Re: ...now I've got the pics.... and I need help putting some names t o them...

G'day Tom,

 >http://www.gtns.net/gzg/oldimages/dsm-1.jpg (SPG on the far left?)

I have absolutely no idea what that acronym means (the SG/DS discussions
on 
this list can be quite amusing as I try to fill in all the acronymns
that 
get thrown around), but if you mean the tanky thing on the far left then

I'm pretty sure its a Rommel light hover tank. Sorry I can't help you
with 
any of the others.

Cheers

Beth

Mike,

I gotta say there are problems with paces as measure. As Beth pointed
out,
everyone's paces vary. That can be quite problematic. Sometimes people
have
a heck of a time learning formation drill because of this difference. 

And can you imagine what 4'10" tall pygmy tribesmen would say about your
"standard pace"? Great bleedin' leap they'd call it! 

As I recall from a bit of CF land nav training, part of the trick to
good
land nav (other than having a good bit of skill with map, compass,
judging
reference points, and working in a team which really is the key) was to
pace
out a reference distance like a 100 m or a km or so and get a feel for
your
standard pace. Once you know what your standard pace is, on average, it
becomes far easier to navigate effectively (given that, for some sad
reason,
your GPS is conked). 

Even 120 ppm or 60 ppm can be quite fun to try to keep within +/-10%
when
marching. It takes a good sense of timing or lots of practice to get
this
plus or minus a pace regularly. Of course, this need for practice is
usually
generously granted (in place of that rather mundane and rather indulgent
activity known as sleep) by most infantry instructors I've met. They're
a
generous lot, when it comes to handing their recruits "growth
experiences"
or "self-improvment excercises". ;)
