Calling/Writing home at OCS

Considering that there are folks in OCS who frequently post on Air Warriors, I don't think you have a lot to worry about.
When do you earn liberty privileges (i.e. what week)? Me personally, I think liberty is definitely overated...well, at least for prospective Naval Officers anyway.

way back in 2002 when I went thru...
You could use phones on Sundays, keep it to 15 min please, and bring your calling card (you know who you are).
You can use it on Saturdays once you get liberty (first shot is week 4)
You can write letters whenever you want.
Once you're candio, you can use the phone pretty much whenever.
Finally, if you bring your car, stash your cell phone in it, and you can use it for 20 min or so on your POV runs.
...and I'm spent
...LIBERTY! FVCK YEAH!

Would you have agreed to OCS if you had to endure 3 months of not seeing your family?.....or take it even a step further, no liberty at all?
Don't... Worry... About it... You'll be able to contact family and friends plenty during OCS... after your first week.
Oh yeah... DO NOT have anyone mail you contraband.... period.

I see that in addition to being a professional advice-giver-outer, you also seem to have taken it upon yourself to be an amateur judge of character over the internet. As it stands, I don't answer to you...sir. Not yet, anyway. But if you think really hard, I bet you could come up with the answer all by yourself.
If you are the adjutant for your class like I was, you will have access to computers every night after the first week. I used some of that time to email my family to give them updates.
If you have SPRINT PCS I would recommend getting out of your contract if you can and switching to Cingular or Verison. SPRINT (at least for me) had horrible coverage on base. While a CandiO, my cell phone was worthless. I had friends who could use theirs in their rooms and coverage was fine.

Of course they would have. But given the choice between two equal versions of OCS, one that let them talk to the outside world, and one that was 3 months of confinement?
No one voluntarily gives up privileges to make themselves "harder." Okay, maybe SEALS and SWOs...

There are two sets of pay phones in each of the batttalions where you will live after your first week o' fun. Miniature signs on the phones indicate authorized times for candidates who are secured and unsecured. Despite the restrictions in place for unsecured canddiates and assuming the candios aren't douche bags, you will be able to use the pay phones at night when you have some free time. May I suggest using the pay phones down the p-way that are furthest away from the quarterdeck.
