I am well aware active duty military personnel with orders to one of the Northern Virginia military installations visit the "dot mil" sites long before they arrive in the area.  They are very familiar with what services are available and where they are located at the various instsllations.

What is not provided by the DOD sites is an online directory of life beyond the guard post.  Over the past 33 years as real estate brokers my husband and I have served hundreds of transferees (military and civilian) who relocated to Northern Virginia.  That experience has enabled us to develop an online resource directory that includes more than 100 links to

• Every county and city government site in the area as well as
• Public records sites for every jurisdiction
• Public School Sytem sites and a school evaluator site
• Schedules for every bus, train, subway and ride share in Northern Virginia
• Area colleges and universities
• Real estate sales statistics for every jurisdiction
• Museums, sports events, theatres, children's sites, etc
