Yup. That. Minus get drunk, because the RDC's still own you until you are at the airport en-route to A School. So don't do that; you'll get caught (I've seen it happen in my short stay at boot camp on more than one occasion). In fact, when you report to A School, while tobacco is now ok, alcohol is still not permitted until you are NMT phase 2 (depends on how long the school is, can be anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 months)
