From reading the threads on supplements at BMQ and medication in general, here’s my understanding:
1) Any supplements brought in to BMQ will be confiscated
- Question 1: Can you buy supplements at BMQ? Is there a store on base?
2) Prescription pills are an exception
- Question 2: Can you bring prescription pills with you, or do you need to get a fill on base?
3) Once you’re in the Forces, you only use military doctors, not civilian doctors
- Question 3: For everything? What about OTC purchases, like supplements and Tylenol?
I take magnesium, B complex, and omegas on occasion. Or, on rare occasions and for a similar effect, I take very small dosage beta blockers. They reduce sweating, improve concentration and memory, and reduce adrenaline and cortisol, letting you make more rational decisions.
I can do without all of these, and have most of my life without a problem, but there's nothing to lose and much to gain!
Also,
Question 4: After BMQ, while on base or on deployment, are you allowed to bring supplements and prescription medication? I am joining the Navy.
