Is SC a high crime area? I never would have thought to enlist the security skills of a drifter! :D

The following table shows Charleston's crime rate in six crimes that Morgan Quitno uses for their calculation for "America's most dangerous cities" ranking, in comparison to the national average. The statistics provided are not for the actual number of crimes committed, but how many crimes committed per 100,000 people.[29]
Crime Charleston, South Carolina (2007) National Average Murder 12.8 6.9 Rape 50.3 32.2 Robbery 244.1 195.4 Assault 515.6 340.1 Burglary 676.5 814.5 Automobile Theft 1253.8 391.3 Since 1999, the overall crime rate of Charleston has begun to decline. The total crime index rate for 1999 was 597.1 crimes committed per 100,000 people. the United States Average is 320.9 per 100,000. Charleston had a total crime index rate of 430.9 per 100,000 for the year of 2007. According to the Congressional Quarterly Press '2008 City Crime Rankings: Crime in Metropolitan America, Charleston, South Carolina ranks as the 124th most dangerous city larger than 75,000 inhabitants.[30][31] However, the entire Charleston-North Charleston-Summerville Metropolitan Statistical Area had a much higher overall crime rate ranking at #21. |

Charleston is definitely a high crime area.
But like any city it has it's good areas and it's bad areas. The thing that makes Charleston standout is that you so quickly go from nice to shady. When my husbands ship took liberty there, all of North Charleston was off limits to the crew due to safety concerns. It's been years since I've been to Denver though, so I couldn't give you a good comparison. |

Except for the area around the ballpark and Colfax, Denver tends to be fairly safe before 9 PM. However, I would not want to be anywhere near downtown after 9 unless I was in a group of at least 4-5 people. However, the suburb areas like Golden, Morrison, and Littleton tend to be fairly safe.
Sorry, can't compare that to Charleston for you |

Not nuke related, but in regards to cars while in "A" school, what about having a car at Corry Station? I'm sure Craig will know the most regarding this area

You will be more likely to get a response if you post and ask again in the Message Board section closer to "Corry Station A School" than Nuke A School. Someone else may get back to faster than Craig there. |
