Lenny,
The Navy has one exception to the rules about cell phones. Based on permission, you can have a cell phone AFTER YOU GRADUATE but it must be turned into the Quarterdeck (kind of the the headquarters of each ship). They will let you have them up to that point, then you turn them in. As you leave, you can pick them up again. If you happen to walk in with the phone past the quarterdeck with the phone (going inside), then they probably will put you back to day one in boot camp. It's a huge violation.

The Navy understands the need to have a phone AFTER boot camp, so it makes this exception. However, your division must be authorised to store the phones at the quarterdeck. If they say no, then don't even attempt to bring it back.
