MCO Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 (edited) Any new housing gouge for NAS CC? I read somewhere that they were building new base housing. Anyone have any info on these? I like the convienience of living on base but I've heard the base housing isn't the greatest. Besides the island, any decent neighborhoods near base? There are a few apartment complexes near the base that are pretty decent. As far as houses/townhouses go though, the island is the place to be. The new houses on base are pretty nice. I havn't spent a whole lot of time in them, but they impressed me compared to the houses the guys had at columbus. Also, being close was nice in phase 2, but it isnt as big a deal here since there is no flight rooms or formal brief/release. The island has houses with decks on the water and boat slips etc., plus the beach. Its all in what you want though, compared to any of the UPT bases you actually have some decent options depending on what you want/like. If you get selected to come here, try and make a trip out here to look at places during your 2 month break. I'm definitely glad we did. We got here on a Monday, spent all day inprocessing, then all day Tuesday/Wed. doing inprocessing briefs and medical crap, and started Thursday. Some people end up with a few weeks to kill before they start, but recently most people have been starting pretty quick after they get here.
