Mac Bargett - Technical Radio Operator

This one is a bit different, short, but you can only miss one, given that it is a digital image of a map I will allow a small margin of error, but not much.

If you already know how to find coordinates on a map this should be a breeze, if not then you may want to research that a bit.

You have one week (in RL you have seconds, but you are also trained in RL for this job ) to complete this, as always post once you have read this (and send the donation) so that I know when to start the clock, good luck.

Use this map to give eight digit coordinates for the following.

Alright, start the clock. Hopefully the donation went through, I remember there was a problem the last time I tried to give a donation.

[Mac Bargett]

Alright, the grid zone designators, 100,000-meter square identifier, and the coordiniates down to 10 meters for the three positions are as follows.

Erik- 17T LM 19656741

Brennan- 17T LM 16386328

Ealing- 17T LM 16136681

[MAJ Patterson]

Well well well my young Staff Sergeant, Mac type, you did your homework indeed.

Before anyone starts scratching their head wondering where the hell 17T came from, Mac found this section of map as a whole, instead of just a piece of it, to locate the designator, not required but most impressive indeed.

Erik - bit off to the north, but nothing an Arty barrage couldn't compensate for

Brennan - slightly off to the southeast, but close enough you could throw a rock from the location and hit him

Ealing - This was the big one, it needed to be spot on otherwise you could blind your own troops or silhouette them for the enemy, and this is the only one you hit dead on the mark.

All answers were still within the allotted margin of error, Erik's was pushing it, but the one that had to be accurate was every bit of the word.

I'm happy to award you with this certification Macster, seriously, this was the most impressive display of getting the job done I have ever seen in a cert test that I've given.
