Wow thanks MamaMiri. That sucks. I don't have a license or a car, so without a bus system or cheap taxi I'd be stranded at home with my baby too.

Comment by MamaMiri (FT) on November 26, 2011 at 8:37pm

No. We only have one car between us and that's workable but tough. It's a big hassle to coordinate with my husband's schedule if I need the car. I can walk to base (about 15 minute walk just to the gate, more depending on where on base), the corner gas station, the dolphin mart, and the parks in housing but that's about it. Also the road to base can be a bit on the dark side at night (which is after 4:30ish in the winter) and there is no crosswalk/walk signals at the intersection to the road to the gate so not all that safe. There doesn't appear to be much of a bus system. I save most of what I need to do for when I can have the car, and it's tough in some ways to be stranded at home all the time with a toddler. But we can't afford a second vehicle right now, so I pretty much just suck it up and hope we get to move somewhere with better transportation next year.

For anyone living in Groton:

Would it be easy to lvie there without a car? Where I'm at now I can either walk to the grocery store or take a bus but IDK how that works there.

I know here at the Sub base families can sign up as well as sailors and you get to have them in your home for thanksgiving dinner and xmas ... I didn't need to sign up since I feel like I've adopted my husband's friends..LOL.. I have about 6 of them coming over for Thanksgiving..So if you guys can adopt a Sailor.. Lots of them can't make it home for the holidays and its a nice way for us to give something back :)

Comment by Ari♥ on November 8, 2011 at 12:15pm

Comment by Zahi Merz on November 8, 2011 at 11:28am
