Can my NCO prevent me from having my cell phone in my pocket during the day?

I'm currently working in a clinic and the leadership doesn't want us to use our personal phones during sick call hours. It's been gradually escalating recently and now we're being told that we can't have our phones on us at all. I understand being restricted from using them while at work and I'm fine with that. I haven't been able to find anything in the regulations that determine if my NCO can restrict me from carrying my personal cell phone in my uniform. Any help would be appreciated.

I always look at post on Rally Point as fun, informational, and helpful for some. I don't hardly speak my mind to much unless it is asked from someone needing help or guidance. I was reading some of the feedback comments from SPC Eller's post and I would have to say, "weak sauce"! I am sure glad that I was brought up from E1-E4 back in the early to late 90's. If the words "Can my NCO prevent me from having my "whatever" in my pocket during the workday" came out of my mouth, I would likely be PTing until he got tired! I would have to say, "a lot of justifying going on"! Crazy times we are living in theses days!

SPC (Join to see) Specialist, if the worst thing that happens to you today is that you can't carry your cell wherever you like....you'll be ok.
Pick your battles man. This one isn't important.

The only thing in the regulation you need to find is art 91 UCMJ.
You joined the army and one day you'll want your Soldiers to follow your orders so follow by the example you would want others to follow.
