Due to you getting stationed there, so instead of flying there you can drive and get the travel time, because they only want you to travel 8 hour a day. So, pick a spot or two on the way that you want to visit and stay overnight.
Madd reps for you...

I had heard about that, but I never heard exactly how it was setup. No one could really say for sure.

Here's my predicament, though. I already bought a non-refundable plane ticket for this upcoming wednesday because I didn't know how the driving out there setup worked. It worked well for me because I didn't wanna drive the car, anyways, as it would just end up parked out there because I'm deploying immediately. According to my leave papers, I'm flying out there, as well. I don't have the gas money to drive the car out there, at this point. You know how PFC pay is... I was told I'll have leave when I return from my deployment, though, and also the girlfriend is wanting to move to Cali with me and has offered to bring the car...but if I can save her the trouble, or put some money towards the move, I'd like to.

Checkin' up, you're the one I talked to on the phone and advised me to stay east coast since I live here, right? As expected from military, I put in request for east coast and ended up west, LoL.

Anyways, back on topic, catch me on some ideas...
