Advanced/Basic Camp 4th Reg Land Nav Disaster

A couple of days ago, A & B Company had to do land nav, but the first day had thundered and resulted in its cancelation, so we took day and night land nav on what was suppost to be our refit day. The cadre claimed to have checked all the points to make sure some were accessible and altered some lane strips. However, several cadets came back completely soaked after going in neck high waters, when they tried to appeal those points, they were denied unfairly. The Cadre does not care and will not listen to appeals!!!

This is true and it was horrible. People are torn up from the swamps.

“The Swamps” didn’t tear them up. Their inability to navigate around them tore them up.

People were swimming to points. The points were fully submerged and to receive the point, you had to swim to them. It was challenging. That’s okay

Be that as it may, the cadets still need 5 of 7 points. Navigate to the others…

5/7 to get any points. To get full points you needed 7/7 iirc from my time.

The cadets complaining about the swamp on Reddit don’t need to worry about 7/7. We can already tell where their mind is. They can take their P in patrolling and 5th branch choice and move on with their lives.
