hi:
it seems like there are always shows on tv about seals, so i have another question. with all of the high tech stuff like gps and cell comm, do seals receive training in navigating using a compass if all else breaks down? as always, thanx in advance for your input...

YES. WE ALWAYS TRUST THE COMPASS. TODAY THE GUYS USE GPS BECAUSE IT IS ACCURATE AND EASY - BUT TECHNOLOGY IS NOT TO BE TRUSTED IN THE FIELD...THUS THE NEED FOR A MAP AND COMPASS - AND A BRAIN TO KNOW HOW TO USE THEM PROPERLY.
