Some may disagree, but I also felt that the instructors in Corpus (VT-28 in particular) were a lot more relaxed than they were in Whiting. Going into advanced at South Field, everyone said that it was going to be more relaxed than it was in primary. Well, it was if you did Primary at Whiting or Vance. The Corpus studs wanted to know why everyone was so uptight.
Also consider what you want to do in your off time. If you like to hunt and fish, Corpus is the place to be. I don't know what they do in Vance, hang out at the Wall-Mart, maybe. Milton is a decent little town and there is some stuff to do, but since New Orleans has been knocked out, there really are not big towns to find good night-life at. San Antonio and Austin are a really easy drive from Corpus.
Agree 100%, did primary at North Field and am now at South Field and things are MASSIVELY more relaxed than up north...just take it for what its worth.
