US Navy to Begin Allowing Recruits Use of Personal Cellphones in Basic Training
The iPad generation has grown up and joined the Navy.
Like many parents across the country who negotiated screen time with their children, the Navy is now allowing recruits allotments of screen time in the (once) device-less crucible of Navy boot camp.
Within several weeks, recruits in two divisions “will have limited access to their cellphones during designated periods of training in order to connect with family and friends and manage personal matters,” U.S. Navy Recruit Training Command said in a Facebook post.
This rule change will have some implications. One may wonder what this will mean in terms of security.
TikTok, a popular app for young people, has had numerous figures raise concerns about espionage with the Chinese-owned social media platform.
