Yes one large pepperoni with mushrooms, one works, oh and a democrat special: cheese, extra cheese, mushrooms, and tofu.

Seriously though, did you guys regrid your maps down to lower coords (my Dad was 2 tour vet and I grew up with Bragg maps) by drawing lines in important areas? The maps I have seen I could have mapped geology on, but would have never trusted a precise arty or air stike without modification.

The standard military tactical map is 1:50000 scale. Each grid is a square kilometer. To figure out your 4-digit grid location, read bottom, then side; e.g., NK4578.

To figure out your 6-digit grid, eyeball it or use a square protractor to get NK455785.

To get your 8-digit grid, sharpen your pencil and get out your magnifying glass to get NK45527857.

They don't use paper maps near as much as they used to. They have GPS and Plugger and Blue Force Tracker displaying information electronically.
