Bro drivers - What is your opinion on having a car at SLC? Is there enough time once ground school is done to drive from SLC to Fresno for the FTD stuff???

I would bring the car, unless you plan to commute to base and don't want a car there.

But on the drive from SLC to FAT, don't just blindly follow mapquest, do your homework...it will route you through the yosemite back gate which is closed seasonally. Heard of more than on person who got to the back gate and then had to detour around a very large mountain range.
