Aclimatization Study

I know you can't take most medications with you to BCT, but can parents bring vitamins/iron/zinc etc. to you during Parents' Weekend and are you free to take them? Or is participation in the study the only way you're allowed to have them?

i got that in the mail a couple of days ago as well. i am looking at the acclimation one and i would like to try it, but i DONT want to get a placebo and have to do all the research stuff anyways. by the way, how much time will the research part take up? i know the pamphlet says that the "appointments" are from 5-50 minutes, but then it talks about excersize stuff we will have to do also.

i apologize if i am sounding a bit selfish!!

2012mom, you will be able get those sort of simple OTC meds/vits for your cadet. Many parents will send a package with snacks, cold stuff etc. you do need to be carefull though becuase some products could cause difficulties with drug testing.

Cadets are free to take pretty much whatever they want--AFTER BCT (as long as there is not a specific rule against it).
