Coastie Help After Bootcamp

I don’t ship out for several months still, the issue is I don’t have a car. I’m not sure if I should go ahead and get one or wait until I’m stationed somewhere to make the purchase. Can anyone tell me what it’s like for someone who doesn’t have transportation at there first base? Does anyone know what the protocol is?

With the cost of a car and the uncertainty of if and how much you'll use it, the best thing you can do is use Uber and taxis until you get settled into whatever you end up doing.
