RobertBoyd Posted May 12, 2021 Posted May 12, 2021 I recently was accepted to attend WOCS. I report in two weeks. My class starts in June and ends at the end of July. With that being said, I’m trying to get a jump on finding a place to live following WOCS. Trying to live off base so I can pocket extra BAH plus currently at Stewart it’s a headache to even have family visit if you live on base. Does anyone have any recommendations to good places to look or certain parts I should sway towards or avoid? Any info helps. Thanks! Quote
mike0331 Posted May 12, 2021 Posted May 12, 2021 Try to find a place with a pool. My only regret about living on post. Summers are f*cking brutal and having a pool is 100% worth it. Quote
SBuzzkill Posted May 13, 2021 Posted May 13, 2021 Yeah easy access to a pool is a huge QOL boost. We had one in my neighborhood. Quote
nil5038 Posted May 13, 2021 Posted May 13, 2021 I 60% regret not living on post. I usually like living Off base. Enjoy getting away from work. But you’ll spend a lot of days where you have less than 45 minutes until your next event. Usually on my 15 minute trips two and from home on those days I wish I lived on post. Quote
Krizia Posted May 13, 2021 Posted May 13, 2021 Daleville is the closest area to where you have to be on post. Quote
Soon2be2LT Posted August 7, 2021 Posted August 7, 2021 my 0.02... Recommend living on post. I save a ton of time every day going to/from PT and to classes. Super easy to get people on post, if you're in the same car they don't even need a visitors pass. Also if you get a roommate you can still pocket half of the BAH on post since it's run by a Civ Company. My cohorts pocket maybe 200$ more a month but end up traveling probably an extra hour a day. IMO time is the most valuable commodity here. 1 Quote
