It's not important at all, I'm just damn curious. My son asked me this question a couple of days ago and for the life of me I cannot find an answer. I figured one of you all would know...
How far is a "click" in military measurement terms? As in, "we have to relocate 4 clicks south of here." This has been bugging me for 2 days (I guess I gotta get a life). It's just been bugging me 'cuz I can usually find an answer to about anything in books, the web, friends, etc.
Thanks!

I always thought they were talking kilometers. Just a guess.

Sorry I haven't gotten back to thank you, I've been taking an HTML class.

I was told that it was 1000 yds. by a guy who said that's the way they measured it in Vietnam.
It sounds more like the consensus is 1 kilometer?
Thanks again folks!!

1000 meters is one kilometer... and we do call them clicks here.
