts here.

The heat and humidity can kill. Land nav course isn’t terrible. Enough have been through that there should be trails.
They teach active component stuff that as guard dudes, even AGR guys like me, don’t or have never used. Learn what they tell you. People fail out academically almost every cycle.
I used to the the chief instructor for the IN BN that included MSLC. Now I work down the hall at MLC.

I didn’t see the second question. I don’t know much about the land nav course the RTI uses, but the brush and undergrowth gets intense at times. I seen one SPC doing land nav the other day and he looked lost and dehydrated. Please for the love of god hydrate. Lots of poison ivy, ticks, chiggers, snakes and poison ivy as well.

Cp Shelly is infamous for rattlesnakes! I worked at Range Control for 4 hrs and you would not believe some of the things I’ve been through and seen….especially how big the rattlesnakes get….
