I'd recommend not eating snacks your stash in your POV. If you value things like cell phones, liberty, etc., don't do it.

I don't know about you guys..but I had a racket going on in the back of my SUV during our POV runs..the Candi-O's may or may not have been in on it as well.
I made sure to return the favor when I was a Candi-O and the classes we took out there seemed to appreciate it, we also passed down to the junior classses to do the same when they were in charge.
Don't be a douchebag and make OCS suck any more than it has to..the POV runs should be looked forward to and a few minutes of escape from OCS. Starburst never tasted so good, and the 5 minutes on the phone with my wife (then fiance) really kept me going.

If you can't figure out how to get geedunk into OCS without doing a POV run then you're doing it wrong.

I'm sure there's gotta be machines somewhere up in Newport these days...

I know of a couple drill instructors that, when their classes get POV runs, sit in the gas station or Navy Lodge lobby in civvies and watch their classes eat/drink/make phone calls. Great way to get your p-way filled up with sand for a day or two. Everybody gets away with a few bites...just be smart. We got a lot of beef jerky, fruit roll ups, etc in the mail.

That's pretty slick. I'd be paranoid that they would see the various geedunk wrappers in the garbage though. Which reminds me of another question. Are the garbage cans in our dorms only supposed to get filled to a certain point... you know, for inspections and whatnot?

Lol, the only garbage cans you're going to be using are in the heads, and for major inspections they better be empty.
Also these days POV runs are almost nonexistent because any excess junk gets stored and locked away in a 'lucky bag' room in the house.
The only reason I'd bring a POV is for driving where you want if you get liberty and also because by the end of OCS you'll likely have several seabags full of junk (and like 6-7 uniforms with footwear) that would suck to try and fly with, though it can be done.

^^^What he said....they are back to the "old" way of OCS. Not as much academics...lots more physical. There's now a pass/fail o-course that looks fun as hell. As a candio, I preferred the lucky bag room over POV runs. Instead of calling for a van, waiting, driving out to the carriers, I would just go see a class Chief and borrow the key. When the class is allowed phones, watches, alarm clocks, etc, it takes about 15 mins to get in and out of the lucky bag room vice making 3 or 4 van runs to the POV lots. Shoulda been done long ago.
bingo!
From what I saw, it was kind of a joke. Not what you would really expect from an O-Course.

You're probably thinking of the LDC course. The new one is pretty legit. 30-40' off the ground in places. They did the first run through with the instructors yesterday.

He bowls overhand.
Oh yea, cuz they actually have to go out to the parking lot to know that this happens.
Come on now, do you think they were born yesterday? Candidates have been trying to sneak geedunk since the beginning of OCS. It's like when you're a kid and 3/4 of the stuff you thought you snuck by your parents, they actually knew about but didn't care.
Back in my day, we walked to the carriers, and we liked it! (because it meant we got to eat and call our significant others)
In my indoc brief, my Class Officer specifically addressed using phones on POV runs, geedunk on POV runs, coffee and donuts at church, and most of the other shenanigans that went on in the initial move to Newport. They knew and wanted to clamp down. Warning was given.
