Do I really need to bring anything to OCS???

[jride200]

A bit of a ridiculous twist on this thread that I'm somewhat embaressed to even ask . . .

Will I get to drink coffee with breakfast or at other times during OCS?

I ask this because I once read it advised, on this very site, to wean yourself from sugar and caffiene prior to OCS. You see, as a non-traditional student having performed shift-work in industry, I've developed severe black coffee habit; I get headaches in the morning without the shit.

Once in the fleet, I aspire to be like the legend A4s speaks of: the man who would not fly without black coffee, a donut, and a cigarette (minus the cigarette in my case).

That's half the fun at OCS...watching classmates freakout because there's no coffee for them to live off of

Yeah, you're going to want to get away from the caffeine. You won't be allowed any except on liberty and maybe Sunday morning at the chapel.

Wow now I am starting to second guess myself, but I am pretty sure you can drink coffee during the Candio phase...YES/NO??? At least thats what I remember when my class went through. And always at the chapel on Sunday morning! But start to get off that stuff, cause you wont be having it for at least 8-9 weeks!!

You can have coffee during candio phase too, but by that point you should have been able to kick the habit anyway.

One of my roomates was a 35ish former ETC-Nuke... The man was unhappy for about 4 weeks during withdrawl...

Oh, and smokers/dippers, you can't do that either.

Correction: You can't get caught doing it.

You have to want it....
