I recently recieved pro-rec to go to OCS as a SNA. Unless something unexpected happens in my physical or something burried in my medical records creates a problem, I expect very soon final select and my date to report.
Obviously during my time at OCS, I will not need to drive a vehicle much of anywhere. I have only heard people mention here that during OCS a vehicle is handy as a place to store belongings. After OCS, however, while in A-Pool, and during API, will I need a vehicle? Can I live on base in Pensacola (realize this is a VERY rookie question)? And would it be realistic to commute to grocery stores, training, etc., (and most importangly the pubs) in Pensacola by bicycle? I am already a semi-regular bicycle commuter, bike shop employee, and long-time cyclist. I want to commute by bicycle entirely if possible. Seemingly the weather in P-Cola seems conducive . . . .
BTW, I would eventually plan to buy anther vehicle, perhaps after API. And Brett, do you have any advice regarding theft? What exactly is the story with your bike getting stolen? I've heard you mention it a few times now.
Thanks, Jason
