Question Question about entering into HTA

Hi all, just got the offer for SPF DES entering in Jan 2027. Besides the essential belongings we're required to bring, are we allowed to bring a regular phone charger, or are only portable chargers/power banks allowed?

I couldn't seem to find any information about this online, so I'd really appreciate it if anyone who has gone through training could share their experience. Thanks in advance!

Are you still in HTA?

Of late , APOs began checking for wall plugs / charger heads already. Need to get CM approval and show the email.
