OPSEC - Navy Operations Security
Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.
DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.
DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

You have to ship it unless he is a nuke. They are the only ones allowed to take it with them to A school.

I just copied and pasted this from the Recruit Training Command Facebook page.
Recruits cannot bring anything back with them to their ships while still attached to Recruit Training Command. Recruits who are checking into A School at Great Lakes must wait until after they have checked in to have their cell phones and laptops. Recruits who are on holiday leave may bring those items to their A School. -

They cannot have any phones, laptops, etc while on RTC. But...they can have them at the airport if family meets them there. Or if GradNGo to GL, they can have them once moved onto the base there.
