What are the best tools to get ready for WLC?

It is the responsibility of your leadership to ensure that you are ready to go. I would suggest that you get in as much training as possible. Land navigation can make or break you in PLDC. But you can do it if you pay attention and listen to the instructors. they will help if you ask. But ask you leaders, they should be more than willing to set aside some time for you to train.. Land navigation is probably the hardest subject in WLC/PLDC so prepare yourself as much as possible.

The SGLS will teach you land nav and they will break it down in very simple terms. One of the best classes I had on land nav was from my WLC instructor and he was a laundry specialist. Pay attention to the class and use the study groups to your advantage. Everyone in my class passed the land nav from the infantryman to the chaplain assistant. Follow the trails as many of these points are at the end of these trails. Some WLC courses for land nav have self correcting points so each point has a grid written on it so you know if you are on the right track. Good luck and don't stress it but is a good idea to ask people around your unit or any of the infantry units for help. We helped out our medics on land nav intructions before their EFMB and all passed their land nav.

Really everything can be learned in class there and you can succeed if you pay attention. But I suggest getting drill and ceremony down as well as Army PRT. Get used to public speaking as well.

Study your land nav skills. Everything else should be a breeze. This is the first step in a long line of NCOES.
