To add to the story- I do recall getting headaches pretty frequently in Boot Camp, but I always chalked it up to hunger. You were fed just enough to keep you sustained and growing, and no more, so you were always hungry. Went to sleep hungry every day.
Could some of that have been caffeine withdrawals? Maybe, I drank a little bit of coffee and energy drinks before I shipped out- but it's not like I had the caffeine habit of a person who's been in the workforce for years, drinking coffee every morning like clockwork.
Man, to be that young again, where you don't need a "pick me up" in the morning, you're just up.
