Coffee at bootcamp

Not to be that guy, but there were responses from a few people that have actually been there. Once you arrive at RTC, you'll find that many things you thought you'd be concerned with (like coffee) will never even cross your mind.

There's definitely coffee but it tasted like shit. Tried it twice but never went back. I drank 1 glass of water and 1 glass of Sprite Zero every meal. Our RDC's didn't care what we did.

Agreed. And not having been there doesn't necessarily mean people don't know what they're talking about.

Jax - as I don't personally know anyone on here all I can do is go by the user profile. You are active duty so you have been there and avsailor has been there as she is past military. That being said, those are the opinions I would go off of because they have personal experience. I would rather get my advice from those who have been there and done that rather than those who have heard this or that.

Yes, the coffee is there, but sucks. In fact, one of the lyrics to one of the cadences is as follows: "They say that in the Navy the Coffee's mighty fine, it looks like muddy water and tastes like turpentine!"

Well you wont be able to get it before your work out since you're in a 800 division. Chow doesn't start until 0545, so theres the problem. As far as the coffee goes, I didn't try it when I was there, but other said it was nasty and or it was decaf.

Uh I was just there, yes they have coffee, the rumor is that it is decaf but I dont think so, I had it a couple times felt my little caffine buzz, and there is milk and sugar to put in it.
