Remember..they want you HYDRATED before physical activity...coffee actually does the reverse....you will most likely have to drink WATER.

Yeah I wouldn't think so. It's probabily not even on the menu for breakfast. Caffeine is a drug, remember :p

caffeine is also in cola, but you can have that cant you or is it restricted in boot camp

Lot of misconceptions going around, so heres what I experienced. Coffee is offered, and you may have it during breakfast, lunch, and dinner. There are two types; Kona blend, and Kona strong ( neither of which are all that great). As for it being straight black- you can put sugar and milk in it to make it passable for coffee. It's not the best, but for bootcamp it worked for me!

Hey! I was just there so i can answer it

Depends on your RDC's. My bf drank coffee every single morning. I didn't touch it. There is a coke machine (only diet pop and juices like powerade in it) and i litteraly only hit powerade and water. My rdcs didn't allow you to drink pop. And then there was a juice machine (oj/apple/etc) you could have that. And then there was a coffee machine (hot water/coco/coffee) and i didn't even touch it because i didnt wanna get yelled at. And then there is a milk machine thing. Hot water is for tea or oatmeal and milk is for drinking or cereal. Which u can have at any meal.

Its a good layout. I was just to afraid to touch it. My rdcs were kinda evil

So out of all of the answers, there was only one from someone who has been there. It's good to know that there will be coffee, though I will probably do my best to get off of caffeine before I leave. I am a coffee every morning drinker, not any sodas really, and I know it will probably be rough for a few days but it will pay off to "kick the habit" before I leave.

Not to be that guy, but there were responses from a few people that have actually been there. Once you arrive at RTC, you'll find that many things you thought you'd be concerned with (like coffee) will never even cross your mind.
