David,
Welcome to VA-85 on NavyVets.com. I haven't been visiting the site as often as I used to. Seems like Facebook has been more popular these past couple of years. However there's been quite a few comments among us former personnel, so you may want to read through them to get caught up. Also, feel free to upload any pictures you have that you're wanting to share. You're welcome to check the ones I posted in my profile. Perhaps you'll recognize a few people and places.
Our last reunion, Sept 2011, was a real hoot! Hopefully the next one will be better. It's targeted for 2014. No dates or destination has been set, but several members are not opposed to returning back to Oceana/Va. Beach. Would you be interested in going?
If you want to get on the roster, let me know. -Al
