If you're in pensacola for school, Odds are you're gonna end up either in cherry point or New River if you dont request (and if you DO get it too lol ) overseas.
If you DO get to get stationed on New River or close enough, we have a preety well organized group here in Jacksonville (NC). Check us out on the Lejeune thread here.

i tell you what , i just got out last month and i enjoyed every day i was in, my key advice is DEPLOY as much as you can and dont get stuck in the USA, if anything go to Okinawa- the best marines come from oki everyone knows that

i lost count of how many countries i went to, but if you stay in thestates the only place you will be going is to the desert and back, trust me you dont want your enlistment to be like that -TRAVELTRAVLETRAVEL

--Tampa i live about 20 minutes from there , just give me a buzz we might have our ROTARY INVASION at lakeland dragstrip on the 8th

There are numerous RX7s here in Pensacola , FBs , FCs , and FDs ... there's a shop here called "Fighters Garage" you may want to check out if you need anything done to , or for your RX7 ... their Mechanics are the ONLY folks anywhere near Pensacola I would trust with my car ... all 3 mechanics are RX7 owners , and have had them for many years ... check 'em out

Garland, What is your MOS? If you are going to be there that long it must be electronics of some sort. Thats what I did for my go around in p cola. If you want stuff to do be greatful you werent there after ivan. Then there was nothing to do. But if you want to travel mobile is not to far and can be fun. Or if you stay local seville inn for the hotel and seville quarter or captain fun are always good times. If you are feeling frisky new orleans, panama city, tampa are all not far away.
