she has been unable to perform even the simplest navigational tasks.

Slap a set of butter bars on her and hand her a compass and a map. She's got a commission.

Speaking as a former butterbar, I know where you're coming from.

Fortunately for the men in my platoons, I went to a school with a very demanding ROTC program. I had four years of small unit training, orienteering, etc., so my map skills were fairly proficient.

Map reading in Germany was a relative breeze, thanks to the small towns that dotted the landscape. Still, I spent plenty of weekends traveling the local area to ensure I was more than just "proficient".

LOL...some describe the 4th ID patch as "an aerial photo of four lieutenants with a compass all facing north."

(I did my 2LT time with 1st ID).
