Just wondering how many members of the military community (active and retired) have looked at the Navy Recreational Facility down the road from Joe's for accommadations for the mod meet? It is a bit more expensive than TLF or Navy lodge at NAS Pax River but cheaper than hotels in the area.

The log cabins sleep 6 or 8 per side for $85 or both sides for 140.

Interesting...

I'm still undecided if I'm sleeping over. If so, I plan to sleep on the garage floor

Brad Kenny · « **Reply #3 on:** April 08, 2010, 06:23:01 PM »

I am active duty... Did not know about this... Deep please PM info if you have any. Also, planning on sleeping under my car on jackstands while working on it... HA HA

It's at the Solomon's Navy Rec Center. About 4 miles from my place and yes a CAC will suffice to get on the base but you have to have a military ID to rent the place.

Joe, if it's like the Navy lodge here, as long as one person is Military, they can have non military guests with them at the lodge, is that what you meant?

Here is the link, from here click on lodging. You will probably get a bad certificate error, but you can accept it and go to the site. When I checked earlier this week they had appartments, logcabins, and bungalows available. The contact numbers are:

410.286.7301/7302/5529/7416. It seems to be a lottery which ones are on machine and which one they answer. According to the web site it is open to and with the following priorities:
Active duty/reserves
retired
dod civilians

Thanks Critterman, working it...

Brad Kenny · « **Reply #10 on:** April 09, 2010, 10:41:43 AM »

1 Bedroom apartment 70 a night
2 bedroom apartment 80 a night
1 bedroom log cabin 85 a night
2 bedroom house 100 per night...

Any military taker want to share a two bedroom...

Don't think we could beat this deal in town and it is close.

BTW, I am active duty, so get first choice. Plenty of places available.

Go-N Def · « **Reply #11 on:** April 09, 2010, 10:46:20 AM »

I've stayed there before, pretty nice spot. The place I stayed in had fully furnished kitchen and 3 bedrooms (queen sized beds) and a couch. Nice little deck on the front also. They will let anyone through the gate as long as they are escorted by a someone with a DOD ID. I give it 3 thumbs up!

Critterman · « **Reply #12 on:** April 09, 2010, 03:19:55 PM »

All the cottages where taken (flag officer housing) waterfront 4-5 bedroom, maybe next time

CT I tought all the bungalos (brick ranchers) were 3 bedroom, didn't know they had 2 bedroom as well.

2kwk4u · « **Reply #13 on:** April 09, 2010, 08:31:34 PM »

OK, I'm in, CT. How many nights are you staying?

smartin · « **Reply #14 on:** April 13, 2010, 02:30:39 PM »

I want to stay in one of the cottages but I live too close to justify it.

Brad Kenny · « **Reply #15 on:** April 13, 2010, 02:36:00 PM »

We are doing a place for a few nights at the beginning of the MM... Work has been hectic this week, no time for reservation. Still working it. I will post what they stil have available when I get a chance.

I got my information in the mail yesterday, CT and 2k pm me which unit you have, or Scott you can call me when you and CT hook up. CT is a bublehead, so you may need to drop some sonobuoys to keep track of him

From what I hear so do the Marines but then they're not picky, the pigs, otters, and 6

es I mean.

Critterman · « **Reply #21 on:** April 14, 2010, 10:22:24 AM »

Any ship can be a minesweeper - ONCE

pigs - long torpedo shaped floats that support the ends of the cutting cables as they are draged through the water
otters - vented squares at the bottom of the support cable, they guide the direction of the cutter cable under tow
6:censor: - accoustic box towed through the water to represent different propeller sounds
2victor - another accoustic box, this one makes machinery sounds
magnetic cable - sends possitive and negative magnetic pulses throught the water, each pulse uses as much electricity as a major city does in 15 minutes, pulses about once a minute.

More nonsense you didn't want to know

I now have a THREE bedroom cottage for the 29th through the 1st of May... Currently there is only TWO of us staying in the cottage.

Anybody else need a place to stay CHEAP!!! ($50.00 for two nights)

PM me, DOD, Retired, or Active Duty only please, I will pass on details.

Uranium-238 · « **Reply #23 on:** April 16, 2010, 10:24:54 AM »

I think government contractors can stay at the rec center, they just can't be the one renting the facility. Anyone with a CAC can get on the base.

Critterman · « **Reply #24 on:** April 16, 2010, 10:48:42 AM »

Anyone can stay as a guest of someone authorized to rent, Military active/reserve/retired, DOD employees active/retired, and I believe other government employees.
