Well, Here is my $.02. I just retired from the Navy last week (in fact about 81 hours ago but who's counting). I don't understand why people sell their cars when they join up. You will need (want) a car after boot camp. Boot is the only time you won't be able to drive. There are some great roads in NC to drive on. Two broken head studs is really not that big of a deal unless you are racing the thing. I have been an instructor at an "a" school and almost every one of my students then "settled" for a car they didn't want, but it was all they could afford. The rest of them went home to get their cars from Mom and Dads house. You are going to Nuc school, you have to be somewhat intelligent to do that, I am sure you will make the correct decision regarding your car. If I were you, I would keep the car, enjoy it until you go out on your first patrol ( SUBS don't Cruise) and save the money to buy a newer car when you get back or put yours in the shop while you are out. BTW Thank you for Joining the military, I feel lucky to have been able to serve and I am sure you will too!
