Haha no. That goes home in 'the box' which is what you put all your civilian clothes in when you get to RTC. You have 2 minutes to call your parents or loved ones and tell them that you made it safely. Then your next phone call is 5 minutes long and is in he third week of training. This is subject to change though, you can lose that privilege. It's not as bad as it sounds though!
