EDITED to add: I was not Team bashing just pointing out that You need a good foundation in the basics and you can never have enough LandNav training. This is where More is always better. If you can not get to and from a TGT you can not send them to their maker. Back to the Basics is always good and Technology is not always a solution. Gentlemen get as much as you can and keep practicing it through out your time on a team and later in life.

Sounds like more of a P.A.C.E. issue. Remember studs always have a backup. Whether it is a plan, land nav route, weapon, compass (some say women too) always have a backup.
