Did anyone else keep their "Warrior Handbooks" from Basic or Field Training? Is it still useful?

I'm not sure if the Army, Navy, Marines, or Coast Guard carries this with them during basic training, but thought I would ask anyway. I had a close friend present my original 'Warrior Handbook' to me at my wedding last year and recite "GEN Colin Powell's 13 Rules" aloud. He had the whole place rolling in laughter. Lots of memories trapped in this book. Anyone else have something similar?

I never had a Warrior Knowledge book. We had "Smart Books". I'm showing my age here.

I think I tossed that sucker as soon as I left Lackland 3 in 2000. Field Training comes in at a close second to SERE school in activities I made an effort to brain dump.

My smart book was an inspectable item when I was in basic. Unfortunately it was a paperback and didn't stand up to the rigors of field training. I covered it in 100 MPH tape to get it through and tossed it as soon as I reached AIT.
