Do you get the weekends off in basic training?

No it is not true. During BCT you do get a “break” on Sunday just long enough to go to church and do laundry. However, you cannot take a weekend pass during BCT. Depending on your DS in AIT and what phase you’re in, you may be able to go off-post during AIT.

Do they go through your phone at basic training?

There are no cell phones allowed in Basic Training.

The Marine Corps does not allow any cell phone access until after graduation.
