Unfurnished housing means when you get your BOQ room, you can take all the stuff out of it and they'll put it into their storage, and then you can move your stuff in. The BOQ is nice, but if you have couches and stuff, none of that will fit. There's room for a bed, computer desk, big screen TV if you have it, and a reclining chair. There's already a chest of drawers in it for your clothes. It's more apartment style, no barracks crap. Don't let people fool you, the 15 day program is nothing compared to 15 days at TBS, you get 15 nearly uninterrupted days to learn what you need to learn, and totally engross yourself in the task at hand, I didn't mind it at all and I think most the martime guys here would say the same thing. At the longest, you might have a 10-15 minute drive to base from the W side of town, with absolutely no traffic so compared to Pensacola it's a dream. As for an extra 10 minutes of sleep? Sleep's a comfort based decision, you should know that. Most of the descent places off base aren't apartments, more like townhomes or condo's. I know there are lots of descent houses on the NW and W side of town over by Wal-Mart that can be had for about $575-$600, 2.5 car garage and 3 bedroom/1 bath, which isn't bad. The NE side of town is ghetto but cheap, I wouldn't. Sunridge Townhomes I think it's called, or Vance East as they like to call it, isn't bad, big and spacious, for about $650 or so, 3 bedroom/2 bathroom. Do you have a roommate? You'd need one for most places off base due to the prices? Are you married?
