Can you guess what this would be used for ?

Attachment 49351

I used to love compass and map reading courses. I particularly liked looking for the idiots who were just sure that they knew better and that the compass was wrong.

That made me laugh. I've seen that too - and the quizical looks on their faces when they can't work out why it doesn't work.

I saw them doing it on a friggin' tank once!

Not being able to read a map is bad....but not as bad as not being able to read at all.

Well Brian one would hope they allowed for the magnetic variation on the tank, the most dangerous thing is the one Bruce describes but with ammo as well they think they are surrounded all the time and open fire in any direction that takes their whim!!

Nah..............that would have been an imaginary stealth tank made out of anti armour piercing reinforced cornflakes packets.......no worries:dancingbanana::dancingbanana::dancingbanan a::thup:

Cripes Gil now the Aussi MOD will want to buy one just will not be able to use it in the wet season up North you know as the cardboard would go soggy :madsmile::D:rofl
