Hey Loni, I got back from serving there about 6 months ago. There's a few things to remember VA is really humid is some areas so in the summer short sleeves are the only way. Also you will have a car so that might help you make some decision. I would buy a coat to take or have someone mail one to you around sept., it's really hard to find the time and miles to go shopping. The winters are pretty cold because of the humidity. Make sure your coat is long otherwise your legs will freeze. As for boats I would definitely take some with you but don't get heels they are horrible to tract in. I found a lot of good mission cloths at chadwicks.com.
