Seriously though, I am writing military iPhone apps as we speak. First one out will be the 12 Warrior Battle Drills with T, C, & S. Plus all the set up walk-through, talk-through, supporting individual tasks, etc. This one is about 95% done at this time. Some ideas on deck:
Infantry leader's smart card...wpns info, radio calls, CLS info, UXO/IED procedures, basic Arabic/Pashtu/Farsi phrases. Options are endless really when you don't have to fit it on a 3x5.
TM's for common weapons....
Ranger Handbook
Career tracker...thinking of something that would be a basic on hand ERB/ORB, but also include additional info like dates for most recent physical, etc.
And the last idea I have at the moment is a Range Log...put in the weapon model, caliber, serial number. Then track sessions by rounds fired, magazines used, any issues. You could even load service intervals for each weapon or magazine so it would let you know you've used M4 Mag 6 for X number of rounds so you can do maintenance without having to go back through and do a lot of math.
Any more ideas?
If this is too much of a hijack, I'll gladly relocate.
