I'm guessing that swabs get a hacking cough at swab summer like at the other SA's. What do they label it?

Coastie coff...ha ha just kidding I don't know if it has a name but it's out there...my son has it again this summer...always hoarse when you talk to him on the phone and coffs a lot when he wakes up but as the day goes on it's not as bad.

Between jelly fish stings & Cadet cough, where does it end! LOL Check out my new thread in USMMA. Way to go Coasties!! Saved the day yet again!!

Just curious, what causes the cough? Is it the amount of exercise or the enviroment that they are in.

It's a combination of things:

1)Summer allergy season

2)Being rundown from all the PT...resistance down

3)Being in a group with 300 other 18 year olds

4)Lots of yelling and sounding off.

It usually disappears by the end of summer, quite miraculously. Very common at all the academies.
