Hey guys,
Looking at getting myself a basic baseplate compass for Chrissie, nothing fancy want to keep it simple to learn the basics. Budget $50-60.
The Ranger 3 looks like it would suit my needs however I noticed there's a couple different versions. The standard one with just degrees and the NATO version with degrees AND Mils.
I've been seriously considering joining the Army Reserves in the future and obviously basic training will cover navigation so it'd be nice if I was already familiar with the system/methods they use.
Does anyone know if the Army uses a particular system (degrees vs mils) or have any recommendations? The two i'm tossing up between:
Degrees:

Degrees and Mils
