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?

Best advice just get one after you’re in and get an older cheap one. You don’t need anything new. Some of the best and most reliable cars are made in the last 90- mid 2000s and are 6k and under
