I heard them amphibs roll alot. I did DDG's, FFG's, Mostly out of NOFUCK VA. ROTA, GITMO and Rosy Roads PR. I retired at the Weapons Station Goose Creek, SC.
You may think I am nuts but I absolutely love Norfolk. I would move back there in a heartbeat. Wife thinks I'm fucking nuts. Hey, it's a Sailor town and I'm a Sailor !!!!
We moved from there in 94, and just recently returned a few weeks ago for a day long event. If you haven't been there in awhile you'd never recognize it. They totally revitalized downtown - it's pristine. A trolly (light rail) runs from downtown, all the way down Hampton Blvd. to the Naval Base now! Lots of other changes.
I left in 96, went to Rota Spain then Charleston and retired. I am in Texas now. Don't miss Norfolk one bit, I was there off and on from 79 to 96.
Well then we sat on the same pier more than once then. I was there off and on from 83 - 94. You wouldn't recognize the place today. Hell, I got lost driving around, and I used to know every inch of that place.
