momma - It is easy to know what a DC does since that is what my daughter is. AVU? Sounds like an aviation rate, but I couldn't find that one.

Wow! There are a lot of you moms who's sons have arrived here recently! Just to let you all know, my husband and I open our home on the weekends and invite sailors over to eat, play board games, eat some more and hang out together. So. if any of them would be interested, we would love to invite them over to join us. We have sailors from several different ships who come over and if they need a ride we are always happy to provide them with one. Let us know and we can pm any of you our cell number.

letyrod - glad your son was able to move off base. My son lives in an apt in VA Beach with another nuke that he went through school with. They have become best of friends over the last 2 years and also shared an apt in NY. His roommate is on the Bush. It's unfortunate that people can't respect other's property - I've told my son to make sure he marks all his stuff when he goes on the ship!

My son will be finishing up A school next week and heading to Norfolk after a few days of leave. He's very excited and I'm very nervous. We have been lucky to have him a few hours from home these last 10 months that he's been in.

Happy Mother's Day weekend! Know that if your sailor isn't able to call (needs of the Navy, remember!), he or she is holding you dear in their heart.

Does anyone know of a place or facebook page for buying/selling furniture or household goods from military who may be moving? Today my son moved into the place he rented for him and his soon to be wife, and considering he has lived on the ship for over a year and a half, that consists of his clothes, uniforms and computer. lol. We face timed earlier so he could show it to me, and it's quite empty. Since everything they buy or get as wedding gifts has to be hauled out there, they were wanting to just buy their bigger furniture when they get there next week after the wedding.

I hope everyone had a good weekend.....

Tracy, they can join this group on Facebook: "Buy, Sell & Trade of Norfolk, Chesapeake, Virginia Beach &.... Of course there's Craigslist too. If they're up for it, there's also an Ikea in Woodbridge Virginia, about a 2.5 hr drive north; my son pretty much furnished his first apartment in Portsmouth there - brought it all back and assembled it.

Highly recommend The Myrtles at Olde Towne in Portsmouth (the collection of three story red brick buildings, not the "sister" high-rise across the street), right next to Naval Medical Center Portsmouth at the corner of Effingham and Crawford Parkway. Safe, well managed, great amenities, and you can walk to the ferry that goes to Norfolk's Waterside (McArthur Mall etc) too. http://www.myrtles-apts.com
