I’m here at AIT and I have this drill sergeant that absolutely hates everything me and another person in our platoon does the first 2 weeks we did get off on the wrong hand but I just wasn’t use to the freedom coming fresh out of basic I told her that and I’ve been staying under the radar for a while but she just looks for any and everything to chow us out about or give us a counseling so today we had a random room expectation and our rooms got trashed me and the guy she hates also so what she did was thrower everything out our drawers and brought the females to our room and told them that this is how we live and we’re dirty so she took our phones and a couple more guys I gave her a phone but she said I had more than one phone so she made me open my locker and searched through my bags in my locked locker with no permission and found a old phone I was wrong for not turning it in but everyone is telling me to go talk to my 1Sgt because it wasn’t right how I was the only one that got searched and she was never given permission to search any of my personal belongings she just decided to and made me open my locker should I talk to my first sergeant about this? Or is this just something I should just deal with 8 more weeks because I think she is trying to get me put out and I can’t take it

Grow up get out. I hope you never get in shooting war. Because there they hate you, they and they want to kill you. But at the rate you’re going one of you’re going one of your NCO’s might do it first. When I was a FSG a very young soldier said I couldn’t pat him down. So. not wanting him to feel bad about, I said OK and had strip down to his underwear and then I Inspected his and found a little flask of alcohol which I might not have found in a patdowne. This was done in formation. He was very willing to donate $25.00 to the Soldier’s Fund.An Article 15 would have been $50.00

The Drill Sergeant is most interested in changing your behavior! Developing teamwork from ALL members of the Platoon. Attitude is another important attribute which will work either for or against the entire unit. Change your attitude toward the importance of developing a GREAT team. Your entire world within the Army will change!

I would read the manual for courts-martial (mcm) first before you go to Top. However, it was inappropriate that she brought any soldiers to your living quarters, especially those of the opposite gender. That is what the real world would consider hazing or bullying. This is common among what we, in the industry, call "little soldier syndrome" (for a lack of better words). Also remember, you do have rights regardless of what leaders and brain washed soldiers tell you. Remember, lots of soldiers have been, accused, confined, and convicted without cause or tangible evidence due to retaliation and/or so the commander keeps his job and makes his next rank. Trust me, I know at least 50 people in Leavenworth Disciplinary Barracks and other Joint Regional Correctional Facilities (JRCF). The army isn't about protecting and serving. It's about the Dog and Pony Show.
Like I said earlier, and will add to, before you go to anybody higher, make sure you read the army (service) regulations and the mcm. Also, contrary to popular belief among servicemembers, you did not waive your constitutional rights when joined the US military. If you plan to be in for a whiley you might want to have an attourney on speed-dial. And I'm not a barracks lawyer.

It probably would depend on the Regulation if a DI can search without permission.

First of all learn how to use periods, it's basic grammar you were taught as a child.
Secondly "what she did was thrower everything out our drawers and brought the females to our room and told them that this is how we live" If she really did that, your DS is wrong and you need to go to the 1SG. If your room was clean and she f-ed it up and did that, it's malicious. That is however, assuming that you are telling the truth.
Everything else she did was within her power. The DS can flip your room if she suspects you of doing wrong, which you were.

PV2 (Join to see) what portion of AR 735-5 would prohibit a DS from searching only his locker?

Private.... Please refrain from making any statements that other impressionable Privates may believe. That Regulation doesn't have anything to do with a DS searching through your stuff.
You have to know, once you enter on ANY MILITARY INSTALLATION, you are subject to search and any contraband seized, regardless of rank, duty station, training status. I may be a Promotable Staff Sergeant, but I have lived on Military installations most of my life. (I am 53)
Here is the Regulation you are needing to know
AR 190-22 Searches and Seizures, read chapter 2-2.
