Hi Norfolk family. My son is stationed on the San Jac since this November. He just lost his father in a terrible car accident on New years day. He is back on his ship now, and obviously really hurting. Please pray for him I know he would really appreciate it and so would I....thank you so much.

Everything went well with my son's move.  Took 16 hours to drive with the Uhaul and autotransport.  They have a place at Walker Chase on Tidewater.  Completely refurbished.  He was told that the Norfolk side was not the best, but she wanted a townhouse apt and she is the one that has to be happy while he is gone so what can you say.  I can see what some don't like about the area -- you can look on one side of the street and it is new and the other side is a dump.  I think the main thing you have to realize is that Norfolk is just an old town.  I have seen worse even here in Birmingham.  At least the "other side of the street" is not plowed under or boarded up and vacant.  I was impressed with the Navy Lodge in all respects -- no complaints at all.  The Navy Fed is just down the street and there is a great Mexican restaurant down the street.  I was even impressed with the Norfolk airport.  No problems getting out, I went early when leaving but could have gotten there about an hour early and been ok.

my daughter bought her honda at hall honda.  she really liked the service and the people there.  they are also a reputable business.

pschip, he should have been given a sponsor.  If he needs to find his own way to the base, it's practically next door to the Norfolk airport (literally) and it's extremely unlikely he'll be "taken advantage of," as the Navy and related industries are the dominant source of income in the area and get respect.  Don't be borrowing trouble before it happens, he'll be ok.  Seriously!  All is ok.

Hello everyone!  My son is stationed in Norfolk and has been there about 7 months. Wondering if anyone can recommend where he might find the best deal on a Honda purchase?

Navy25,  My prayers are with your son and you, hope he's getting better and just remember a mom's job is to worry about their kids, we just love them so much and always want the best for them.  I'm sure he's getting good care and like Debbie said are you able to communicate with him?

Let him know that all your friends on Norfolk Group is praying for him!

My son is also with Sandra's son we all have been on edge with this long deployment but soon we will be united again with our sailors that we are sooo proud of.

Navy25-My heart breaks for you!!! and for your son!! I pray you will be able to see him very soon and that he will be on the mend!!!

Thank you for putting into words what we all feel. Of course we want them to become wonderful men, but it is not natural for it to be so far out of reach of their Moms. Only military moms can understand. Have you been able to speak with or write to his Captain?
