Yeah, they're loading up GRGs on them. I think the Marines started, then CVW guys followed suit, but only within the last year or so. Great resource for that.

Glad you see the light. And I don't wait in line for two reasons. One, PCola is the suckhole of America, including ot having an Apple store. Two, I like when they overnight things to my door.
What was your experience in OEF though? I'm pretty sure people are using them there.We had them available at Twentynine Palms, but nobody used them. Partly because of functionality and partly because most people prefer to put lots of work into re-inventing the wheel making products for each flight. How else can you signal to the command that you are second cockpit tour material?

Well, that's where that stuff is being used. When you're faced with the possibility of operating in a large range of KBs with TICs going down in unbriefed areas, having a source of electronic GRGs is pretty useful.Never been to the shit.
If NSAWC is smart, they'll start incorporating them into the CAS/CSAR events in Fallon. Maybe they're already heading that way, but I know it sucks to be learning how to use new gear on your transit time to OEF when flying opportunities can be limited.During IGS this year, they talked about ipad rules for use, and I completely thought it was just a really bad joke until someone explained that it was real and they are used in country.
Right now I think the issue might be that they aren't very many and they are owned by the Wing/ MAG (don't quote me on that). They showed up at the s-2 a week before we left to get loaded up. For the most part they sat in a big pelican box while there, and I haven't seen one since we left the land of K-spans.If NSAWC is smart, they'll start incorporating them into the CAS/CSAR events in Fallon.

Surely there's an UNCLAS room they can be used in and trained on. It's not like they have to be in the MP rooms.You are correct that they would do this if they are smart. In fact I know the guy responsible for trying to do this very thing. It took forever, but they got approval to buy a bunch of iPads ... and then they weren't allowed to bring them into any of the buildings for IA reasons. So they sit in a storage locker somewhere ...
Bureaucracy, she's a bitch.
