Military Lensatic Magnetic Compass

Here is a link to the user manual for the lensatic compass and some additional land navigation tips from a FM about the compass.

Interesting "manual." but obviously written for the novice civilian.

For example, the fact that the bezel of a mil-spec compass has 120 grooves around the perimeter, thus making one click equal to 3 degrees, is not mentioned.

The definition of a mil (more correctly, a US/NATO mil of 1/6,400 vs. the Soviet/Warsaw Pact mil of 1/6,000) is not covered.

The definition of "Grid North" is incomplete and misleading.

You might post this to the SFAS board RE: Suppl;ements. It would be more beneficial than a body full of drugs,:D

Yup!! Candidates are so wrapped up in PT they forget what soldiering is. Actually I'll do it and suggest a course in orienteering as being more bemeficial than "protien". :lifter
