Does anyone know of any nice 1/1.5 town homes in the Norfolk, Suffolk, Chesapeake, VA Beach, or Portsmouth area?

Hello everyone.  My Sailor has been home for 2 weeks and leaves in 2 days to be stationed in Norfolk.  Any suggestions or tips for  him?  He will be assigned to the San Antonio.  It's been a great visit.  Sorry to see him leave but know that it is a good thing for him.  Anyone else have a Sailor or know of one on the San Antonio?

Francine...my son had a speeding ticket and pretty much the same as what Sue said applied to him.  Apparently it's pretty standard for them to send a higher ranking person to appear with them at the hearing.  My son's command told him told him to wear his Dress Whites though.  Since my son is a MA he had already taken the safety driving test so it all worked out for him...thankfully his 1st class was there to tell the Judge he had taken the classes as part of his MA training.  Good Luck!!

Francine,  I can't speak for a speeding ticket but my son had an accident and had to go to court.  Someone from his command met him at court and was with him during the hearing.  He had to pay a fine and take a safe drivers course which is offered by the Navy.  He took the course (8 hours) and turned into the court the certificate from the Navy showing he completed the course.  This helped him with his driving record as well as insurance. The Navy requires them to dress in uniform when appearing at court.  He wore his NSU uniform. My only suggestion would be to remind your son to be respectful of the process, which I am sure he will be.  He made a mistake. Good luck and our prayers are with you.
