Once he has left RTC permanently (at the airport) he can have his phone, laptop, whatever he wants for electronics. They just aren't allowed AT RTC. Generally, peoples family bring them these things while they're waiting at the USO for their flights to A-School.

Did they tape you to figure out your uniform size? I ordered a pair of military rated pants and they dont quite fit due to my lack of knowledge.

Yes you are measured and taped at each uniform fitting. They then will give you a rough uniform size and you will have it pinned and adjusted by a tailor. They will then take the uniforms and hem/adjust them to be a perfect fit for you. You generally get your uniforms 3 days to a week after the day you are measured/tailored

Is there more than one fitting and measuring session then? I was assuming they would just ask us our size and we would be handed a pair. Does the tailoring apply to the nwus and nsus as well? Im pretty damn short, and pretty damn stocky haha. I have trouble finding clothes that fit as it already, so i was just curious how the navy handles that.

They do tailoring and fitting because they want you to look good. When you wear your uniform you at the face of the United States Navy. They will make sure that your uniform fits correctly.
