Vehicle question...

Good question, I'm curious about this as well. I think I remember someone telling me after A school, but I will get an answer to this tomorrow.

Thanks. I've heard only after phase 2, at prototype, and only if I chose Ballston Spa... That's from a couple Nukes i know that did prototype in NY. I know my jeep wants to see the beaches of SC, and i don't think i can last 2 years without driving myself or my baby.

I know my son bought his truck while at nuke school, he did his prototype in Goose Creek. I can ask him tomorrow when he was allowed to get his vehicle, its too late tonight to call him. I am pretty sure it was during Power School, but not certain.

Sue, I knew you would know this... I was actually waiting for your post.
You're the expert about the Nuke stuff....

OK...I talked to my son, he said he bought his truck in A school but AFTER phase 3 was done...that is when you are allowed to FINALLY wear some civies and stay off base all weekend. One thing to remember, you cant go over 200 miles away from the base unless you have a "Leave Chit". Now if you are married, you will live in base housing and he cant figure how they could even tell or regulate those who may try and drive...but in most cases he says unless the rules have changed (it was several years ago) that you can drive once you get past phase 3 in A school to have a vehicle and drive....OH, and on a lighter not, he said the bums in South Carolina will do anything for cash! My son would go to one club/resturant and park in a dirt lot and pay the same bum $20 to watch his truck...one time he came back early and the bum was actually standing guard with a baseball bat, his truck was never messed with while that bum stood guard!
