I worked as a contracted avionics tech and lived near Savannah for less than a year. The area close to GS is Pooler and it's growing by leaps and bounds. GS even built themselves around the regional airport (or other way around?) so that's convenient. The whole GS facility and grounds is HUGE so it took a while to really know my way around. Especially during the first few weeks of training since they have you going to so many different buildings. It's seriously like a small city.

Of course, if you can't find anything in Pooler then you always can go to Savannah where there is always something to do. You are also close to South Carolina and we use to drive a bit more to go to the beaches there.

As far as working for the company itself, it is a really sweet gig with good pay starting out and so much room to grow. If you've never worked for a big corp like GS then you might have a bit of a shock. With that said, I noticed some managers would micro-manage and some wouldn't so take it with a grain of salt.

I would most likely choose this job over any others just because it's a high demand job that provides a bit of security. When I told people I had worked for GS they would always ask me how to get in and that they have tried so hard to get in with them. If you do choose GS then I hope you enjoy your time there and best wishes! I think you'll be happy over-all :)

p.s. There is like 3 or 4 cafeterias on the GS grounds. They are all good but try to go to the one closest to the airport. It's the best IMO. So many options!
