PT:
Officially we PT everyday.. with that being said academics take priority, so on test days we do not PT.
Being Summer and black flag conditions (VERY hot) everyday, we PT in the mornings. 0530 Your class will decide the type of PT. Our class went to command PT 3 times a week. This was sort of like BASES at bootcamp, you'll see what that means soon! But it's basically about a dozen stations and you do a different exercise at each one.. sprints, CORE, arms.. etc. the other days we had "fun" PT, we would play frisbee or tennis or dodge ball. The site here has about a dozen tennis courts, basketball courts, and volleyball courts spread throughout and ALOT of grass fields. This is where the PT is conducted. Every Wednesday A-school runs a 5K with PRT push-ups and sit ups prior to the run. Power school does this on a day that works for the class. In the winter we PT after class, around 1500 or 1600. All of our PRT's are outdoors, running in the roads, and doing push ups/ sit ups in parking lots. Enjoy the indoor ones at RTC while you can!
You can have any electronics you want.. inside of your BEQ (room). There are plenty of people here with CPU's larger than a mini fridge. You cannot however have any type of electronics inside of the schoolhouse, or at most PT. To be safe never have electronics in uniform while on base. You may end up in a space that you can't have it, and forget that you had it. In every barracks building there is a community lounge, this has a large tv with DVD player, most people will connect their laptops and have large viewing parties.. or connect game consoles. There was a VERY large Smash Brothers tournament a few days ago. There is also a liberty center with an internet library, and about 30 tv's with various consoles connected.
