My advice would be to pack up a box to have shipped to you when you get to A School. The way i happened with me was that we couldn't have anything brought back with us civilian related during grad lib to the compartment. If your parents were still there when you left, they could meet you at the airport to give you your cellphone and a few things if they wanted, but not to bring back with you right after grad lib

You'll be on phase one for about 2 weeks where you'll have to stay in uniform and can't wear civvies anyways, so you'll have time to get your stuff shipped to you before then. So that's my advice

While at RTC you won't be plowed to bring anything to your compartment. There was even a video about a girl who snicker in a cell phone and went to Capitain's Mast for it.

My husband brought me a suitcase of stuff, but i only took a phone and a laptop at the airpot. You will be traveling with a huge heavy sea bag and garment bag and backpack, plus the orders that you must have on you at all the times. Nobody can really help you since everybody has the same amount of stuff. I would suggest ask your family to mail it to you.
