Those that know not,yet know not that they know not, are fools: Shun them.
Those that know, and know that they know, yet care not if you know, are Arrogant: belittle them.
Now with all that in advance, how many inches is your pace?
Is it the same when carrying a 66 lb Battle Pack?
How about 15 degrees downhill?
What about 15 degrees uphill?
What does it matter? Are you a walking target? Do they train shooters to expect a certain amount of lead at a normal walking speed? Is 15 degrees uphill or downhill part of a shooting resolution?
Before you get unhinged, every one on this forum owns a compass. What is the radial out your front door? (ie the bearing line your compass displays as you look out your front door)
Why is this relevant? Before the government gives you a rifle, you are required to pass a simple land navigation course. Before you go off about land navigation, did you have to get your compass to determine the radial out your own front door?
Those that silently have the answers to all the questions, Thanks for bearing with me. Those that want to beat thier own drums, this is the rhetorical section. Now the answer to the length of pace question in 30 inches Militarily, uphill, downhill, at the start of a 12 mile ruck, at the end of a 12 mile ruck, with or without 66 lbs of Battle Rattle.
More to come, once this sinks in. (Y'all wanted a little of a 30 year Military Career, here it comes)
If at any time there is a question about synthetic, (this probably being heavy on Sailors Lexicon) please feel free to question.
