OCS candidates are permitted to receive a care package (also known as a Candio Box) from a loved one at the start of our final phrase. It’s a tradition, and relatives can supply just about anything.
What is a Candio box?
In honor of their loved ones’ near graduation from Officer Candidate School (OCS) and transition into the role of “candidate officer,” friends and family often gift them “candio boxes” filled with treats to help them through the final few weeks of training. Opening their candio boxes is a highly awaited tradition for the candidates during Week 9.
