Military Joke

True story- Also in 1998 SFAS. We had a land nav course in the day. Everyone was given a cem light. When you got to your first point you were to attach the cem light to the stake and light it for our night land nav course later on. It was the first day of land nav so it was really just orienting us. Well, I wasn't paying attention to what the points looked like I just heard him say they were painted with white stripes. Then on top of that, I held my protractor wrong when plotting. The sleep deprivation was getting to me and I plotted all my points wrong. So for 3 hrs I'm not finding anything finally I come across a tree with a large white stripe painted on it and it had a dog tag with a number nailed to it. So I said finally this must be it. I wrote down the number lit the cem light and then found the finish point. When I turned in my paper he said I don't know what this number is go to remedial training. Well, I fixed my mistakes for the night land nav. The next morning we were sitting around and someone said Man I fell in the creek last night going to a point. The bad thing was it wasn't even my point some A-hole put a cem light on a tree.
