ROTC cadets lost in land navigation course rescued
HONOLULU, Hawaii (Tribune News Service) Two Army ROTC cadets visiting from the mainland were rescued Sunday after spending the night lost in a jungle warfare course in Wahiawa.

Lt. Col. Curtis Kellogg, spokesman for the Army’s 25th Infantry Division, said two college students became lost while participating Saturday in land navigation training in Schofield Barracks East Range. The cadets were in the jungle operations training course, which is about 6 square miles covered with dense vegetation.


After the two failed to return by the allotted time at noon, the Army launched a search that included about 200 soldiers and Army vehicles and helicopters. Honolulu police and firefighters also helped, Kellogg said.

Failure is actually a good teacher.

While I was in we had a butter bar navigate us right onto an arty range, platoon sgt was real happy

And the sad thing is, they had GPS.

J/K, I don't know, but I wouldn't put it past a butter bar.

we never let the lt navigate, we would let them point on a map to where he though we should be going then we would go to where were supposed to be.

That's why it's called training. Besides, they had maps...they weren't lost, just mis-oriented.

Bet they can ID all 57 genders.
