Ok I was a Drill Sergeant a short while ago. Just came off the trail. If you think you get anything personal on basic you're wrong. You get some family pics, your wallet, and something religious. That's it. Get over yourself, its not about you, you're ARMY property or government property at that point. We own you. So leave that stuff at home, get your big boy/girl pants and suck it up for 10 - 16 weeks depending on branch of service. Just my 2 cents. By the way get at parade rest when you post. Lol.

I looked up Bootcamp rules and all tobacco products are strictly forbidden (cigs, chew, snuff etc...) but nowhere does it mention nicotine being forbidden. so i have a question for miltiary vapers, did you vape during bootcamp and was your drill instructor cool with it?
sorry Tregs but i gotta do it.........HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAaaaa ... no way can you do anything that they dont tell you do to. im a SSG and back when i went into a BCT it was all eyes on you all the time. also depends where you go. at benning you'd be glad to have time to take a break. even if you had time off you wouldnt have time to think about smoking.
you wanna quit smoking go to bootcamp. you'll be smokefree once you get off the bus. (for atleast 9 weeks.) AIT is a different story. once you phase its all good. vape your face off if you like.
BTW: vaping is considered a tobacco product to the military so it must be used in designated smoking areas only. (unless top or capt says so.)
godspeed padawan.
I went to basic about 3 years ago and I smoked every single day in the bathroom and the 7 drill sergeants never noticed... or if they did they did not told anything.
I can't imagine what would happen to a recruit for doing this.
You'd have to smoke while being smoked for smoking.....and then probably get put in a "retraining company" where the put all the kids who don't have any respect for authority.
