a friend of mine in basic had a zippo given to him by his grandfather. it was over 50 years old. when he got his stuff back after basic, it was missing. 2 weeks later, he found a drill sgt who had it and called him a thief. the DSgt lied and said it was always his. the MPs showed up and not only found his GF's initials in it, but arrested the Dsgt for theft.

[@lorrieandrews8307]

My daughter is in the Navy. When she arrived at boot camp, I got a 30 second phone call at 345am saying she had arrived and was safe. Everything she took with her, including her phone was shipped home to me in "the box". Once she finally graduated, she went to the temporary holding unit where all sailors go if they have not gotten the orders to "A school". She called me from the pay phones to tell me she was allowed to have her phone back in that unit. So I had to overnight her cell phone to her.

[@Joewilliecleveland]

Yep, the Navy doesn't play around. Everything you bring gets shipped home in a box.

So they don't let you keep anything stored there?

They didn’t take our phones until after reception at ft Jackson, and even then depending on your company, sometimes you’d get it once a week or for an hour every few days, it all depends on your DS. Some guys hid theirs in their camels, with the bag that came from the MRE’s for your koolaid and wrapped their charger tips with something soft and put it in another drink bag. It was pretty ingenious, but the DS’s got keen on it after a few cycles. Don’t get caught with anything you shouldn’t have, get rid of everything tobacco related at the shakedown portion, listen, pay attention and learn. Don’t be the one causing the platoon to get smoked, and especially don’t be the one that gets labeled as a blue falcon.

Off base and in the real world, he's one of the nicest people you would ever meet, but put a uniform on him and he becomes All-Army, and he doesn't put up with too much of anything from the troops.

I will save you time. At 30th AG Reception at Fort Benning, you get your phone and personal clothing locked up in your personal bag until you are given the chance to call someone stating you are about to leave for Basic Training. When you leave to go to basic training, you will be given a chance to call, stating you have arrived. They then give you an envelope with a plastic bag and your roster number in it. You will put it in the bag and turn it in to the Drill Sergeants. Depending on your company, you may or may not get chances to make phone calls to home.

I went to basic training at Ft. Sill in 2009. I was told not to bring my cell phone at all. Once I arrived I was told if I wanted it I should have it mailed to be. Once that happened. The DI had me remove the battery, place the battery, charger and phone in a Ziploc bag. I only had access to my phone for maybe two hours on Sundays after "Blue" phase. In AIT, we could store our phones in lockers, but only were supposed use them between evening chow and lights out.

[@nickasf]

For the Navy it goes like this: You arrive at night, make your initial phone call with your cell phone telling your parents you arrived. After that you go into the ditty issue room. Pack everything you brought with you besides an address book and maybe other things into a box. Write your info and the box is stored until the day you leave

Pretty informative video. I wouldn’t count on using your cellphone more than 3 times total while at OSUT at Ft. Benning. Used my phone once when I arrived at 30th AG letting family know where I’m at, used at the end of Red phase and on the day of family day. After that it wasn’t seen till I graduated . Best advice for anyone about to hit reception is , it’s the Army . It’s not summer camp, remember why your there and don’t go to sick call! Dress right dress, don’t ever call your drill Sgt. anything but drill Sgt. clean your hands, wipe your ass wipe and stay away from the Females...that goes for BCT & big army.

But I like women😢

[@dimahanson8454]

At fort Jackson you keep.your phone at reception i went to basic there

[@cameronsams9183]

Bring nothing but 1 gym short that you will throw away shampoo and deodorant

[@xxsilver_gamingxx389]

How about if you bring your phone but you family doesn’t wana ship it to you ?

[@eduardoaljure]

Do u keep the charger with you or it stays with your phone in the bag?

[@ecdesperados5524]

Yeah that's what I was wondering. He said to bring the charger but never said where to put it.

[@ecdesperados5524]

I'm pretty sure you would keep the charger in the bag with the phone

[@brandontarabocchia756]

I was at basic training. They put the charger in the bag with your phone.

[@theoutdoorguy8740]

So this depends on the Branch. In the AF we wore civilian clothes for the first two days. Our bags were brought with us to our actual dorm and locked in a closet, including our cellphones.

[@jangofettjr1237]

Marines were taking too long to ship me to Paris island so I switched to army....now I just wait for paperwork to go thru

[@phildeguzman6239]

hey man, any updates to you?

[@samuelhitchcock5312]

Honestly you can bring civilian clothes for your AIT, but you will put it in your personal bag that will be locked up in “the cage” you will not be using your own running shoes at fort Jackson. You will be using the issued the Asics. Your phone you will get a 1 minute phone call when you get to basic to your parents to tell them what company and that you got there safely. And then you will put your phone and charger into a plastic bag and put it in a pelican box that will be stored in the DS office, you may earn phone time with best PT scores, land nav., and expert shooting, anything that distinguishes you, you may earn phone time. At reception I was able to have my phone the whole time. I just graduated basic training August 16th! Echo 3-13 Spartans! Any questions about basic just message me, fresh out with all the info!

I thought you weren’t allowed Personal medication in the military

[@africatoto9929]

Why did anyone dislike this? It’s completely educational

[@chrisastin1989]

Fort sill your losing all of your stuff when u get there u get your stuff back the day u go to basic then u lose it again

[@Sadarsa]

When you leave for Basic, take only the clothes on your back... have a watch? take that off, leave it at home.. Have a phone? leave it at home... don't take extra clothes... there's no reason for luggage of any kind. The clothes you're wearing is all you need, and if i was you i'd wear as little as possible. Wear ragged traveling clothes that you don't mind being boxed up and mothballed for months on end. Don't wear any high dollar items, things that need to stay on hangars or anything that you'd consider 'nice'... just a pair of jeans, an old T, and a pair of old sneakers, that's it.

[@xxsilver_gamingxx389]

How will you get a phone later on ?

[@forestbush6783]

[@josephthompson7068]

You keep your phone at reception at fort Jackson, when you ship to BCT they take it after your 30 second phone call.

[@nisseranderogregy6268]

Louie Watson Lol what? Fort Leonard Wood is a joke, go to benning for the the real deal.

[@josephthompson7068]

Louie Watson where you don’t even use ruck sacks and carry assault packs on FTX’s? Fort Benning is the hell of basic, then comes Jackson.

[@josephthompson7068]

Louie Watson and I thought we were one army? Why tf are you starting hate on one of your fellow soldiers? Shows the content of your Army values.

[@MaestroJericho]

Got two phone calls (collect) home in Marine Bootcamp back in 1992. First for platoon highest score in USMC history and customs, and second for getting one of the top 5 scores in the company on the rifle range. Nobody was home either time.

[@noahmeme2]

In the Navy we just ship everything back home.

[@dagger_4d]

Marines don’t get to use their personal phones to make calls on Sunday

[@MurimlinnYsondre]

always liked watching your videos, i leave in two days

[@VanquishUK123]

I don’t understand why everyone is worried about there phones. Your not there to play on your phone I ship out in a month and I understand that I’m there to become a solider not to play on my phone.

[@JoelMMartinez777]

Going this Sunday in San Diego💯

[@phildeguzman6239]

hey man, any updates to you?

[@DangerousDaedric]

Ready to goto meps and then basic!! It my small ass hand tattoo needs to leave first lol

[@Mitch-rd9gs]

If you’re going to Sill, they’ll take your phone at reception. The rest of your personal stuff will be kept in your personal bag and locked up at basic

[@nickadelman1999]

Mitchell Zabel was fort sill not that bad? I heard it’s not and I leave for fort sill in a little

[@Mitch-rd9gs]

SoftTurkey Ya it all depends on the battery you go to. I was at Bravo 1-40th, they were pretty damn hardcore compared to what I’ve heard. My brother was E 1-79 and they were way more relaxed. However, from what I’ve heard, Fort Sill is nicknamed Fort Chill for a reason. It’s not bad. You really dont need to worry about anything

[@zachhays7157]

Graduated from fort Jackson last Thursday. When I got to reception they had us do a crap ton of paperwork and then got us PT clothes. After a few more hours they sent us up to the bays and we changed into our PT clothes. I was there for 5 days and we never had to turn anything in and got to keep our phones. We put them in bags with our roster number and they were in crates like you said. We turned in our phones and our civilians and all the stuff considered “contraband”

[@RalphieRich23]

Hey there! Thank you for your service! I’m being shipped out in 2 weeks. In terms of phone usage, I’ve been hearing, he get to use our phones every Sunday? Is that true? What about foot wear? Did you bring 1 pair of shoes and 1 pair of running shoes? Lastly, underwear, is it true that is has to be white clothing? (Boxers having to be white, socks?..etc)

[@bradisrad6679]

Leaving for Fort Sill tomorrow, thx for the video! Been watching your videos for a while now and it’s some great information!

[@royalty_beauti2285]

How was your experience at sill?

[@phildeguzman6239]

hey man, any updates to you?

[@fabianmontana4224]

If you go to fort jackson u keep your phone the entire reception then once u get to your company the drill sergeants are gonna put it away with your personal stuff inside of a small room and sometimes every phase they give u your phone for certain time then they take it away u get it back after u graduate. Good luck yall basic training its easy believe me 💪🏻

[@tonyd7507]

Fort Jackson let's you keep your phone

[@caldarilogi]

at fort jackson you keep your phone in inception once you are in basic they take it, i got three personal calls in my bct
