Your indoc book will tell you what you can and cannot have. A bible. Religious materials. And I think a small frame. But check your papers. And, girlfriends can help and hurt. They can help you through it. But can also cause you to want to leave. There is a 1 percent club. 1 percent will keep the girlfriend. Talk to your ds about the realities of gf not being around. Get him ready for it. Then when it ends be ready to provide the support.
Our DS arrived at indoc still dating his high school girlfriend. It was tough on the relationship with the restrictions on communications, as Mr2020 referred to. They exchanged letters over the summer, until she left for college in RI. Then reality set in. College life at a SA is nothing like college life at most universities. The GF couldn't wrap her head around the restrictive, disciplined life at KP, and that's when the fights began. Very distracting for a plebe trying hard to adjust. He broke it off about a month later, and has never been happier. Succeeding at USMMA, or any SA, requires your full attention. We're just grateful DS realized that early on....
