Billeting is a place on the base that visitors can stay. There was the Navy Lodge and billeting at GL but here at GC there only seems to be the Villas. I did not see them but they are like a small apartment. and Bedroom with door and a sitting room separate from the bedroom. Much like a suite at a hotel. But again take the above with a grain of salt as i did not see them. the cost is usually around $40
Joe Comment by Joe 5 hours ago
wolfie? what is billeting and why be afraid at night in that area close to the base?could you be more specific? having never been to GC before it would be nice to know.

My boy told us before we came not to stay in GC that it was a bad area. Patriots point also has a lot to see and do we made a trip out of our time there. We landed in Norfolk Virginia and drove along the coast and the outer bank, down to Savannah Georgia. we got to see the boy on the weekend before graduation, and then for about 3 day before the graduation as well. It was a very nice trip

We visited our sailor over the July 4th weekend last summer. There are many nice motels within 15-20 minutes of the base off the interstate. The motels near base do look a bit questionable.

Wolfie Comment by Wolfie 15 hours ago
A while back someone asked about billeting at GC. I am here now and the base does have on base Villas but they fill up quickly. They are available to reserve 90 days in advance the number to reserve them is (843)-764-2120 good luck when I asked yesterday 3/12/2010 they were booked through the whole month of March. Local hotels did not look all that great hotels looked nice but i would be afraid to leave at night. We are staying on University Ave aabout 10 minutes from the base where we can meet out son. They Air Base billeting is closed unless you are going to Afgan. How long this restriction will last is unknown.

As long as he has a copy of the agreement and the creditors are being paid he will be fine.
George H Comment by George H on March 10, 2010 at 12:54pm
Thank you for all of the feedback. He is working with credible credit counseling company to pay back his creditors. I know that recruiters will sugar coat things and that's why I wanted to get feedback from people who were in a similar situation or know/knew someone in a similar situation. Again, thank you for your feedback and good luck to your sons/daughters while in school and serving after school.

As long as he has an agreement with the creditors and is paying them he will be fine. I tried to convince my son to set up an allotment to his creditors but he chose to pay them on his own. He has been doing fine paying them and he didn't have any problems and he is past the half point of Power School. If I were you I would have him pull his own credit so that he is sure nobody is left out. That is what will cause a problem.
Mike K Comment by Mike K on March 10, 2010 at 12:02pm
A sailor that went through boot camp with mine and then on to GC has had trouble with the clearance. He owed money and had questionable credit. As I understand it, they can go through A school without the clearance but can not start Power School without it. This friend's clearance did not come through and he has been on T track since October waiting. My sailor said the clearance finally did come through and he will class up with the next Power School class but it took many months. How your son's credit and loan situation will play out is anyone's guess and the Navy is the Navy and who knows what they will do. I don't mean to sound negative but recruiters will tell recruits just about anything but it sounds like from my sailors friend's experience, they try to work things out.
