#4 My last unit had an LT that managed to get lost with a plugger. Listening to him try(unsucessfully!) to read off his grid to the BN TOC is one of the funnier memories I'll keep to my last day. Of course, as the Signal Guy, I had to eventualy go out and find him. and give him a remedial class in Plugger and map using.

The next day he got lost again. Its a good thing none of us were combat arms, and did not have ammo.

#5 When I'm flying my plane cross country, I always plot my course on the map every 15 minutes, in case the GPS winks out. It did, once, over a cloud deck. The antenna went bad. No problem. Dead reckoned a course and did pilotage on the way home. Assume your box of miracles will go tango Uniform and plan for it, and you will live to a ripe, olde age, heh heh.

#6 a question: What's "Tango Uniform?" I presume it's T U something, but what? Somebody please translate?
