Kenneth,

Not sure what situation you are in but I am guessing that you are looking a career change or to find a more meaningful job than the one you currently have. If you were to think back at those days in basic training and remember what actions you took during field training regarding navigation you can easily figure out what steps to take to improve your current situation. First you have to know exactly where you are, take inventory of your current situation (knowledge, skill, ability, financial, etc). Next determine the destination that you want to reach, ask yourself what you want to achieve, what inspire you, what you want out of your life. Then chart the path from where you are to where you want to be, (what knowledge you need to gain, what skill you need to acquire...) Hope that helps. Feel free to contact me if needed. Best of luck in finding your calling.
