I'm a new Navy Mom. My son left 2 weeks ago. It's been difficult because I've not heard anything from him. His father has heard from him, I'm divorced, but he hasn't reached me yet. So, I'm silently going nuts waiting! This site has been great in filling in some of the gaps. I've enjoyed reading all of your comments. - Melissa

Hello John and Yvonne ~ My son is currently out "on bussiness" and my daughter in law is on base. She is doing good, I think. Thanks so much for asking about them.

Joslinda,

We just joined the Virginia moms. How are your son and daughter-in-law doing?

Cynthia,
I would also check on the other side of the tunnel from Norfolk. My son in law is stationed at Norfolk and he and my daughter live at Fort Monroe. This is an army base so no civilians can live there but the area she lives in is extremely nice. Check Hampton & Phoebus areas, these are cheaper than Norfolk and Virginia Beach areas. But no matter where you decide...there are always good and bad areas. If you come to Va to visit your daughter...drive around the area, that is the best way.

Linda H & Lora,
I'm in Chesterfield. My daughter was in Portsmouth for her first 3 years and I agree, it was great having her close enough. We baby-sat her stuff, car, plants, reptiles, you name it. I thought it was a perfect first assignment for her -- just close enough and far enough. Close enough that she didn't have to get permission to come home and far enough that she was on her own for the first time. It was kind of an adjustment period for the longer assignments for all of us. She's now in the middle of the Indian Ocean (1-year) and is headed for Sigonella, Sicily next spring (2-3 years). I understand about the moving too. My husband and I have moved Jenn's stuff more than we like to count!

Lora - I'm in Richmond, too. I live just south of the Short Pump Mall. Where are you? anybody else in Richmond?
