    The thing providing the location of the device is the phone… how are military allowed to carry personal phones?

    I’ve worked in Top Secret facilities and holy shit no you are not allowed to bring phones inside. How is an active duty ship less controlled?

      I am guessing that it’s different because they spend weeks and months on the ship. I don’t know about you, but I wouldn’t be too keen to enlist in the navy if it required not having my personal phone for months on end. They gotta make some concessions in policy to keep everyone sane.

      Or maybe they’re banned but people sneak them in anyway.

      Edit: then again, if they just snuck them in, they wouldn’t have any connection. They need wifi. So it’s probably allowed.
