I lived in Norfolk for 4.5 years while my husband was in the RAG and then went to serve a sea tour. A lot of people have a lot of negative things to say about Norfolk but we were happy there! We had our firt born about half way through our stay and found things to do both as a couple and then as a family easily. We also liked the close proximity to other cities. If you get bored in this area you're not looking hard enough. Most of my friends were able to find jobs relatively easily. There were social options churches and schools to fit all options... and the area is huge. DO your research about the commute before you live taking into consideration the bases are spread out and make wise choices - traffic is no joke!

The Hubster is currently inbetween commands, but going to the USS Kauffman homeported in Norfolk, Virginia, next month. We have been stationed at some command or another at Norfolk Naval Station in Virginia, for the last 12 years. We are currently getting ready for our 8th deployment.
I have a personal blog and a youtube channel where I talk about the military lifestyle. On youtube, I am TheMilitaryLife.
