Here's a LINK to the info I posted about Candio boxes.
I remember using the FB class groups before my son's as a gauge to what is allowed in the candio boxes. I'm vaguely remembering finding some details on either the OCS website or OCS FB group but can't remember exactly.

I checked with my son. Here's the deal (at least as it was a year ago). There is no training for the two weeks around Christmas. The candidates have liberty of the base and if they are in the candio phase, may also be able to go into town. They may, if they choose, leave Newport for a week, but that would count as leave time. Since they accumulate leave while in training, he felt it didn't make much difference, Sorry to have had it wrong.

Yes! I'm in but I will say I couldn't access it on one computer, but was able to at work. I can see that you took it from 'hidden' to publicly viewable, but I had a hard time finding the group initially. Thanks for approving me!
