Wow. I totally used the hell out of my Palm Pilot when I was in the Army. It was great for keeping track of all the minutiae you have to know about every one of your soldiers (as a squad leader). Totally replaced my zip up nylon filo-fax, and I always knew when Private Snuffy's Birthday was coming up and when it was time to remind PFC JimBob to buy his wife something for their anniversary.
Crap like that along with an insane op-tempo is why I left the Army though. Haven't had a use for a PalmPilot like device since then.
- lucasjung 16y agoInteresting to hear from someone who actually made his Palm Pilot work well. I tried using one, but I've always found that a simple notepad and pocket calendar work better for me. YMMV, but based on what happened with the Navy's Palm Pilot program, most naval officers preferred the good old fashioned wheelbook or government-issue green logbook.
