What they can take to A school and when they can have it???????
My daughter told me she could not have her phone until the monday after graduation. Is that true or do I have to send it to her later. How are the days at A school? do they have a routine everyday or is everyone's schedule different?

@princess89 It just depends on where they are going after BC. My one son stayed in GL. So after he was in his new place, we gave him his phone and computer . He could of had some clothes too but we did not know this. My other son was leaving the next morning. He could not have any thing until he was at the airport.

Hi! I was able to give my son his phone when we picked him up after he had checked into "A" school. He graduated 7/20/12. He was on hold for a couple of weeks, so he didn't start his classes right away. They kept busy cleaning and were able to watch some of the olympics. I did end up sending him clothes, his game system, and treats of course! Now I need to send him a warm jacket! It didn't take him very long to get to start wearing civilian clothes on the weekends. I think for most part they do have a routine. Hope this helps!

After they check in across the street and you check them out, they can have their phones and computer. Although the first couple weeks are INDOC and they are very limited in what they can use.

thanks for the info. I am glad she can have it back. I am sure she is going to be busy but at least she can keep in contact when she wants to. She said when she called that she needs to here from the outside world. She misses her sports!! but I keep her posted with news clippings from her favorite teams. again thanks everyone for the info.
