Lol land nav can be tough. One time in AIT we had to use a PLGR to find points on base around the class. Problem is they moved the class to the other side of the base and forgot to move the points. So after a while when nobody had returned, they went looking for us. Hours and hours later we returned to a bunch of angry drill sergeants and when we explained where we went, the guy doing the class figured out what happened, and apologized. The DS’s felt bad and we got to eat at the officers DFAC because the plebs DFAC was closed.
But yeah being in the army, you had to have a certain level of openness. It definitely takes a certain kind of person. And that person isn’t generally a normie.
That seems like roughly an equivalent level of ‘mission failed due to leadership derpitude’ hahaha, obviously different in that its real world.
Yeah I’ve never used a real world PLGR, though I’m pretty sure ACE or an ACE submodule or something overhauled the AN/PSR-11s to make them work closer to how they actually do IRL, than in the vanilla game.
Having not been in the military, what I guess I mean by land nav is just: You have a compass, a map, and your eyeballs, you’re 14, exploring during a camping trip. I wasn’t even in scouts or anything… I just read some guides, including like old army field manuals from the 80s ish, probably?
But uh, you’re gonna have to explain DS and DFAC to me… I can only emulate things so far… so many acronyms that actual vets use, that I have no clue what they are =P

AIT is… Advanced Infantry Training? … ???
Ds= Drill sergeant, DFAC= Dining Facility, and AIT is advanced individual training.
Ah! Ok. I got… 2 out of three … for one them.
Works 60% of the time, 30% of the time lol.
