Thanks practice makes perfect.....the electric shaver would I be allowed to have that upon graduating boot while im in job training correct. Assuming it wouldn't be any issue when out to sea

I remember seeing in a YouTube video one of the men that went through boot camp said, "If they offer Zero Calorie Coke--never take it. Only drink water." I'm not sure the reason behind it (oh, how my mind wanders), but the man seemed pretty serious about it.

I would think that the reasoning could be that it would effect your physical performance. I remember playing high school volleyball and everyday for workouts our coach would scream at us and tell us to never drink anything but water. One team member got caught with a diet coke in hand and had what you would call personal IT in boot camp. lol.

Depending on your RDCs you may or may not be allowed to have sugary drinks/sodas/caffeinated drinks. They will be there, but if you're not authorized to have it, don't test your luck.

The same thing went for the dessert cart that goes around... my RDCs allowed it, but they also watched what recruits were eating before the first PFA and made sure to point that out to those who failed.
