I was born in Norfolk and lived there until I was 25. Those complainers need to think about what the employment situation there would be without the military installations. They are clowns, absolute clowns.
Norfolk, VA has Traditionally treated the Navy and all of the other US Armed Sevices like SHIT! I say move the ships to Florida and NC and the A/C to what ever base has the room for them(E-2s and Helos to Langly AFB or Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, South Carolina) and the rest of the A/C to MCAS Cherry Point, NC . F&CK the local "employment situation" they can S*CK A$$ for all anyone cares.
