    Was wondering who else has learned and employed brail for lowlight no light and economy of motion ? Is Sayeret Matkal the only one who employs this ?

    Shit, I decoded what Veer attached and quickly realized hell no. Interesting concept, but I think for anything mission critical it wouldn't be wise to "non-native user".

    As I understand it can be taught/learned and is applicable not only to print but turrets and gear .

    429 yards. I feel about 17.4 MILs. That's can't be right. Oh well, send it!

    Perhaps back in the day before compact NV devices were prevalent. Granted yes, still a reliance upon electronics. I could see where it would be helpful IF your NV failed for some reason.
     
    We did use some forms of braille in the army but it's a more simplified version to let you know if a battery is going in backwards. Or some such simple use as that.

    I've made my own building up super glue or a dot of epoxy. Again, just for fast shit, like indexing fingers on a keyboard for example.

    But the one blind guy I knew, even he didn't know braille! And I can tell you from experience that it's not as easy as you'd think. You sort of develop the skill to feel the individual dots with your fingers; for most of us it just feels like a jumble of protrusions. No individual dots perse. Kinda hard to understand but suffice to say it takes practice. If you aren't comfortable reading books like this normally, then I wouldn't try to incorporate it into anything life or death.
