Officials TBS told Marine Corps Times that the school is now making changes to clear up any potential confusion regarding the rules of the night land nav course.
A chance to honor those who served: HUD-VASH landlords are part of the solution to ending homelessness among Veterans, who sacrificed so much to keep our country safe and free.
Contact your local housing authority for specific requirements. Lower the threshold: Consider renting units below the market rate to Veterans who were homeless. Get involved: Organizations like The Home Depot Foundation and Habitat for Humanity have programs and resources dedicated to building and renovating homes for Veterans.
Under HUD-VASH (VA Supportive Housing), eligible low-income Veterans receive a Section 8 rental voucher plus case management and supportive services from VA. Guaranteed income: See reliable monthly rental payments through the local housing authority and fair market rent on your property.

The difference between lieutenants and sergeants is basically the same as the difference between intelligence and wisdom. Now, we’re not saying that sergeants aren’t smart or that lieutenants aren’t wise, but they’re groomed with different emphases. Lieutenants are trained to value institutional knowledge.
Carrier Strike Group 10, a formidable naval force consisting of the Eisenhower, two cruisers, three destroyers and more than 6,000 sailors, set sail on deployment right after completing the Composite Unit Training Exercise, the Navy announced Thursday.
It doesn’t matter if the lieutenant actually knows their way around a land nav course, the stigma is still there. Like all sweeping generalizations, it’s not entirely true. Maybe the lieutenant was prior enlisted and has retained that particular skill. Maybe they were in the Scouts as a teen and picked up a few things.
Why the ‘lost lieutenant’ jokes actually have some merit. “You can’t spell ‘lost’ without ‘Lt'” is such an old joke in the military that Lieutenant George Washington probably had to halfheartedly chuckle at it to get his salty platoon sergeant off his ass. Yet, no matter how many times it’s repeated, we have to admit, it’s still kind of funny.
Three phases and 62 days of hell. This section named in honor of MAJ John Whyte who was taken from us on 04/17/05.
To practice land nav, the thing I have most fear of failing at RS, I am building a course myself. (Base doesnt have one). So far I have obtained a 1:50,000 military grid map of the area I am building it, and a PLGR from my supply Sgt. I plan on going to random points marking them with the PLGR, and doing randomn legs from these points.
The Marine Corps considers that cheating because the students were able to complete the course without demonstrating the key skills the course aims to evaluate: conducting proper land navigation. To make matters worse, the investigation of the six second lieutenants was mishandled and resulted in an investigation of the investigators.
The first student sending that text admitted to investigators that he had asked for and received the grid coordinates, but he also denied using them while taking the test because he believed they were “unreliable,” according to a command investigation obtained by Marine Corps Times.
Marines could be booted after cheating allegations. Six Marine officers are in jeopardy of separation after allegedly cheating on a navigation course. Six Marine officers are in jeopardy of separation after allegedly cheating on a navigation course.
According to the command investigation, TBS will now make two explicit restrictions prior to the night land navigation course. “First, no maps of any kind will be permitted.”. “Second, it will be made explicitly clear that no plotting or recording of grid coordinates will be allowed prior to or during the event.”.
The idea here is that students use their compass to find to their location. Training Command told Marine Corps Times that prior knowledge of the coordinates could make it possible for a student to identify the marked boxes on a map without using the skills the course is designed to test.
The female lieutenant spoke to Marine Corps Times on condition of anonymity. According to the TBS Student Academic Integrity Policy, it’s a violation for students to obtain coordinates of the boxes that dot the land nav course. Graded events also are strictly conducted as an individual effort, which means students can’t seek assistance ...
