If any of you have been to LDAC this week is a complete refresher. Nothing new and land navigation is no more challenging.
Mon-Tues- CLS training, if you are CPR or First Aid qualified....forget everything that you have ever learned. The army has a bit of a leg up on the medical field in trauma. The instructors were all in combat, two were doctors and one was a Special Forces medic for 10 years, they knew their stuff. Just pay attention most of it is common sense and or a refresher from LDAC. There is a written and hands on exam at the end of the instruction.
Wed-Fri- Land Navigation, there is no way to break it down, if you have done it once then you know exactly what to expect. You will get 4 practice runs on the course before you actually test, one is with your PL trainer (a CPT) and two with a buddy. There is only one test it is a day-night course beginning at 0500, so if you are worried about night land nav then you can just wait until the sun comes up and find your points. The course is really spread out and your points hit every corner of it, get ready to run if you want all 8 points. Most of the students got 6 (the minimum as of this cycle) but if you are settling for the standard thats on you. Make sure your boots are broke in because you are going to put some miles in.
