It's every 30. I guess it could be a pain, especially after a late sim. Suppose I was assuming you'd be studying at training center and time your exit to meet the shuttle. Depends if the convenience outweighs the cost savings.

Not trying to talk anyone into anything, just laying out options as I saw them. Cheapest/easiest option is a crash pad off VA. Next easiest is a VA hotel.

Airbnb is another option for those that have a car. I think I paid something like 800 for the month and split a house with another in my class. It was 10 minutes door-to-door from the training center and cheaper than even the cheapest hotel in the long run.

If you stay at a hotel on Virginia Ave. you can walk back and forth to training. I stayed at the Holiday Inn and walked every day. The only shady thing I saw in the six weeks I was there was a few "ladies of the night" at the Econo Lodge.

They're like forts down south, you can always see one from another.

After missing the last train to Yuma (S3B), I repaired to the Wellesley, a young debutante asked me for a date. I replied that free Viagra needed to be included. My answer was FUMF... Not very nice. EconoLodge it is.
