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

The only book I keep is the Infantryman's Bible, aka "The Ranger Handbook."

I once attended a wedding where a groomsman recited lessons from the warrior knowledge handbook- he and the groom were FT buddies. It was a huge hit!!

I went through AF basic back in late 1984, so nope, I sure don't. But, after I got out in 1988 I went into the Army early 1990. They had a book they called the Soldiers Manual. It tried to teach you anything you needed to know about basic soldiering: setup and shooting the military guns, defensive actions and measures, radio messages, communications, and reports. But, I don't have that one today, either.

Yes, but it got pitched at some point in one of my moves.

I still refer to it when preparing classes, just to make sure I have the standards down

I lost my Basic Training materials, but most of the cadets at my school pass down their LDAC TACSOPs to the cadets they mentor as seniors

I haven't looked at any of it in years but I still have my black portfolio they gave it to all of us in, but I'm assuming the enlisted stuff was a little bit different then the AF ROTC stuff that you got and probably a little different between spring of 2003 and Summer of 2007.

I'm not sure why though. maybe because I didn't memorize much so I kept it in case I needed a quick reference.

It's in an old metal box along with copies of all of my PCS & Promotion orders.

I had ten years enlisted and 17 commissioned and had never been to basic training so I never got a handbook.
