What goes on in the event that Pensacola is evacuated due to hurricanes? I heard that OCS candidates were bussed inland last summer. Any body that was there remember what happened? I will have a car there; will that stay or can I drive it out of there in this worst-case scenario? OCS is finally approaching for me and I was just wondering. Thanks for any input.

yeah, i was there, it sucked... everyone drove as a group to corry station and we slept in a crypto building with no windows for a week and a half.
Some of the fun stuff:
-No air conditioning,
-15 or more people sleeping on the hard floor of each 3-4 person office,
-30 second cold showers with three of you under one shower nozzle at once in pretty much complete darkness
-8 or more hour days of picking up debris with your bare hands.
-washing your clothes in a garbage can full of water and detergent out back
-crappy heater meals (slab of cardboard chicken that only amounted to 350 calories)
-essentially its like getting rolled for two weeks as a class making you graduate late.

That sucks. But remember, others have it harder. I personally know people that lost their homes. They're in a much greater world of hurt than 2 more weeks in OCS could ever hope to give you. Be glad you could be part of the recovery effort.
Yeah, and corry is always safe from the hurricanes....oh, wait...
Yea, I was in class 04-05 with Gunny Fowler when Ivan came through. Gotta love the long nights on a hard tile floor after a cold shower in complete darkness with 3 dudes under the same faucet. Ahhh, memories. As for your car, you can move it to Corry Station where there's no guarantee it won't get messed up. Ivan caused a tornado to rip through one of the parking lots that ended up blowing out a lot of windows (luckily my truck was in the next lot over). What class were all you in? I remember picking up hurricane trash and cleaning up GySgt Fowler's neighborhood like it was yesterday. Got pride after OCS, but there's no way I'd go back.
