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

"They took our phones" . Wow.
By the way anything and everything on federal property is subject to search. By entering said property you thereby grant consent to search..
Long story short, suck it up and drive on.

Drill Sargent can search you whenever they want just like the base security can stop any vehicle and search it bags, and body. Lockers, rooms, cars and a pat-down of your body. You consented to it when you joined and wanting access to a base. If you have a problem little girl, get out. Corrinna Jennings, USN RET.

Permission ? You lost the right to give permission when you signed on the dotted line to enlist in the military. You yourself admitted you have been caught in the past breaking the rules and that brought you to their attention. Now you have to live with the attention until someone else screws up worse than you.

Dude I left AIT not that long ago. You were caught slipping up and don’t want to take responsibility b. You had your phone hidden for example. You were clearly doing the wrong thing

Normally admitting you were wrong and informing that you will be better, vice making excuses saves you a lot of trouble.

I could explain the legality of health and welfare inspections, but to answer your question you should just deal with it. And maybe work on following orders. I am sure your 1SG has an open door policy, but if your DS hasn’t informed them about your issues and was trying to resolve them at a lower level you may create more problems than you solve.
