Our son is stationed at NMCP. He would like to find a Southern Baptist Church nearby, possibly one that would pick him up. Any suggestions?

Let's see, the USS Iwo Jima Amphibious Readiness Group deployed nine months ago - want to bet more than a few dads are on the USS Iwo Jima, USS New York, and USS Gunston Hall? :)

Thought this was sweet, from Navy Medical Center Portsmouth on Facebook today ...
OH, BABY! Friday was a banner day in the Labor and Delivery Department with 22 deliveries, more than twice the usual number of births in a day! There were 13 natural births and nine babies delivered by caesarian section. Six extra staff members were called in, and others worked well past their typical working hours to take care of the moms and babies. Additional assistance came from the OR (which performed three of the C-sections), Ward 4E - complicated OB (which performed non-stress tests), the PACU (which provided recovery rooms) and 4KL - post partum (which was ready to accept the mothers). BZ to all who chipped in to help all the babies enter the world!

One first thought is, think about the commute, the bridges, the tunnels - and avoid if possible. The good news is, it's a great area and lots of great places to live. :)
