This has been a great thread for me. My concern has always been land navigation. I'm an 18x Candidate scheduled to report for SFAS in October. From those who have "been there done that," is the preparation I am to receive in Basic/AIT/SOPC sufficient for the land navigation course at SFAS?

I have wanted to get out and spend some time with a map and compass but I am not sure where to get a hold of a military grade map, nor have I ever spend time land navigating. I am afraid I would get myself lost.

Anywhere to get some early training??
