small question from dep 'er

[scubasteve13]

I've been informed that I can bring a Laptop to NCHS. Yes, I'm gonna get insurance.:weye: Which is great cause I have already downloaded the material, and been studying in advance. Also cell phones and MP3 players are OK to have as well civilian clothes.. My question is: Once I graduate Corpsman school, am I allowed to bring these items to FMTB ? ( if I'm ordered, of course)
If not, is it best to just send these items to my family for the time being? Or does the Navy provide (or sell) storage?

I leave for BC Sep 29th. Looking forward to it. Been running, pushups, and taking jujitsu classes.
Also, ANY advise one get give me about BC,NHCS,FTMB is appreciated.


I apologize if this as already been answered...

Steve:

When my son went to FMTB (2005) he could have a cell phone, but there were certain times and places where it was allowed or to be used. I don't know what the current rules are for cell phones.

On the FMTB East website (http://www.lejeune.usmc.mil/fmtb/index.shtml) You can view and/or download the Student Manual and the FMTB Rules and Regulations.

Under the FMTB Rules and Regulations, Page 8, section 13 states:

13.CIVILIAN ATTIRE: When you leave this base you will be in proper civilian attire. Pants and shorts with pockets are acceptable as long as they are not fraying or in disrepair. Belts and shoes or tennis/running sneakers/shoes are to be worn. Halter tops and white and green undershirts are unacceptable. SHOWERSHOE type footwear is not authorized however; SANDAL type footwear is authorized. There are plenty of Marines and Sailors out there ready to correct inappropriate attire. Remember, you represent the Navy, in and out of uniform, so take pride in your personal bearing and appearance.

- You are NOT permitted to enter the Marine Corps Exchange or visit the ATM on base in PT gear.
- See paragraph 5 above for rules covering the utility uniform.
- You are NOT authorized to mix civilain clothes and footwear with the utility uniform or other uniforms at any time.
- On base, if entering a building in civilian attire with a cover, the cover will be removed and remain off while indoors.
