I've read through pretty much every thread on the site about housing down in Pcola for flight school. A lot of it is confusing as it pertains to specific situations, or is fairly outdated. I'm going to be finishing TBS in a couple months and i'll be heading down directly to API because I already have a PPL. My CO informed us we will be reporting there directly after TBS with little to no downtime.
I will be moving down there with my girlfriend who is a travel nurse (mostly ER and ICU), so I need to figure out what area would be the best for the API to Primary phase. I need to get a handle on this now so she can plan accordingly for job applications. I see that some people chose to live in one place for API and one for primary, is that the best course of action? Ideally we are looking for an area that is near "stuff" (i.e hospitals, beach, stores, restaurants, etc).... a more suburban area if you will, not city but not the sticks. The goal is to keep the commute to work and to fun under an hour. I'm open to a house or apartment as long as it is pet friendly.
She's getting on my case about finding an area to live so I was wondering if some guys that have been there recently have some good (current) gouge. Thanks.
