Don't base your contract decisions on Newport - nothing has good service at OCS, the building is basically a concrete fall out shelter and there are no cell towers in the immediate vicinity. I dropped about 75% of the calls made around there, and it was the same for everyone else. Pensacola, everything seems to work fine, no real complaints from anyone I know.
Also, Synix is spot on - you won't have down time as a Candio if you are doing things properly. Between liaison, duty, duty relief for chow/med appointments, wet trainer, fire trainer, pass & review practice, grad practice, PT (yea, you still have to PT) and all the other random things that come up, you should be slammed. God help the Candio on their IPhone when GySgt Flyouttatheboodandgetonyourface shows up at 0345 in the morning...
