About Army NCO Tools & Guide

10 years running and 50 updates later. The new NCO Guide is getting rebranded more as NCO Tools. We've cleaned off the out of date info and started packing in automated tools to help run the team. The big hits:

Blue Force Taskr. Create, and send tasks with suspense dates to subordinates.
SPOT Report. Seen something jacked up? Log it, share it.
Alpha Roster tool. Add, modify, duplicate, delete alpha rosters
AAR Tool. Add, modify, duplicate, delete, AAR sessions
Create your own flash cards and separate them into decks for easier study

Our old Trivia now has 5 ways to study:
Flash Cards
Dictionary Lookup
Multi-choice quiz
Guided Learning
Audio Playback with Siri
