He told them “you must find your own way to this beach head for 0600 tomorrow morning, there you will be tested like never before”. An Army ranger, Air Force P.J., Navy seal, and a Recon Marine. So he recruited 4 of the best he could find. Was looking for the best candidate to fill a spot on a field team.
The bad thing was it wasn't even my point some A-hole put a cem light on a tree.
The next morning we were sitting around and someone said Man I fell in the creek last night going to a point. Well, I fixed my mistakes for the night land nav. When I turned in my paper he said I don't know what this number is go to remedial training. I wrote down the number lit the cem light and then found the finish point. So for 3 hrs I'm not finding anything finally I come across a tree with a large white stripe painted on it and it had a dog tag with a number nailed to it. The sleep deprivation was getting to me and I plotted all my points wrong. Then on top of that, I held my protractor wrong when plotting. Well, I wasn't paying attention to what the points looked like I just heard him say they were painted with white stripes. It was the first day of land nav so it was really just orienting us. When you got to your first point you were to attach the cem light to the stake and light it for our night land nav course later on.
