It simply creates an immediate reference. Plus they would be searchable and such so you could find a certain topic more easily.
You guys didn't carry phones in Ranger? I used mine throughout Darby to order pizza to our planning bay...I guess things have changed...

You had better know your battle drills before deploying or stay home..... Oh just a second guys I need to check the FM.....BAM your DEAD...... That shit needs to be on your laptop in the rear not on your phone.
Cell Phones in Ranger School?????
1st They did not have Cells back in my day but we did have Pay-Phones. Low-Crawl out of the area and make a call, driver makes a drop off and your low-Crawl back in. When finished eating all you destroy the box and cash the trash so the RI's do not catch you. Guess the new improved army is way different.... Hell we ran PT in Boots back then also.....and never had to make an announcement to put your phones on vibrate in a formation.
