While this may be allowed you will need to become intimately familiar with a few regulations (see below). Additionally, when your Soldiers sign their &quot;Soldier&#39;s Privacy Act Statement&quot; allowing you to maintain the SSN and personnel info in your Leader&#39;s Book you will need to amend the statement to include digital files on a personal device. Keep in mind that even after deleting a file a digital copy remains on the device and may be retrieved using the right software.<br /><br />Read:<br />DA Pam 25-403 Guide to Record Keeping in the Army<br />AR 340–21 The Army Privacy Program<br />AR 380–5 Department of the Army Information Security Program<br />DA Pam 25–51 The Army Privacy Program–System of Records Notices and Exemption Rules Response by SFC Private RallyPoint Member made Jul 28 at 2016 3:18 AM 2016-07-28T03:18:57-04:00 2016-07-28T03:18:57-04:00 SGT Eric Flores 1756785 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I use both platforms at home, windows for gaming, and serious paper writing, iPad and iPhone for mobility. However, I strongly believe OSX is suitable for professional office applications.

Many places/Service IPad's are a no go, and no wireless is the norm.
