In this episode I review some of the land navigation tips I gave to my Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps Cadets and talk about how they can be helpful in navigating toward our life goals. 

Here is a quick breakdown of what they are:

•Plot your course on a map and plan any detours.
•Check the compass and map at regular intervals.
•Locate each bound before proceeding to the next checkpoint.
•Count paces and estimate distance.
•When the objective is small, allow for error.
•Stay strictly on the bearing.
•Bypass bad terrain going by a deliberate measured bearing.
•If the ground does not conform to the map - STOP
•Trust the compass and the map
•When you find yourself lost - go back to the last place that you were when you knew where you were.

I found myself reflecting on these Do’s and Don’ts and couldn’t help but notice these were also some pretty good life advice. Since I can’t resist a good metaphor, I recorded this episode.

Here is a link to episode 11 from season one, “Failure is not your enemy” where I talk about my own land navigation woes.
