Any thoughts on the e-tablet distribution?

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.

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.
