Since you cannot get into 20th group and start training without first trying out, I thought that someone already in would be able to steer me in the right direction on some things. Mainly I dont know where to practice land nav, real land nav, where the points are more than 600m apart. The best person to help me on this is not the one starring back at me. Perhaps an orienteering club would be a good place to practice.

ReconGaelach,

I understand the desire for a mentor, but the QPs that I have been around all have an internal drive that allows them to get the job done, whether that is working-out or getting the mission done. Secondly, try doing landnav at your state HQ or find another unit in your area you can pair with in your free time for landnav, it definitely works (even if the points aren't 600m apart). Finally, be careful with what you say, the way you quoted TR about "the one starring back at me in the mirror" could bring you some hurt not only here....but in the future.

Best of luck.
