OCS gouge packet

Dads,

I am trying to find a current gouge information packet for my son. I have seen some references online but I'm not sure they are up to date.  Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Marty

    I found this,

    Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday progress fairly smoothly, more instructions are given focusing on procedures like formations, proper greetings and most importantly chow hall. Morning PT starts and will continue for the next three months. You will be fitted for your real uniforms, some of which will need alterations. You will be given a "gouge pack" consisting of pens, paper and a small booklet of information you NEED to memorize as soon as possible. You will take this pack EVERYWHERE you go. If you are ever found without it, there will be repercussions. During meal times you will hold the pack out straight in front of you once you reach your seats. You will continue to hold it there until the entire class has set their trays down and gotten out their packs. This can be very very painful, it does not pay to be the first in line. The last people are encouraged to move quickly.

    don't know if this is still applicable, but a study guide to get ahead of the curve:
