Do SNA's Have to live in th BOQ at Whiting?

As of now, you have to live in the Q. This was confirmed a couple weeks ago by LT D. down here in Pensacola, and there's a big sign on the front desk of the NAS P-cola BOQ informing you of it too. The only way out is to have signed a lease x number or months or weeks before the date on your orders or some such; don't know the details.
If it's any consolation, I helped move a buddy of mine into the Q up there, and the rooms aren't bad (aside from being in the middle of nowhere that is:tongue2_1).

Milton blows chunks, so living off base won't be that much more fun (we were the first AMDO class at Whiting). However, there was a pretty good sportsbar on the "main strip" of milton that had a 25cent wing special on Tuesdays...anyone know what the name of that place is? I can't remember for the life of me.

We were down in the transit rooms, which were basically a one bedroom apt. You walked in, there was the living room/kitchen, and a bedroom. However, since we were only there for 10 weeks, we had 2 TVs, a mini-stereo and all that good stuff. I think you're responsible for setting up your own cable, etc.
From what I have heard from other pilots is that the Q at Whiting is nicer than the one at P-cola. The gym is decent, and pretty convienent if you live at the Q.

IMHO Whiting and P-cola both have a pretty nice Q, although I haven't lived in Whiting's yet, only helped someone else move in. As far as sucking it up, I definitely didn't mean to come across as lazy. That's exactly my plan, to stay in the Q and study my butt off to get my 1st pick. I was just being a little tongue-in-cheek since I know the draft rubs some people the wrong way.
Anyhow, the permanent room I saw at Whiting was similar in design to Mainside Pensacola. The kitchenette has a little more space and a bar dividing it from the living room. It's still the same basic theme, living room w/ kitchenette and bedroom w/ attached head. The bedroom had a really cool bookshelf; wish I had one of those down here. I don't remember if there's an in-unit washer and dryer like Pensacola. Hope this helps.
