check with https://www.whereismypov.com/locations.asp as they are the company that moves military POVs (privately owned vehicles) - they shipped my son's Trailblazer SS to Hawaii from SD...professional and they do a good job!

Hi all - new to the group. I'm a mom but hubby listens in on what is going on too! I'm on navy for moms but have been following you guys for awhile. Our son is in power school with a tentative grad date in December. It's been an interesting
journey so far. We did go to A school grad in April and that was a lot of fun. Our son wants us to ship him his car so we have been looking into that. Going to cost about $1000 to ship from California to goose creek. Still working on that!

Joe M et al thanks for the scoop.  Who knew retired east coast senior citizens were a higher driving risk than young sailors - good to hear :)  It looked like their area was a bit remote, and he is wanting to make sure he can find some local golf courses to clear his head on during the weekends.  I'd rather he be able to do than than hit the e-club every Friday.

Evan, yes Phase I is only the first month or so.  Could be a little shorter or longer.  Phasing up (or down) is at the discretion of their instructors on a individual or class-wide basis.

Evan, after Phase I, he is able to drive and have a car up there, and it's a nice advantage since their complex is a bit isolated, even from the main Navy anemities, and definitely from the malls, theaters, etc. Otherwise, he's taking taxis or finding someone with a car. Time wise, off-duty study hours will he intense (depends on how well he's doing), but he'll have some free time on weekends likely.

Can't help you re: dealers. My son bought a from another student who was shipping out. It was titled/registered in S.C. and it was cheaper for my son to keep it that way. He thinks he got a pretty good deal. Was suprised how much his insurance decreased (USAA) because he's in SC vs FL.

David's Mom, when you say first phase does that mean the first month (or so) while they have no off base liberty or are you talking about the entire four month school?

Tom is definitely the one to ask...........

I'll throw this out to other Dads, the admins or Tom Lufkin:  Our son is planning to get a car after BC.  He sold his previous car before boot camp, and is planning to roll that and his BC pay into another vehicle.  It looks like he can't even have a car on base until after the first month of training, but will he be able to use it during the first 4 month school anyway, or will they be studying too much.

Second part is if we end up looking for it in the GC area, does anyone know a GOOD wholesaler/dealer who looks after sailors and doesn't take advantage of them, or should we just plan on getting it elsewhere and driving it down?
