There are several schools for several rates at two different commands there. I know that if he is going to be at Cory Station, yes, he can have a car, but he will need to wait until he phases up. How long that takes will depend on a few things, he will have to fond that out when he gets there. The people over at the Air Station were also allowed to have a car, but it took them much longer to phase up. A good friend of my son's was at the air base while my son was at Cory. He (the friend) then ended up being perm. party there, so I don't know for sure if he got his car while at school, or once he graduated and wasn't in student status.
So - yes, he can have it, just not right away :-)

Thank you. I guess its hard being a 39 year old man who can't drive.

Oh trust me, I do feel for him. We just moved back from Japan, and there are some serious restrictions there for Navy now (we moved just before the restrictions). It's just one of those drawbacks :-(
When they first get to Pensacola, they are very limited on how much they are allowed to leave base, and aren't authorized civilian clothes right away, either. Though it could be worse - when my son was then sent to IS A school in Virginia, they had a 9:45 muster and curfew every night, Sunday - Thursday...
The good thing is, the phases don't last long, and it's not anywhere as restrictive as boot camp, but, like boot damp, it's a temporary limitation :-)
