Special Operations Preparation - Pace Count

[@ericfermin8347]

I still remember hitting that last attack point taking the star exam, having 100 meters to go to the point, staring at the lensatic and counting to 62, and there at my feet was the jackass under a poncho. Sweet victory. I shouted "fuck yeah" and the guy made me do 100 pushups for talking too loud. I made sure I counted very loud to help any poor lost soul who the draw monsters were attacking that night.

Thanks platoon daddy

The terrain and advice was sound. Top Tip. My training team taught me to use a distance of 500m in a single line when counting your paces. Divide the actual paces taken by five. That way you were going to get a more accurate count. You could also wear your marching order or fighting order when conducting this exercise.

[@TheActiveAssault]

Brilliant. It's the average of five counts. Much smarter.

[@yu-ger-bloob-highway3521]

Something I like to do because I can lose count if I’m distracted, is I also use my watch and time how long it takes to walk that distance. Start a timer and pause every time you stop moving. If you can’t remember how many 100m or K you’ve gone you can pause your timer and quick math can double check your exact meters and Ks.

Personally, what I do is count my paces with whatever your average load it going to be in your main environment. Count out over a 100 meter span on even (road, man made path etc) uneven (through the woods) then up hill and down hill. Take the average of all four of those, it then will give you a generalized pace count no matter your terrain. Obviously this is gonna vary on mountains and very brush filled areas but do your best.

Why don't you have a cover on outside?

[@HotelCharliHill]

This is how the Us Army qual's millennial recruits - they watch videos in class and get 'checked off' the list, they're just expected to know it after. I'm now SOF Qual'd for 100 meter pacing and land navigation.

bro you typing all these comments but stay making vids with 2 views focus on yourself

[@HotelCharliHill]

@@mattybserbia What?

[@HotelCharliHill]

@@mattybserbia Ha, dude, I turn OBS on while I play games just in case people want to talk. that's how NOT selfish I am - playing video games, specifically single player games, locked away in a house when there are a world of people out there needing to talk to someone is what's selfish. That's why I stream while playing. I'm not on here trying to pretend I'm a big youtuber. Meanwhile, I made a joke. Too bad your english is so bad you don't get it. Who have you helped lately Mr. Altruism?

[@tonythies1827]

This seems like it would be helpful nearly... we’ll never really. Unless your AO is a flat unobstructed field or road. But even then... why wouldn’t you just use time and speed. You guys must get board as hell. And where in the f is your cover sergeant? Sloppy

[@gunsmoke3301]

He doesn’t give a fuck about meaningless rules, shitstain

[@whatever9042]

This guy taught it Terribly. Sad cause he teaches tactics for a living.

[@AM-rq1no]

He wears a SF patch, do you Mr. Keyboard warrior?

[@SolZaer]

This was an overview. At Basic they teach it but in reality its a skill that just requires trial and error and experience. Txtbooks can get you so far in the woods.
