Be careful, though, if you keep a journal - a couple guys got IT'd when they discovered notes in their journals. Oh - and don't write anything you wouldn't want EVERYONE to hear - we had one guy get IT'd while the RDC's read off his love letter talking about how he was a SEAL and he was working out with his hard-core SPEC-OPS buddies everyday... you can only imagine how embarrassing that was... So just be careful what you write, when.

My small address book had way more pages then I had numbers and addresses so I kept a log on my empty pages in that every night after taps. (No, writing anything in your rack after taps is not allowed but most recruits will do it) Its sort of an unwritten thing you can do before bed as long as you're discreet. Some people will also use the time to discreetly start, write, or finish letters to mail the next time mail is outgoing and keep the letters in their A&B Drawers. You'll get a pad of recruit paper for letter writing and you can buy more on your trips to the Nex, but I just found using the back of my address book easier and more convenient. Mine also had a calendar so I counted down days to PIR and 'X'd' days off the calendar at night.
