Do ARMY allow camera phones?

[akahoshi]

Hi all,

Hear the army don't allow camera phones in BMT training.. I think most of you would confirm that, but how about after that? Do they still restrict the use of camera phones??

Pls do tell what phone you are or were using during army, i need to change to a non-camera phone and still undecided..

[weileong]

Yes no camera phone

Gives me the headache when I go back for my ICT. Need to borrow my daughter's hp.

[akahoshi]

bro.. never tell me what phone ur daughter using? i need some recommendations for non-camera phones.. (not to mention long battery life too, cuz they dun let you charge there..)

Nokia 3100, looong battery life. use to talk with it straight for 4 hours.

Its an old model, so market only second hand available. But if you aiming for a new unit, 3120. same with 3100 only different casing.

Hey bro hobbes!! check it out man, i'm going in 9 dec too!!

[akahoshi]

I'm looking at the Nokia 6510.. No color-screen, means more battery life, got FM radio too.. What do you guys think?

[valerossi]

As long as it is a government restricted area, no camera phone allow

[weileong]

No charging? Just bring spare batteries.

[somebody]

yepz. some of my bmt friends had like 2 spares for their phones. haha...

i had one spare. didn't have a gf mahz, didn't talk much. those who got gf and wanna use free incoming and yak and yak and yak and yak and yak, i dun think any brand or model can last you with one batt...

more batts more batts... haha

[zephyros]

if u are full time in army - NO

if go back for ICT - Yes and No depends on camp

[Anthony]

i believed most camp do allow to bring camera HP. but nt for some sensitive area like ammo base or Mindef. etc

My unit is a reservist camp. all this 2 yrs i m holding a camera phone.

wondering anyone goes to Army Logistic Training Centre for their ICT

[valerossi]

Confidential area won't allow camera phone

[DeadmanZ]

Not all camp dont allow camera phones. Some camp do allow camera phones. like my camp, All u need is a LOA(letter of authority) to bring the phone in.

[DeadmanZ]

Forget to add... for BMT i tink its confirm a No to camera phones.

[decentkid]

[chucky]

for BMT will be more strict on this staff.. if 1 to bring,,wait BMT is over.. if got no spare battery,, u can buy those pottable charger from those hp shop..

[DeadmanZ]

[SpiderOne]

Heres a normal day in the life of my NS

[kelstorm]

is that shiny object that i think i'm seeing what i think it is? ??

[ReDDeviLs]

some camps allow i guess..at least i know maju camp allows

[nivlac]

I just went for ICT at ALTC (Army Logistics) last month. They used to ban camera phones but now allow them as every new handphone model these days have a camera and they given up trying to enforce it as it will be a huge admin headache.

So rather than control it, it's now allowed. Anyway, nothing confidential about ALTC anyway.

[hobbes]

wow...i going in 9 dec too!!!

hey, where r u enlisting to>?
