Waaaaaay beyond cool! LOL!
Gosh, your one-car dilemma was about the same as ours at most of our bases.I don’t know about you, but I HATED being stranded without a car. When we moved to GA, he got a little Sears Vespa-like motorscooter and it was a life saver. l could get a job, and it saved a ton of gas. LOL! Of course, I worried.
What large city was the camp near? Did y’all take special trips into it to do fun stuff? We went to Atlanta. Or Macon.
I really didn’t need the car for much so it wasn’t too bad. We finally got a second car a couple of months before he was discharged and I didn’t drive it all that much.
The base is outside Jacksonville and at that time (early ‘70s) there wasn’t much to it. No reason for special trips, that’s for sure.
If we went anywhere, it was to Surf City in Topsail Island to hang out on the beach.
