you might as well wait so you dont have that extra car payment/insurance while your gone and cant drive it.

buy a beater at your first assignment and then upgrade after you have settled in and can see what your finances look like.

do not judge your money on the money you see during basic/ait.

this is all true. i would wait till after you settle in to your unit. but when you are ready dont buy from the town in which you are stationd. they like to sell cars with super high intrest.

man just wait it out and save up money then pay cash for it, 4 reasons for this, 1) you can get it cheaper with cash in hand 2)you need to worry about other **** when you first get in and a car note is not one of them 3)you dont know where in the hell you are gonna be in the next 6 months 4)you can save and then put some mods on it right away lol

Advice? Just remember you aint **** and you'll be alright. Seriously, like he said keep your mouth shut, do what you gotta do. Teamwork is key, that's one of the biggest things, you all gotta work together. You live together, eat together, sleep together, **** together, and most importantly get smoked together. Nothing in basic is really that hard, just try not to get your panties in a bunch if they get up in your face. If I were you I would wait, see if you get deployed, because that's a nice chunk of change, I came back with 25K on my E-4 pay, and that was only a 12 month tour. Good luck and hang in there.

Oh, yeah, if you ever pull someone over in a green Z28, don't give them a ticket!
