Any thoughts on the e-tablet distribution?
http://www.navy.mil/submit/display.asp?story_id=86458
Apparently MCPON hand-distributed the first e-tablets to recruits during RTC. I'd like to hear what you think be it positive or negative. Personally, I'm a pen-and-paper kinda guy even in college, but I guess I'll have to get used to electronics in boot camp then. I heard lots of negative feedback from this too with stuff like a waste of money and pointless to take phones away, not being able to focus or concéntrate, sailors being spoiled, etc... What do you think? |

I personally do not see an issue with this, mostly.
It is inevitable that technology will increase in classroom settings everywhere, especially with the military. The only part I really don't agree with is this: Quote:
Whatever, I guess the results of the program will tell in time. |

I have this nagging feeling we're going to turn into the Air Force at some point. After being around Lackland AFB for a while, I can tell you first hand what an absolute joke their boot camp is. These kids can make phone calls, walk around base, go get fast food, ect, ect. It's basically a glorified baby sitting camp. THAT'S what I DON'T want for my Navy. /r CTT1 |

I haven't been to boot camp yet and I feel like giving tablets to future sailors is taking away from the whole boot camp experience. Even being as young as I am and like never being away from my phone. I wouldn't want to use tablets during boot camp.

Does anyone know when it's starting. I leave for basic May 19th and would love to prepare myself for the use of a tablet or not.
