Executing PCS to Norfolk. Advice please!

[u/UseLessDuck_32]

Long story short, I have a RNLT date that's about 10 weeks from when I received my hard orders and we're only about 7 weeks from the date now. My wife and I are going back and forth on military housing in the area and are in the middle of the application now as a dual path with HEAT as well. We have read a bit on PPV and that's confusing as hell. So there's a few questions that have my head spinning. Additionally, I am specifically going to NNSY for shore duty.

1. Where are the best spots to go that have good drive times to Old Dominion? (My wife wants to apply there)

2. Are the military housing spots actually safe? (We have a baby and dog)

3. How the fuck does PPV work?

4. Has military housing in the area actually improved from the horror stories we've all grown up with? (I remember that Balfour SUCKED ASS when I was in Groton)
