Some cops around here will just pull you over for that....others won't. I don't know how the bases do it now, but many years ago you still had to go get a VA inspection to get a base sticker. I think they may have stopped that though. Not sure.

ya when i was stationed in Cali i had to have my car inspected and smogged to get my base decal. My base decal from there has not expired so they should just give me a new one.

On a side note, does that area get allot of snow and salt on the roads? i only have my Camaro as a DD. i dont really want to get another vehicle but i will to ensure my car isnt messed up by the winters.

They salted one year out of the 4 I was there. In 2004 it snowed pretty good, and they salted. Every other year it just got a dusting of snow, so they didn't salt

I lived there for a while, stationed first in Newport News, living in Hampton. Then working at Norfolk, and still living in Hampton. I hated it, I didn't care much for that area either, it seemed everybody hated military. No matter what, we were stereo typed badly. I still had a good time, I guess, just didn't like the area. Hell, it is what you make of it. GL.

I'm used to people not liking Military. It happens. At least you didn't live somewhere that people hate you because you're white AND military. I'm so ready to leave Hawaii. GAHHHH!!!
Felony speeding here is 80mph too. Insane huh? My poor car, she never gets to stretch her legs, and when she does, it's a huge risk.
