Hey Foogoo- I'm a Norfolk fireman and live in Va.Beach. There's toooooo much to do in this town to fit in a small paragraph! Unfortunately I can't hang w/ you this weekend....I'm working Sat and 1/2 Sunday.
have If you're at Little Creek (home of SEAL TEAM 2/4/training), there should be lots of opportunity to meet guys of similar background. My punk-ass Brother-in-law is a SEAL
has Across from Gate 4, about 3/4 mile East, there's a small strip mall that has the Thoroughgood Comedy club-pretty good, Extreme Outfitters-alot of knives, Eotechs, Blackhawk and Surefire stuff, a handful of bars and restaurants.
If you can get to the Pembroke Mall area of VB, there's a new "Town Center" that has roughly 10-15 new bars and restaurants, a comedy club and lots of women.
If you venture to the Oceanfront, be careful. It's a military town and the local PD and MP's have heard it all for fifty years. Stay off the beaten path and stick to local's places. ( Rudees' & Big Sam's-Winston-Salem Ave, Croc's-19th & Mediterranean) If you hit the oceanfront, the big bar area is the section between 22nd and 20th St.on Atlantic Ave. (Chicho's, Peabody's, fifteen others....)
This area is home to a gazillion women who are used to seeing military guys...so make yourself at home, have fun!
As always, welcome to the BEACH, don't drink and drive!
