I still have my pocket bible from my Army days... Didn't look at it much back then when I was younger, though I always carried it with me in the field... I do find myself looking at it a lot more in these times...

Mother got me a pocket New Testament when I went into the Navy.  Don't know where it went off to.  Unless a pocket Bible came with a good magnifying glass it wouldn't do me much good.  I don't think they make that size in giant print!

IIRC, I also was issued a pocket bible in Basic Training.  It also wasn't of much interest to me in those days, but it did look good in my foot locker for inspections and such.  I am pleased to say that my attitude has changed a lot since then.  But then, my eyesight has also changed since then.  I could still probably read it today, but it would give me some eye strain.  Strangely enough, the eyes and the ears are still working pretty good, but a pair of "cheaters" do help the eyes for reading.  But, my large print Bible is a lot more user friendly, but kind of on the bulky side.
