Jeremy,
As you said
"Ironically in all of my exams, I used my TI85 calculator and only used HO 229 to make sure I had the formulae correct. :-)"
I recall using a scientific calculator exclusively on the USCG exams also. In the 80's programmable models were not allowed. I would pencil formulae directly onto the face of the calculator or tape a label to the calculator cover.
Not being able to use a great circle chart in the exam room was another inconvenience.
