After waiting a couple of weeks since A school graduation down in Pensacola my son recieved his orders for C School and Air Sqadron at Oceana. Not what his was hoping for but apparently I'm learning there's not much you can count on in the Navy even with top grades. Anyway the one sad part is his family which includes his son (my grandson) will finally leave and join him not that he has his assignement. I have not heard many good things about the area surronding the base there in Viriginia Beach, I was wondering if anyone out there especially anyone with a sailor with a family has any tips and suggestions on where they should look to live. Obviously there first choice is on base housing but I doubt they will get that on the first request.

Clean, affordable, convenient, and safe housing is abundant near Oceana (within fifteen minutes). I've lived in Virginia Beach since 1981 and I work a mile from Oceana. No worries.
