Who knows, current plebes chime in.

Happily, there are no plebes at the moment! Anywhere, so far as I know.
I agree it’s good to hope for a current cadet or recent grad to comment.
So no connecting an iPad to the WiFi?
I am a bit confused by this topic. As a plebe, you will use your laptop for homework and get phone privileges once a week. What do you need an iPad for? You will not have time for games or social media or movies. You will be way too busy studying.
My 2021 DS said that plebes got their phones back a few weeks after Indoc, but were supposed to leave them in their rooms and not use them. He said you can apply for a BYOD (bring your own device) connection to the WIFI after plebe year, but doesn't know how likely it is to be approved. Basically, you'll be "off the grid" on personal devices for the majority of your time as a plebe.

Good practice to get used to being at sea. . . .

I just got back... Did 8 months. I wish I could've just stayed out there.
