Smoking was “officially” banned at most of my service schools, upgrade training, Combat Skills Training and Professional Military Education.

I say “officially” because most of the instructors told us find out who has a vehicle and go smoke there. Just don’t be stupid, sloppy or careless about it.

That wasn’t due to a DoD ban on smoking. It was done to promote self-discipline and adherence to orders.

I appreciate your son’s service!
