I have a grandson stationed in Norfolk. He was hit by a car almost a year ago, on base, while he was riding his bicycle to work. He had to have surgery on his ankle which was shattered. He had metal rods and plates and was sent home to his barracks, where he lived alone, along with a prescription of heavy duty pain killers. He was rarely checked on by his command and did not have meals delivered. I did not know this at the time...when he was released to go back to work he was still using…See More

Hi JJC54 - I wanted to post a note here so that you could reply back to my profile page. I keep my comments moderated - so they do not post publicly unless I okay them.
Norfolk is a very large base, and it can be hard to deal with getting around when you are a single sailor and do not have a car. The extra issues on top of this with your grandson are very frustrating. I hope someone can give you some direction.

Then jump right in! Browse around the site and check out the groups and the information in their Discussion Forums.
Join this group for boot camp moms, where you'll also find a group for your Pass in Review (graduation) date; and this one for PIR Reference Information.
Get a head start during boot camp by joining groups for, and learning about, your Sailor's occupational specialty and "A" School; and later your Sailor's duty station and/or Navy ship and homeport. You can also join groups for your own state, region or home town and interests from getting ready for deployment to care package ideas!
Please say Hi when you join a group, and feel free to ask any and all questions - everyone was new once, and there is no "dumb" question.
