Default OT: An Oh Neat! moment
I joined the Military Book Club, and while cleaning up my room, I went through the box my first shipment of books came in and found an old friend -- a Mil-Spec lensatic compass! I haven't had one since I gave mine to my replacement right before I was moved to Medical Hold. I have no need for one, but it's still neat to have!

Nice one. Its always nice to turn up an extra bonus, and a compass is always useful to have.

Except for periods of low magnetivity before a Geomagnetic reversal.

Cool! I found a water damaged box in my shed and it had my old MCI on land nav it was ruined, but I found the protractor they issued for land nav. All we need now is a 2nd Lt with a Map and we are set for an adventure!

Well, you know what they say...the only thing more dangerous than a Lieutenant with a map and a compass is one with a map, compass and weapon. And the only thing more dangerous than that is a Lieutenant with a map, compass, a weapon, and a plan!

Magnetic pole reversal, that's a potential T2K background!

Then you need a wristwatch with hands that is keeping the right time, and daylight.
