ok, for all of you who are wondering why we have our phones in reception, this is why. this was columbus day and the drill sergeants had the day off except to get us to the defac for meals. so because they had the day off they let us have our phones and cameras and hang out in the barracks for the day. we didn't get our cameras back til graduation and we had half hour phone calls with our cell phones on sundays and that was it.

Cell phones?

There seems to have been a great surge in pussification since I went through Fort Sill, and that was back in 2007.

[schultzE7]

this was in reception, not during actual basic. we could only have them out a half our on sundays was all.

[oohhxxdang]

how long can we have our phones there in reception?

[schultzE7]

we could use them for an hour before lights out everyday, but in actual training we had them for half an hour on sundays was all.

hey, i leave for fort sill on the 13th of this month we can bring our cell phones? will they tell us to put them in the amesty room or something? do i tell them i got it, or like keep it in my bag? thanks!

[schultzE7]

yeah you can bring them, they'll let you use them during personal time in reception, but in actual basic we only got them for a half hour on sundays was all.

@hiltonsmith90 You joined the military but have not even been to basic yet think you know jack about what you're talking about. Typical.

[pamelamiller03]

THIS VIDEO AND THESE COMMENTS ARE EXACTY WHY THE ARMY IS PATHETIC. I KNOW WHEN I WENT TO BOOT CAMP AT MCRD SAN DIEGO WE NEVER HAD OUR PHONES, NOT EVEN DURING RECEIVING. THE ONLY FORM OF COMMUNICATION WITH THE OUTSIDE WORLD WAS GOOD OLD FASHION SNAIL MAIL AND EVEN THEN WE ONLY HAD SUNDAY TO DO THAT. DRILL INSTRUCTORS NEVER TOOK A DAY OFF, AND WE CERTAINLY WOULD NEVER BE CAUGHT DEAD HAVING FUN LIKE THIS. F***ING GARBAGE

well our phones was EARNED not just given to us. some platoons were able to get their phones for about an hour or two every sunday but we can't, our DS didnt let us coz we have to earn it..

[georgelopezfan1111]

@schultzE7 is their really any difference in how hard basic is at each fort?

[nfs3fan2]

@TheGreenSmoke i know right? I went to Benning.  that shit sucked big time...

[ejunkulator]

Damn back in 07' we made maybe 4 calls during all of basic. And if our DS had it his way we would of made zero phone calls the whole time. Half hour phone calls on sunday, WITH your cell phone must be nice. We had to buy cards and use the pay phones and had 5 minutes I think. Crazy shit.
