It will always be Ft Bragg to me, I went to my ROTC advance camp there, gained 20 lbs in six weeks. 145 going in, 165 coming out. Still can't quite figure that out. Ate three meals a day instead of two, I've never been more than an occasional breakfast eater except for those six weeks.

I, too, am a light breakfast person, but when I reported to Jump school just before Christmas, we had a Zero month instead of a Zero week because of the holidays. Our mess hall served the best breakfast I"ve ever eaten in a dining facility. I chowed every breakfast for a month until training began. After that breakfast consisted of a glass of chocolate milk. It gave me energy and didn't curdle in stomach during the 3 to 5 mile runs.

I had the same thing happen to me (gained 10 anyway). I was told that they fed us cadets double rations. Also, we could buy beer on post, and it was HOT in Fayetnam.
