I actually went into basic training in mild withdrawals from hydro. I can tell you this much, you want be in withdrawal for long! You literally don’t sleep for the first 3 days so it can actually be used to your advantage. Coming off Suboxone actually wouldn’t be the end of the world in basic. They are gonna keep you so scared and nervous that withdrawals will not be your primary focus. After 2-3 days of physical training and non-stop hauling ass to be ready and standing at attention, that shit is gonna fly out of your system.

Everybody is sweaty, out of shape, sleepless, miserable during the first week of basic so you want look to much out of place, nor will you be the only one detoxing from something.

I know this is wrong but here’s what I did. I packed 3 bic pens full of Ambien and super glued the caps back on. I figured I could chew on the ends to open them and still look normal. It was risky as hell but I didn’t know how bad withdrawals in basic were gonna be and I knew sleep would be essential. They will have constant locker and drawer inspections but it’s to make sure you have everything in the exact order they tell you to keep it. You are allowed pens, notebooks, bible, etc.. I didn’t even think about opening a pen until about the 4th weeks when things weren’t quite as intense. When they do actually allow you to sleep, I promise you that you’ll sleep within 5 minutes of your head hitting the pillow with zero medications.

I know this is something to take seriously but you can take Suboxone in the AF if you just gotta. I also did 2 different 6 month deployments in which I needed to bring enough meds to detox. Now going through customs inspections in Iraq by military inspectors was nerve racking!!! I always made it but I wouldn’t ever try it over again. I was just stupid and lucky for alot of my younger years. They don’t check care packages so that’s your best route if you had to get your suboxone/kratom during a deployment, however, you want have any temptations while in Iraq, hahaha. Just like basic, you’ll be clean within a few days of a deployment.

I’d be glad to answer any specific Air Force questions for you but I gotta go for now..
