Land Navigation is an important skill to have as an Army Soldier. Everybody should know where they are in the world, but as a brand new trainee you can get lost in the sauce. As I stalk trainees who are learning that skill, I see them make crucial mistakes that plagues every beginner. Angry Drill SGT shares the mistakes in real time out in the field.

Why do I have a feeling that the crack house drove him crazy and hes just walking in the woods imagining trainees getting lost
The fact that he bought the crack house proves a preexisting condition.
@@jgallagher3031 the preexisting condition was hallucinations from those god damned malaria pills
Part 10 of Stalking Privates we have come up to a small house.......... Me "Um Drill what are you doing in my backyard?"
The glove they dropped was just a random one he found
We need Basement Jesus to save him.
That old lady used to be special forces, she knows these woods like her spice cabinet
I'm ded
And she can rehab a crack house
She's also the one that beats the 💩 out of you at Camp Slappy.
Little do you know, the woods ARE her spice cabinet.
🎵seen an old lady walking down the street , she had a ruck on her back and jump boots on her feet🎵
This sounds less like a drill sergeant stalking privates and more like a dad just making sure his kids don’t get lost or hurt.
Just think of drill sergeants as hyper agressive dads :P
dads at baseball practice
Second verse same as the first
It's the exact same thing.
In reality that's kinda how drill sgts are behind the obvious stern front they put on, just remember that they're all humans just like us lmao
"We did some corrective training" they were never seen again
"were", were never seen again. Glad to see the Marines are still watching. 😀

(@@timothysomers2489) oh?
This only happens at Ft Hood.
Part 3963: They plotted their course by spinning 3 times and just fuckin sending it.

@@MrDylanm842 it’s not incredibly difficult but you don’t know what you don’t know and if you don’t follow direction or pay attention you’ll get lost real quick.
I'm learning land nav right now, it's not super complicated but you need to be very precise in what you're doing, one misstep and you end up miles from where you should be.

Creepy man with a camera
The phrase everyone fears during Land Nav- “Show me on the map where you think you are.”
I once had a cop pull that on me. Turned out, he didn't know where he was.
Aaa fuck my worst enemy. A popped quizzed
"Like I think we are somewhere on the backside of the map?"
Never had that problem. Got slightly lost because I was tired of arguing with an idiot teammate in the Boy Scouts orientation event we were attending.
After idiot got lost (two ranks younger than me, shouldn't I have authority? Been there twice before...don't I get seniority?), I took back the map and compass, and wandered a little as I tried to place myself on the map again.
I was already set up on a return trajectory before the search team found us.

“Part 228, I’ve been following the privates after we rescued them and gave them a gps in an open field, we’re somehow in the Czech Republic”.
Part 300 of stalking privates, we set up a course with neon signs in an open field and even a guide wire from point to point... They failed to reach even the first point
Part 690 of stalking privates: We managed to get them back from their course to Pluto and are hoping we can aim them somewhere to Mars and see if they can figure it our from there.
One of our DS's was a sniper and made a ghillie suit out of the foliage during our land nav course and stalked my battle and I. Imagine being stalked in the middle of the woods, pitch black, raining, and the bush ten feet behind you starts calling you a retard because your battle shrieked when he stepped in a two foot deep puddle...
😂
Love that description haha

"the bush behing you starts calling you a retard LOLLL🤣🤣🤣
so walking bush wasn't suspicious before it started to talk, it's look like basic training should include course about mother nature.

The smartest one of them died and now the rest are dead too
"3 of the privates did it right and didn't say anything"
the privates wanted to know how long it'll take the rest of the group to know that they are lost.
@SCN Exactly why I avoided group work in school. Washington said it best, "A job that can be done by one person is seldom done better by two, and hardly gets done at all with three or more." I may have paraphrased slightly, but roughly that. But basically this phenomenon was so common among the "smart" kids, it drove me crazy: ua-cam.com/video/5xY6pifzvtk/v-deo.html . For the "smartest" student, it was so bad that on knowledge bowl she was the team speaker (over my objections) and would refuse to enter a guess once the whole question was read and all other teams had put forward an answer (for the record, there is no penalty for wrong answers except literally her own pride). Rigid and orthodox, and all too often still wrong because they used the wrong rule of thumb anyway.
Case in point: For communication, we had to do presentations in modes of communication. As usual, I worked by myself instead of with a group. I immediately asked to do self-presentation because I had a plan. I got the basic information down, and to fill out the remaining slide count and minimum time for the presentation, I actually setup up a questionaire where I would set up a situation and show three different ways someone could present, and I had three categories of questions (cars, clothes, and posture). The question would be either "who do you choose" or "what do you think about this person" in each case. Some I was trying to make a point, but others I genuinely was just curious what my classmates would answer. Because I was confident I understood it, it was completely unscripted, so it only took 15 minutes to setup. Could have done it in 5, but I decorated it so as to not make it look like I put no effort in. We had ever hour in class for that week to get it done. Most groups weren't done by the end of the week, I'm sitting there playing flash games on the computer the whole hour (with permission), and he gives the other students a one week extension. Basically another 7 hours of flash games for me. When my presentation was over, my teacher asked what the best posture was in life. My answer was that their is no best posture across all situations, putting your feet up on a desk and leaning back on your chair will get you thrown out of an interview, but will help guests feel at ease if you have invited them over for a party. I got 100% and everyone positively loved my presentation. It was fun and I demonstrated very clearly I knew what I was talking about. As for my classmates that took the week extension, many couldn't pronounce the words from the abstracts they regurgitated. When asked what it meant, they hadn't a clue. Many of those students didn't do so well, including the "smart" ones.
@@101jir dude what are you talking about? How is this related you anything mentioned at all?
@@funkykong5740 "The idiots are the ones who talk the most and give the orders." That's a life thing in general. Empty barrels make the most noise. They repeat without thinking. Showing another place in society where this happens.

@@funkykong5740 what validation in a crowd leads to. By being authentic. An authenticity culture, (as opposed to an honor culture, dignity culture, sincerity culture or profilicity culture) teaches people to care about being authentic, intellectualism and empiricism, the truth, and your impatiently low-effort and brusquely fuliginous attempt to engage him is profilic in a bad way. The opposite of authentic culture would be profilicity culture, being profilic, caring more about profile and persona, seeking validation as a goal and way to gain something.

I was infantry for 10 years and if you put me back at Basic Training land nav I'd have to write my last will and testament because you'd never see me again.

But you know that, they don't :)
As long as you found the plane.

"We did some corrective training", a little ol foot in the ass never hurts.
Well it hurts the person receiving it, but I guess that's the point

Seems like it would always hurt
The actual joy that beams from his face and twinkles from his eyes when he anticipates failing someone. I love it, it's fascinating. I would be terrible at this job.
A recruit failing is the best thing for him or her. If they succeed it may have been dumb luck, if they fail, after the ensuing “pit call” they are highly motivated to pay attention to instructions and learn how to do it correctly.
@@jmsmeier1113 exactly. Same thing in healthcare. Bust a new provider on something that is really, really, really dumb but they just don't know it yet...well, they will NEVER mess that up again. Ever encounter a nurse or doctor who is obsessed with blood glucose levels or signs of diabetes? Thats a provider that either nearly, or successfully, killed someone by ignoring something people who know better wouldn't.
“Hey guys guys, there’s a path over here!”
Everyone else, “No, that can’t be right.”
Yeah then i chased those motherfuckers down and we went back the right way. It didnt help that they were running i think they were trying to get lost
itsa trap!
Umm there isn’t a path on the map here 🤔
Most of the time you are not allowed to use paths. Good places for ambushes.
@@peachesrambo4037 he said they were 10 feet next to the path going through shrubs and fallen trees, so still could be ambushed
I felt bad when we as 11 year old scouts struggled at our orienteering and stuff. This makes me feel better
Same my guy. I thought my troop always had it tough during this stuff
Same here lol, anyone that’s been in scouts already has most of the skills for outdoor navigation and survival
Yoooo did you eagle out? I did😁
Oh yes the memories of scouting and the first time trying to navigate by a compass for the first time. Our scout leader was an E7 US Army type and managed to find all of us before night fall.....
Lol every troop has problems with it
I seriously want "Stalking Privates in the Woods" to become a series. Maybe with a few explanations of the terminology for us civvies. God damn I love this video. Can they even use a paper road map?
So we use a map on the area, a compass, and a protractor. That’s all you need. Super easy if your not dumb. Hardest part is actually following the degrees necessary. I would usually just use terrain marks and paths on maps to get a rough estimate where I needed to be and shoot a route to my point from there. If it was a long road with bends I’d count the bends I needed to get closest and get to my point quicker. There are stuff to make it super easy that I used that I wasn’t taught 🤷🏻♂️ I found some cool ass shit tho on those land nav courses.
@@Bootyeatter6969 Never done a course on land navigation, but went hiking cross country. Jk, look at the map. find something that looks like interesting on it and then walk there on a semi direct way, whether there's a path or not. (also had a land nav event in school which my group got disqualified from cause one guy insisted on checking in on the wrong mark...) I rarely use a compass and often don't even take one. I've always been in situations with enough land marks to not need it. If you have decent maps, that foot path in the video is going to be on them, for example. You can also get a rough idea which way you're facing from the sun. Only time I'd need a compass would be in a forest without any roads or paths, a desert or steppe, or if the visibility were really low.
"I seriously want "Stalking Privates in the Woods" to become a series." Yes, but make it an erotic play on words.
@@Bootyeatter6969 you’d think it’s easy until you try and teach it to a bunch of ROTC cadets and they try to shoot an azimuth through a lake and the woods on the other side of that lake. I asked them what they were doing and they said, “We are gonna go to where we’d come out on the other side and go from there.” I replied how bout we use attack points and the hardball instead. Proceeded to have a hip pocket class all about using the terrain to your advantage.
blair witch land nav project lol
"They followed the north arrow." And THIS is why you teach children to use a compass, holy hell!
I agree! I don't know about other school systems but I was taught how to use one in middle school by a math teacher. She took the class outside & we used an actual map & compass to learn.
@@naiaddore1797 I honestly only know because my mom taught me how they work. Everyone in school was just "Oh, It'Ll AlL bE dIgItAl, WhO cArEs?" Ain't how that works chief! If power goes out, I want to be able to plot a course.
I'm not even an outdoorsmen or anything but I know that the arrow on a compass leads north lol
@@spartanhawk7637 At least you'll know whom not to go to in the unlikely event of things going to hell in a handbasket 😂
You can trim a plane, but you can't trim a magnetic compass.
Many compasses have a little ring around the edge, with a mark that you can turn to any position. (Maybe that's the azimuth he talked about).
If you want to, you can start facing into the direction you want to go, look at your compass in your hand, and then set the mark on the ring to where the needle is showing North. Now you know that whenever the mark is aligned with the needle, you just have to move straight ahead. (But only if you always hold the compass in the same way.)
I assume they thought that it somehow makes the needle point into a different direction than North. And you could actually build a compass like that. But I assume they have a simple regular magnetic needle, so nothing of that fancy stuff.

With his content, he should be in a mini series being filmed in Mexico right now as we speak. A bunch of redpilled vets that left the states after DEROS. And now they are all firefighters living in Puebla. Ask me how I know. Seriously, anyone know how to contact him?
For the civilians here, “We did some corrective training” roughly translates to “I made them exercise until their eyeballs started bleeding for being idiots”
As a civilian, I heard him say "smoked" when he said it.
Does that make me an overachiever, or a rat?

Just to clarify for everyone thinking he's going crazy. It's likely that Angry Cops is running an RSP Drill that is doing land nav exercises at a local park/nature reserve in this video.
RSP is a program where trainees/privates/specialists (if Officer Candidates) who have signed for the National Guard, but have yet to go to basic will do monthly drills at their local armory run by a Drill Sergeant and recruiters to prep them for basic. It covers everything from Army values, creeds, drill and ceremony, combat formations, medic skills, tactics, land nav, and a lot of other things covered at basic. Of course, there's also plenty of PT and some smoking involved as well.
It's actually a great program that really helps recruits get through basic. By far, the most squared away recruits upon first arrival at boot camp tend to be National Guard recruits who have done a few of these compare to Active Duty recruits who just signed a contract and was thrown on a bus.
RSP, that thing Nasty Girls attend and then have to be retrained on everything they learned wrong... I remember the idiots from the bloody bucket who came to basic with Ranger Diamond haircuts and ribbons on their BDUs. Boy was that a shit show in the pre-shark attack days.
These recruits should have asked the old lady where to go.
Use all available resources!
Years ago when I was in the Army land navigation was the hardest thing for me. I got lost in an epic way. It was raining like hell. I was in mud a foot deep Kentucky mud. I did find a huge tortoise, so I followed him. He probably had a better idea where he was going than I did. LOL!!!

When I was a kid, “stalking my privates in the woods” had a very different meaning.
lmao
When i was in the Marine Corps as a L/Cpl, we had a platoon sgt that was former recon. He would set up three day land navigation courses. The check points were where you got food and water resupply. Miss the time mark, miss a meal. The last point was your pick up point. Miss that walk back to the barracks. Granted they never lost any one. Had to love the 80's in the Corps.
Part 29: We are in Canada now....
I remember land nav wasn't much of a problem. Grew up in Montana and was a hunter. If you get turned around out there you're going to be lost for a VERY long time.
Learned really fast never to finish points and show up early. You end up getting messed with. I'd find the minimum points then go find some miserable thick brush, find a downed tree then bury myself under some leaves up against it. Set a watch alarm giving me the opportunity to get back with 30 min extra. Don't do it at night because the NCO's like their IR's.
What drove me nuts (Fort drum) was that quite a few of the points were off by about 1/2 a kilometer. Found one after giving up on a point and moving to the next. It was over klick away from the mapped location. I was ahead of schedule so I double checked my location, (it was over a klick off), routed to a local attack point, and paced my way back to confirm the corrected location. It was almost a klick and a half off from the location provided. lol.
And that's when Specialist Shamalot was born.
How much Shut-eye did you get out of that? Also did you get caught by an NCO at night or were you smart enough and didn't even try it?
What is that pfp????
North where in Montana did you live
Had a few points at a land nav course at Benning that are like that as well. Spent entirely too long looking for just one point I know I plotted correctly. Ended up making it back and had a couple NCOs plot it as well to try to help me figure out what I did wrong....
“Everything you did was right, I don’t know where that point is”
🤦♂️
@@JainZar1 Depended on how quickly I could find the points. 2-3 hours; sometimes less depending on the points.
The NCO's and the TL had just got their new replacement IR's and people were itching to use them. Pretty obvious they'd be "testing" them out.
EIB games.
This is what teachers think when they are walking around the classroom.
That's what scientists think about teachers.
Doctor: camouflaged private hunter isnt real it cant hurt you
Camouflaged private hunter:
:exists
Imagine having him as your drill Sargent
I’d rather get a hysterectomy by Edward scissor hands
I’d rather put my hand in a garbage disposal
He acts way different
@@BuzzinVideography LMFAO
I know that but I meant when he is in his uniform
I would love for him to do a stalking video at Wal-mart. Just randomly stalk one person and judge what they buy.
I'd watch it...
Hahahaha oh god im dead... that needs to happen

About 2 months ago. We went to the field and we did land nav. There was a group of 2 guys walked into a beehive. They were laying on the cots in the tents for like a day or 2 on pills.
I dont know if that's better or worse than the group that hit a giant patch of poison sumac when we did ours.
Did they throw rocks at it first?
my uncle was bulldozing trees out at his plot of land long story short he pushed the wrong trees and we made him go to the hospital for the over 100 stings to his face i dont blame them for getting cot rest.
When i was at Benning, we were in 3-man teams for our first land nav. The two guys i was with (both of whom were over 30, btw) came across a MASSIVE fire ant hill. So, while i was plotting our next point, they thought it would be funny to start poking and kicking the anthill. Both of them ended up with literal ants in their pants, jumping around the woods dancing and screaming like retards while the ants got revenge
I got a story to tell about land nav that's pretty solid.
It was a group of lower ranking officers at East Oahu range and I was there as not much more than to watch their actions and only intervene if they're going the wrong way. I was not to communicate with them otherwise. I was an E1 at the time, that's why this is so good. A group of LTs walk up, and set up their 360 security for a map check. I'm about 200 ft away and on an incline. They do their thing, talk a minute, and start walking in the correct direction . . . and that's when I noticed it. *An entire ruck and M4 left behind* . I hit the horn to my Sergeant and told him what was up. I was told to take everything out of the ruck, spread it everywhere, take the M4 (with blanks) to scare the shit out of the next group that shows with a simulated ambush, tell them to clean up their friends stuff, carry one of the others the rest of the way to simulate an "injury" during the ambush with the M4, and send them on their way.
I felt like a peasant kicking the royalty in the balls.
One of my favorite moments in Basic was land nav. Something like 6 hours to explore the woods with my friend. I remember getting done, and we were heading down the main path to get back to camp and we were talking about movies that were supposed to be coming out. Drill sgt whispers out to us like some ghost in the woods and we turn to see him half-hidden behind a tree. He just gives this glare and gives us a 🤫. Was a good day.
The dislikes are from the lost privates
Impossible. They never made it back.
@@Sam-iw6te One year later, this makes perfect sense now.
And now thanks to UA-cam, even their dislikes are lost!
The saddest part, is that they didn't make the drill sergeant mad, just dissapointed in them, which is somehow worse?
"I'm not mad I'm just dispointed" is basically the title of this video lmao
hahahaha yeah. if your parents ever said that to you, you must have done some really dumb shit hahaha. i would know.
When you were fucking with the tree, I was expecting you to be like "I saw one of them marking trees, so I'm marking everything before I fail him"
Here at bdubs working getting slammed during lunch, needed this
I could come over there and give you a good slamming.
Keep up the good work. It will be over soon. 👍👍👍 God bless
Bro I had that Carolina reaper sauce last weekend. Honestly not as bad as I thought. Y’all cut that sauce or something?
If you're getting slammed how are you on UA-cam? Get back to work. I'm sure someone just sat at the only dirty table
@@jonmacgyver743 George Washington over here needs some corrective training.
Everybody gangsta till AC pops out of a bush.
I love hearing stories like these. My brother was in boy scouts and there are so many similar stories. My favorites: A group never made it to the end of the map and compass course because they came to a fence with a "no trespassing" sign on the other side facing away from them. They decided to tun back as a result. There was also the 2 (not 1, but 2) times that they got lost in the national cemetery and had to call the scout master to pick them up. The camp was just through a small patch of woods.
Last time I was this early, the military still did push ups.
@free wifi AC made a video on it not too long ago if you wanna check it out
They don't? What do we do now?
“Corrective training”. 🤣 the most PC way to say he PT’d them until they got sick!!
I actually had a really big wake-up call when my buddy called the brush next to a parking lot the wilderness and meant it
I'd say I feel bad for them but their failures give me happiness in the form of your great videos.
😂 I learned orienteering and land nav in 7th grade back in the day. Our teacher thought it a useful skill. It's a fun skill. Frightening that they have problems reading maps, compasses, and translating it to practical use. 😶
To tell the truth...land nav is a right pain because those classes you get are 3-5 hours long death by PowerPoint and you're already bone dead tired xD so it would make sense these poor fuckers got lost.
😂 No power point back in the day. Spent a week in class, then fieldtrip out to Rock Bridge State Park. They set up a course through the woods and threw us out there....had to get each checkpoint. Never forgot what I learned. I really should join the orienteering group thing for the state. Going through a blackwater swamp would be...interesting 😂.
I learned orienteering in boyscouts. The basics are easy, but putting it to practical use can be hard depending on terrain and how precise you need to be with distance.
@@Jcod_ @bangythebrav Absolutely! Being able to ascertain the geography and understand where you are at any point on a map along with what's around you is important. Being able to account for the limitations of a potentially dated map vs. the reality of the place is hugely impt as well.
When I was a couple years younger my mom used to get mad that I'd play video games all day.
Little did she know I was playing stuff like DayZ, where map reading and finding out where you are using a map + your surroundings is something you learn eventually.
Up to this day I actually use skills learned in that bloody video game. No time wasted.
Reminds me of a story my dad told me. He was 187th Airborne and fought in Korea. One nite on patrol they were being lead by a Lt. so-and-so, AKA Lt. Moonbeam. How did he get that nickname? So glad you asked. After some serious WaNdEriNg someone asked the Lt. if he was sure of his navigation, to which Lt. so-and-so responded that he knew EXACTLY where he was because he had been following the moon.
Technical point here, the moon moves, A LOT!
Well hot damn and I thought we LTs were supposed to be the one's that get lost during Land Nav. Isn't that what my 4 years of education is for? For me to get lost and for y'all to find me? Well thank god for FA BOLC, my brain only works in mils now 😂
😂
It's a secret ploy by the NCOs. By following the lost privates, they are hoping to stumble upon us lost LTs and guide us back to safety.
There is no greater concern on a land nav course than coming across a 2LT with the same points as you breaking bush in the complete opposite direction from you.
Dang butter bars
Privates actually have the ablility to reflect on theur mistakes and learn from it to prevent future errors.
LTs just conclude the target must have been misplaced and he was right all along.
"Corrective training". So he fed them to basement Jesus.
When the privates get back: AGHGHGGG MY DRILL SERGEANT SENSES ARE TINGLING
Instructions unclear my compass is pointing south isn't it supposed to go north I think its broken
Yeah, leaning about magnetic poles versus the actual poles confuses everyone.
Lol
Turn the compass 180 degrees.
Drill sergeant... uhh... I uhh... lost my com...pas...
"Should I be worried if there is an air bubble in my compass drill sarg?"
I wish I had a land nav course that open. I remember going out to buy a machete after the initial land nav in preparation for final
haha I had my land-nav( allthough it was called differently) in the beautiful bavarian forrests, crossing 2 farms which ment free coffee during training - which was nice.
@@alberich3099 haha germany
"If we come over here... there's a path..." Started leaking coffee from my nostrils... was worth it.
Never gets old
Also: No pace count? Whoopsie😆
They are waiting for God to tell them when they reached their destination, like a divine intervention GPS navigator.
This is giving me flashbacks to my navigation history, which is a joke to my friends. Plot a route, follow a bearing, no problem. It's locating where I am that's the... interesting bit
Them resection drills bud a.k.a "wtf is that radio repeater tower?"
I remember "corrective training". It involves a lot of front leaning rest.
“They plotted the wrong azimuth. They used mils instead of degrees.” 😳 LMAO in Marine Corps! 🤣😂🤣
I made every single one of these mistakes when I was on course lmfao. Ohhh the memories.... and the BlackBerry thorns... but mostly memories.
Blackberries are tasty, but also the meanest and nastiest plant we have in central Europe. Don't try to fight it. You will lose.
Rich deserves 2 POBs now. One for putting the guy down on the ground. And one for his recent feat of excellence for the Body Cam footage that is shown on Cody the Operator’s channel.
What was the other incident? I remember the guy trying to start a fight with him, but not the new one
Lt's, too.
I was a civiy contractor on Ft Benning and doing an archaeological survey we had Topos and compasses we had no problems out there. A Lt lost as hell came up to our crew digging a pre-historic site and asked where the hell he was and I just pointed to the topo. He was at least a 1.5 miles off course.
I can imagine you throwing a rock at the nco that caught the private that dropped that paper like, “god damn it man”
Man he’s everything. One sec he’s a officer then building a party bus after that he’s a drill Sargent. Busy life. Must make so much money with UA-cam on top.
The last time I heard stalking and privates used together this many time, my coworkers and I were trying to convince this cashier she shouldn't romanticize the anonymous stalker that was leaving her creepy love letters.
“We did some corrective training” so a smoke session in the middle of nowhere? Lol
When the drill sarge said to get lost that’s not what they meant
Plot twist: Ac was actually just stalking random hikers and giving them corrective training.
