On humps I popped Motrin out like from a pez dispenser. It was camo green and it had a SI head. But anyway about dessert in chow hall, the donuts in the morning was the reason why I woke up. Just dont be the candidate getting caught going up for seconds.

If you really want the effect, you have to take the 800mg pills, I know for a fact they work.
Hard to judge this one. It is possible that the percocet did take away some pain, but perhaps the nausea had a greater effect. Make sure your tooth doc knows that percocet makes you ill so they can give you something else.
It is not likely that Motrin would make you sick....just don't take it too often as it may other GI issues.

Percocet giving you nausea is because you took it on a empty stomach. I always took my percocet with meals (when I had my wisdom teeth removed), and it made me so drugged up I would crash and take an eight hour nap. I took percocet once on a empty stomach and it made me want to vomit.
I remember with motrin you need to drink lots of water, but you should already be doing that at OCS anyway.

Jeeez! Do NOT take percocet for pain at TBS of on a hump! First off, it is illegal. I believe it is a narcotic and using a non-prescribed narcotic will end your Marine career quick.
Motrin makes the pain go away, but you can still function. It does not affect your motor skills or decision making. Percocet will knock you on your butt.
Yes, you could drink a handle of Jack Daniel's on a hump and the pain would go away, but it would be an incredibly stupid idea. I thought the sarcasm in my original post was apparent, but I'll add [sarcasm] tags next time.
And while I'm on this subject, f*@k pain killers. The only tool a Marine needs to deal with pain on a hump is a combat straw. Just pull it out and SUCK IT UP!

Haha who said anything about using that on a hump. Just talking about how powerful (and illegal) this stuff is. It should ONLY be used as prescribed to help pain with broken bones or teeth. To the candidates that blow their tibia band out at OCS like I did at Jrs., call the corpsman for motrin, it's goiong to hurt like hell.
Take that motrin with chow, too. It's tough because often you'll have PT before chow. Just know that if you do decide to go the motrin on an empty stomach route, push water before PT, not during, or you'll start upchucking, and they'll think you're a heat case.

Not to ruin everyone's day, with their daydreams of 800mg Motrin, but as of my class, this summer, the corpsmen are no longer allowed to carry around and dole out on whims, the beautiful orange bottles of Motrin. A corpsman gave a candidate (in a different company) one of those lovelies and the chump had an allergic reaction. Now the corpsmen only carry around fake Motrin and Tylenol. I'm not sure what the Motrin substitute is, but its in 200 mg pills and they give you 3, so you're only getting 600mg, total. Unless you're my corpsman, who liked to give us one days worth of Motrin/whatever in the morning. So she would give me 9 Motrin substitutes ( for 3 doses of 600mg ), and I would wind up taking 4-5 at a time, because really, I didn't need it at night while sleeping! Anyways... Good stuff.
