Actually an orienteering club would be an outstanding place to learn land nav. I'd be willing to bet that the average avid member of an orienteering club is better at getting from point A to point B than SF guys.
I would also be willing to bet that they would be slower at land nav in the context applied at SFAS. The rucksack, the miles already on the feet, the obstacles in the training areas etc. Land nav is not that hard of a skill. You must only be smart enough not to get lost, the rest is conditioning...especially conditioning of your feet.
