Military bases are old and the areas immediatly around them are usualy run down. I have to say where we are now, Groton is pretty safe its downright boring but every base has areas that are "black listed" so to speak.. Sailors depending on rank can get into serious trouble for going there. Usualy night clubs, strip clubs and bars...The biggest thing was going to Tijuanna when stationed in SanDiego my husband myself and our friends were guilty of that in our younger (stupid) days.

I love the Naval Air Museum! We went twice during my visit.
Corry Station - It always amazes me how people think they can let their guard down when they are on military bases or college campuses. Think about it...wrong doers are attracted to places with lots of activity, valuables, etc. Military bases and college campuses are like malls to people with ill intent. I felt safe at Corry Station and NAS. There are areas around Corry Station that are supposed to attract the military - bars, etc. They know or learn very quickly - not the best choices. Corry Station has great facilities and NAS has such an expansive area to run - and the beach! Sure there are some shady areas - but not unlike most universities - where you must be aware of your surroundings. I use to live in South Florida and saw areas not unlike those around Corry and NAS. I did not have issues with the area at all. : ) ~ kk

There are worse areas of Pensacola than around Corry! Usually the areas around any military installation aren't great.
I think the students should be instructed to make sure they wear light colored or reflective clothing when walking around the area! I think that is more of a danger! I see students walking down 98 at night in dark clothes all the time!

It took Chris less than two weeks to get to Phase II, so if you send his stuff as soon as he arrives at A school ( use slow, cheap shipping). The box will probably arrive just before he earns them.
Chris said he was *allowed* to have civvies in his locker, he just wasn't allowed to wear them yet.

Almost 5 years.

So when should we expect to have to send his clothes when he arrives at Corry?

I hadn't heard about the gang thing and we live near Corry.
The Naval Air museum is lots of fun. Some people like Lambert's out in Foley Alabama. I like having lunch at Hemingway's on Pensacola Beach so I can sit and look at the water. Flounder's is also a favorite in that area.

Ok, so most of my ideas of fun involves food!

Chris officially made Phase II today, civilian clothes and off-base privileges. He asked me to ship his clothes, but to go through them first to make sure all of the shirts have some kind of big commercial or school/Navy/etc logo on them. Apparently "plain" shirts of any color are "gang colors" in the Corry neighborhood. so they aren't allowed to wear plain shirts. Jeez! They are also required to go out in groups of three. Two isn't enough of a buddy system, apparently.
I also found out my in-laws, who live 6 hours away from him in Georgia, will be visiting him next weekend. He's bored and lonely, so they're going to take him to a few fun places in the area. Any suggestions for the Pensacola area?

Last night I almost laughed at Chris. He was complaining that one of his room mates is "messy." LOL, him complaining about messy? Who is this sailor and what did they do with my son. who couldn't figure out how to pick up a floor?

When Chris called the first time from his cell phone the first words out of his mouth were "Did you ship the iPod with it turned on!?" The battery was dead and he wanted to know why. All he had to do was charge it, and I told him so. It was almost funny, he was so upset!
