I pity the fool who has to sign 1206 for a spoiled iPad.

Apparently, the news is saying that soldiers can bring the iPad
outfield to take photos for After-Action Review of outfield
training.
Uhhh.... sure boh? Even if that were the case, shouldn't that be
the job of instructors and not chao recruits? And why can't they
just carry an el-cheapo digicam which is far cheaper, portable, and
rugged? 
well
the terms used oftenly by those guys upstairs: Value add to
[XXXXXXXX], enchance [XXXX], brings [XXXXXX] into [XXXXXXX],
Improves [XXXXXXXXX] and up level [XXXXXXXX] and whats not.
Perhaps they have some bright ideas, but becomes not so bright
when it is unhandled by unbright lesser mortals! :)
However, I do agree on the part of using a Digi cam to settle
those actions.
Perhaps ah, should make the items of iPad the same category as
rifle. You lose it you go DB! :)
