A guy asked about a car... how about a cell phone. Will they bust your ass if you bring/hide your phone to OCS.
BRING - No, your ass will not be busted. Most staff will collect them as "contraband" and distribute them just prior to liberty for your use. After liberty, they will be collected again. Or, you can just leave your cell in your car.
Hide - Yes, your ass will be busted. In fact, your ass could very well be busted back home. Do not attempt to "hide" any contraband; you do NOT want to end your career before it begins by showing a lack (or PERCEIVABLE lack) of integrity.
OCS is only six or 10 weeks, and you can talk your ears off after the third week anyway. Don't risk it.
When things get "rough," think of the recruits at the MCRDs who have 13 weeks with no phone calls...
