Some dumb questions: So basically until Candio Phase, the DI picks everything that you can eat and drink? I heard you that you don't have to eat everything, but make sure that you drink both glasses no matter what's in them because you knock them over after for clean up. Do the DIs pick what you have to drink too? Like, could you just get 2 glasses of water or do you have to get Powerade?
You will get two glasses...in the beginning Powerade and Water.
When your DI deems you worthy enough for anything else, he may clear juice or milk or soda.
Being a recent OCS graduate, everything that has been posted here is correct. Except anyone going through OCS now, will have it easier. They changed many of the rules. Some of them include:
DI's now have to stay a certain distance away from candidates
No yelling in the chow hall
Candio's can't yell at OC's and can't use knife hands.
During our first few weeks, we were only getting a couple bites of food each meal. She kept making us spit out our food. We literally got starved. However, I think they have rules in place now that prevent DI's from doing this.
Also, don't be worried about chow hall procedures. They take some getting used to. But once you're past the first 2 weeks, it becomes second nature. Once you have them down, it's harder not to laugh at the person across from you than actually doing the procedures. Oh, and don't make eye contact with the DI's in the shark tank.

Spekkio
He bowls overhand.
Just to clear something up: Most DI's will allow you to eat as much as you want, with restrictions on WHAT you can eat, not how much.
Not being able to eat cheese, mayonnaise, bacon, etc. in lieu of carrots and beans isn't going to kill you. Eating a baked potato without any sour cream and butter isn't going to kill you, either.
Oh, and being left-handed definitely helps reduce the chow hall stress...never could figure out why they didn't make everyone eat with their weak hand.

Heading to OCS in January..legitimately disappointed to hear this.
Ummmm Uniformity....
