I am a big fan of this one. I got issued one of these while doing an advanced land nav course last yeat and it is awsome. You can probably find it for less on another site but I was just trying to find an example.

That's the one I carry all time, except it is in mils. It is more in the field than home. Well, almost.
There is also the issued artillery prismatic compass, which is very accurate (20 mils), easy to aim, tritium illuminated.
But you don't have the same feeling as a silva style compass.
And the bearing is only in magnetic, so if you want to use it for nav you have to do the maths.
It is awesome at night though.
There are pictures of the said prismatic compass...
