Overall, yes. I dunno about you though, but the first boxed lunch my class got was the worst meal of my life. Infinitely worse than eating by the numbers.

Oh boy... Do you care to share how those "boxed lunches" are by chance? What's the meal consist of?
You get "bagged nasties" or boxed lunches in the PC world when your class was out doing something and couldn't make it back to the chow hall for lunch. For example, when you go to the fire trainer, you're away from Nimitz/the chow hall all day so CandiOs bring you some disgusting sandwhiches with NutriGrain bars and bottled water. Some people loved them because you don't have to eat by the numbers. I thought they were disgusting and I was always starving again 15 minutes after eating.

Meal itself isn't so bad...but let's just say the way we had to eat the first one is one of my only memories of indoc.

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know why you have to do a PRT right before OCS only to take another one as soon as you get to OCS?

To my understanding, this is done by your NRD Office to ensure you are somewhat physically capable of passing the PRT tests.

Maybe they improved the sandwiches? They were never anything special. They did have PB&J sandwiches as well, which a lot of people got way too excited about. I never got into the whole peanut butter is the best thing ever craze at OCS.
The bag nasty breakfasts on the other hand were pretty gross.

They didn't come right out and tell us, but we know. Not sure if we're supposed to say, though. Did you graduate with 11-13?
EDIT: Belay that, just noticed your avatar/profile. If you're in student pool, I'm surprised you haven't heard about it yet. PM me your name and I'll let you know.

I asked my OR whether I would need to do the PRT with them before OCS and they said no. Apparently that depends upon your recruiting district. Some do not administer it to avoid having candidates injure themselves or have other types of liability related situations develop.

Wait, what? A kinder, gentler Navy, indeed. Truly a "Global Force for Good."
It's all political correctness run amok. I understand the reasoning behind it, I do, but if you're too sensitive to be called names during your military accession program, you're probably also too sensitive to get shot at (let alone shoot back). If you fold when you're getting yelled at by a DI who's playing meaningless mind games, what are you going to do when you're in a situation involving actual pressure? Call a training time out?
Who cares if it is Navy wide or not? I really don't understand how there are people out there who may even be sort of offended by an article of clothing being called a "poopy suit". It is ridiculous.
It takes away from the experience. Having a DI yelling "green coveralls" is just not as funny as him yelling "poopy suit". This is after the fact of course....it is never funny in the moment.
