Vehicle question...

After week 4 in A school, when you phase up to Phase 2, you can have your vehicle to use.

Crime is not bad- charleston isn't bad. There's a couple shady areas, but they're easy to avoid and charleston is about 30 minutes away. We have great air force security forces manning the gate and security forces patroling outside nuke school (we're on joint base charleston), so nuke school is quite safe.

75 miles is the liberty radius without a special liberty chit for 350.

For Nukes, You can have a car in A School once you reach NMT Phase 2 (its about 6 weeks after you report in, you're Phase 1 through indoc which is about 2 weeks then you phase up 4 weeks after you class up for A School, so grand total is 6 weeks of Phase 1, then you can get a Car on phase 2). Of course, you need to phase up too, which means passing your check PFA on week 4 and your personnel inspection that week as well (Dress Uniform). ONce you reach that point, you can always have your car. You are REQUIRED to have a car when you go to Prototype (That's both for Ballston Spa, NY AND Charleston, SC). In Prototype, you are no longer allowed to live in the barracks, so you need to move out in town (you will get BAH and BAS) and you will need a car to get to work (prototype) so it is required. If you don't have your drivers license, the Power School SLPO's will work with you to help you get it and get you ready for Prototype.

Also, downtown Charleston is a high crime area (for insurance purposes), but once you get to know your way around you learn where is ok and where isn't. Downtown is a bit of a drive, I normally stick around North Charleston personally.

Can't totally agree with the Air Force security guys being great though...... (I'm joking, they're OK guys, I just have to give them some crap since I got to know several of them personally in my time down here).
