What about prior service? Do they have access to on base facilities?
Prior service doesn't matter you are all candidates when you are there.

Ah, the good ol Silver Bullet. That was more than enough motivation for me to hydrate well beyond what was required.If there's one thing you don't want to be at OCS, it's a heat casualty. They will have no sympathy for you at all. In fact, they will mock you for getting a thermometer shoved up your ass while it's happening.
This is what your staff will say...
"Look at that fag, he started pulling his pants down before the Corpsman even got over there!"
"Yeah he did. Did you see the big smile on his face? I think he likes it."
"Do the rest of you see what happens when you don't freakin hydrate?!"

food is NOT allowed in the squad bays..so dont try and bring snacks or protein bars.
A candidate from my platoon was kicked out for eating in the squad bay. Seems like a dumb reason to flush all that hard work down the drain. Seriously, these threads about "what should I do while I'm at OCS?" have got to stop. Ask about what to do BEFORE you get to OCS. Once you get there, the training will take over, and I say with no sense of exaggeration that maximum security inmates have more freedoms than you will have the first 3 weeks. The best attitude to have when you get there is "I'm here for 10 weeks, and I don't care what happens. I will graduate no matter what."
You're kidding, right?If you've seen full metal jacket, it's kind of like that.

My guess is that at Marine OCS, it is also an integrity violation, and god HELP you if you lie and say no if they do ask.
