Marines cheat on Land Nav

[Major Lambda]

From August 28th.

Female Marine, also making counter - accusations from the current political climate. Careers are over I expect.

F.Y.I for all of you USMC folks. ---- M-L




"The Basic School for Marine Officers is reeling from a cheating scandal that involved six second lieutenants accused of wrongfully obtaining and sharing key grid points for the night land navigation course."

"To make matters worse, the investigation of the six second lieutenants was mishandled and resulted in an investigation of the investigators. The episode was further complicated by the alleged illegal confinement of *female officers and allegations of *sexual harassment. In the end, *numerous Marines faced discipline and one Marine’s claims of innocence led to a private polygraph test."


"The six officers accused of cheating are now facing administrative separation and two captains who conducted the initial investigation have received nonpunitive letters of reprimand, or NPLOCs. Meanwhile, top officials at TBS are making some changes to the course to eliminate the chance of similar problems in the future."

The only thing I struggled with in the Marines was land nav at school of infantry. I failed the first time and had to come in on the weekend for a remedial attempt. Then I deployed to SE Asia and then to Iraq and I learned that the map is not your master, but a guide. During SOI, I was paying too much attention to small details on the map and missing the bigger picture. Generally speaking, the best thing to do is to start big and work small. I was doing the opposite. Find a big terrain feature, orient yourself to it, and proceed from there. Don't get bogged down in the details.

Land navigation involves being "One Step Ahead" ( Pace count ) ; know what terrain feature you are on, and what your next, or upcoming terrain feature is. Also , double checking you azimuth with your next landmark , checkpoint, terrain feature.

So a bunch of chics were afraid of getting lost and cheated?

And these are to be officers?

We are done. Doomed.

Learn Arabic, Spanish or Chinese. It will come down to one of these.
