The old military stereotype that lieutenants are\u00a0inept at land navigation\u00a0has circulated for ages.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

But a recent incident at The Basic School \u2014 a course for newly commissioned officers aboard Quantico, Virginia \u2014 may be giving it added credence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Six officers are now facing\u00a0expulsion from the Corps\u00a0following allegations of cheating during the land navigation portion of training at The Basic School, or TBS.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Marine Corps Training and Education Command, or TECOM, described the incident as \u201cmisconduct\u201d in an emailed statement to Marine Corps Times.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cThe six officers are being processed for administrative separation,\u201d TECOM said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

It seems this is not the first time, I doubt it will be the last.<\/p>\n

In May 2010, 13 junior officers were booted from the Corps after Marine officials found the young lieutenants had used cheat sheets to help them locate the land navigation points.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ok, I must come clean about the Lt. and map thing.\u00a0 By the time I became a Platoon Sgt I had already been to most training areas a dozen times.\u00a0 Chicken Road was no mystery to me.\u00a0 Roaming around 29 Palms CA can be daunting for anyone the first time.\u00a0 \u00a0I might have let a few of them wonder around a bit, but I only knew where I was because I had been there a dozen times while he had been pissing his life away with all that educational nonsense.<\/p>\n

I may have been lucky, but I served with some fine Officers.\u00a0 The entire story is HERE<\/a><\/p>\n

In a related story, it’s the job of the Platoon Sergeant to look after his Lt. so he can grow a pair and become a fine Officer and unrepentant Leader of Warriors.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

There is a great story on how a responsible Platoon Sergeant burps and changes his Lt. HERE<\/a><\/p>\n
