Most things I can practice with relative ease, but I don't really know how I can go about practicing any kind of land navigation of my own volition. I would like to get some night land nav experience as well. Any advice, or direction where to look would be appreciated.What is a good way to practice land navigation?2018-04-01T20:14:39-04:00SPC Private RallyPoint Member3503704<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I am attempting to brush up on my general "soldiering" skills while I'm still a student before I head out for RASP.

Now go find the link up point.Response by SGM Bill Frazer made Apr 4 at 2018 10:42 AM2018-04-04T10:42:11-04:002018-04-04T10:42:11-04:00SPC Private RallyPoint Member3521502<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>They'll teach you land nav at RASP prior to going to Cole Range. Honestly I wouldn't sweat it. Only two guys in my class failed Land Nav if I remember correctly, your biggest concern will be not quitting.Response by SPC Private RallyPoint Member made Apr 7 at 2018 2:06 PM2018-04-07T14:06:52-04:002018-04-07T14:06:52-04:002018-04-01T20:14:39-04:00
