That surprises me a little my older brother who is an officer in Marines says that they have an unwritten rule when it comes to things like this and any hard core porn related materiel is removed from the personal belongings and most troops write a note and give it an NCO or officer that basically says "don't let my parents/girlfriend/dog see this stuff" after they realized enough guys doing this they just made it general rule that they would remove this kind of stuff.It seems reasonable to me everyone has their personal details that they really do not want their family to know about in graphic detail.
