Knot tying

[323LCo0341]

Does anyone know where I can find the diagrams/illustrations of the knots we learned in Boot Camp?

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Semper Fi and may all of you have an outstanding 2008!

My only knots were on my head.

I feel deprieved - I didn't learn any knots in Boot Camp.

I know two ways to tie fishing line and a couple of fly fishing knots.

Except for that time in Thailand, I never felt the need for any others.

I didn't formally learn any knots until Mountain Warfare School. As with Sparkie, up until then, they were on my head.

Google the topic. You'll be buried in knot info.

There is a Boy Scout page out here in never - never land with pages of knots.

I vaguely recall knots in the Little Red Book they gave us at PI.

I think that "Squids" had to learn how to tie knots - you sure that you were in the right Boot Camp? Maybe they teach knots in the "new" MC - guess that goes to show you - technology marches on!
Do they teach Rapelling (sp) in Boot nowadays - maybe that would be the place to know how to tie a knot - especially if you were up a couple of hundred feet! Long drop if the knot wasn't correct!

I was trying to remember when it was that they taught us these knots. It may have been at MCT in 89. I cannot remember but I would've sworn it was at PI.

They gave us a small pamphlet, and then we were tested under a time limit.

The reason I ask this is because I do a lot of hunting and when I am out I am always trying to tie something down, up, or on to something.

Thanks for all of your help and if any of you know which knots we were tested on I would sure appreciate it if you'd reply back.

Thanks again.
