The neighborhoods around Oceana and Dam Neck are totally fine. Best bases to work at in eastern Virginia as far as I know, so I'll count myself lucky in that regard. I'm from San Diego though, and have never managed to get stationed back home. Every loving time, it doesn't happen. I miss my drat burritos and OB and hills and weather and crippling droughts.

I always thought Dahlgren would be fun to work at for some reason. Seems like it kind of tucked away from lovely areas, but also not so remote to be out in the middle of no where.

Best only by virtue of being not Norfolk or Little Creek. TAD for a month here in San Diego and other than the cost of living it pretty much owns. Been a while since I've been through here. I realize I'm not saying anything that has half a brain doesn't already know.

In my building, a 5 minute walk takes me to a brewery, a winery, multiple ethnic food places, and multiple great bars. I regularly walk downtown to the Norva (concert venue). Depending on your time frame I can recommend an apartment

Finally got over here to Fort Meade. Staying on the Barracks because apparently 5 month orders aren't long enough for a full PCS move. So gently caress yeah to room inspections, having to pay for wifi again, being 5 miles from the Exchange and having like 5 different security levels on a walk across the block. I don't even think it's possible to get off the base. There's only shuttles to other parts of the base Who has two thumbs, bought cereal and milk but doesn't have a bowl. THISSSSSSSS GUY.

Yo welcome to the party! All you really need to know is the liquor store on base is open every day and almost every hour. Not the one with the Arby's the one across the street from the PX. But both gas stations sell liquor, so you shouldn't ever need to be sober. If you need something let me know, I've been here for three years now, and going on another two.

The entire "Suspended Bust" system is complete and utter bullshit, and I am ashamed that i work in an atmosphere that would rather separate me for being over physical fitness limits then someone who has shown the capability to injure/kill someone with his behavior.

drat, that'd be a really good question for ActusRhesus but he's on probation. So are you subject to UCMJ for poo poo you do before you swear in but charged with after you swear in?
