Your home away from home ...

The holiday season is the time of year to be together with family and friends. However, for some junior military members, the cost of flying or driving home is cost prohibitive and they are forced to spend the holidays alone.

Sailors Aweigh returns
During this time of high tempo deployments and individual augmentations, being a family member at home can be extremely stressful for an already stressful life. One way for families to spend some quality time together before, during, or after a deployment is through the Sailors Aweigh Program.

Vehicles are for official use only
