It depends on what they are using it .....
Practise angry bird etc! :D
I am just looking at it in a way that the SAF is contributiing $$$$ back to economy by wasting Tax Payers Cash on useless items that are prone to be not so reliable.
Not that I find the iPad not so reliable, just that what makes you think people in BMT etc is gonna take care of it?
i guess they just made Singapore the laughing stock of the military world...
again
3G SAF
We've too many scholars fighting for fame alrdy.

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?
AAR pic using iPad??
More to show it's waste of public funds.
We've too many scholars ard alrdy
I really dont get the logic behind the use of the IPAD
No, really.
I cant.
I would rather SAF spend the money and issue me with a bigger knife (not that mine was lousy) that I could find far more use for. I really loved that knife they issued me. And I was reminded of its use again when my friend used it in Melaka to open up beer bottles.
tell e scholars lor
I think many things we had have been whacked up into mng sar mng see policy.

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! :)
for tis case, the upbright isn't tat bright
Cost, maintenance, upkeeping n everything
lol
The dangerous assumption here is that everyone would know how to use the IPAD.
But perhaps the scholar already anticipated this and came up with "how to use IPAD" lesson.
something OOT...
"Moi can shoot with moi eyes closed~~~"
crotch shot~~~
Dang... reminds me of cartman and buttercups...
how to immobilise the 3G army: send a virus through and then shut down the wifi and network
You know...we were taught if your gun IA, you can chiong up to the enemy and butt-smash him.
I wonder if the IPAD hang, I can use it and smack the enemy's butt with it?
Scholars.. but they're still in green..
as wat ah Bear says abt intelligence level when we're in green
And then we'll get headlines like "Porn found on recruit's IPAD"....
