A friend of mine has one and it is awesome. He took his old phone in to verizon and said look, its all jacked up. I want something so durable. They gave him this phone on a trial base for a week and he went outside and ran it over with his 1ton dump truck and it survived so he walked back in and said i'll take it.

Im thinking about giving up my ease of texting features on my EnV for this phone.

What exactly are the military specs? Whats the worst that could happen to it? Dropping it in the motor pool and running it over with a track? Not like you can take it in theater with you...lol. On a jump, if your phone gets fk'd up from a jump you are just as well going to be, and wont be using it layed up in a hopsital....lol 12 years and never once had a phone break or get damaged on me. If the training is that intense dont take it. If it starts raining...ziplock bags FTW!!!

Non the less, durable phone i guess
