A School , they've to earn it
and it's up to his RTC .
thanks for the information. I thought that was right. I did not want to leave a phone with him and get him in trouble.
have a great day
mike
It is my understanding that cell phones are not allowed on the RTC side of the base even after a sailor has graduated bootcamp. I am under the assumption that ship 5 is basically a holding barracks for those who will be shipping to another base for their A-School. Unless they have special cell phone priviledges while on that ship, I would say the answer to your question is no he will not be allowed to have his cell phone there. I would recommend that you still take his cell phone with you to PIR. Kyle will be eager to use it as much as he can while on liberty that weekend. If the rule is such that he will be allowed to keep it then you'll be prepared to leave the phone with him. If not, you will need to take it with you when you part ways including when you drop him off at the base at the end of each day's liberty time. Ordinarily, once the sailor has reported to his school location they will be assigned a barracks and given their mailing address. He can then notify you of his new address so that you may send items like his cell phone, Ipod, laptop, camera, etc. to him. I would also suggest that incase Kyle is not able to keep his cell phone after PIR that he or you purchase some calling cards for him to use until he is allowed to have his.
Congratulations to Kyle on his upcoming PIR!!
