Lieutenant Commander Sessions and Spouse Weigh in on Navigating Military Life and Hampton Roads Local

Lieutenant Commander, Communications Officer (LCDR-COMMO) Eric Sessions, currently stationed at JEB Little Creek, has proudly served in the U.S. Navy for 19 years and is now preparing for retirement. He initially joined the military in pursuit of better career opportunities and success, and throughout his service, he has accomplished just that. As he looks ahead to civilian life, LCDR-COMMO Sessions plans to make up for the time spent away from his family and may even transition into a full-time civilian career. 

 

LCDR-COMMO Sessions and his wife, Kristen Sessions, have been married for nine years, and have been stationed in the Hampton Roads area since the spring of 2019. Originally from Georgetown, South Carolina, the couple often shares how much they miss their families back home. Together, they are proud parents to three beautiful children—Ava (10), Jada (8), and Eric Sessions III (2). As a family, they enjoy activities such as bowling, golfing, and shopping at the Navy Exchange (NEX) on base. They also take advantage of the Tickets and Travel program to receive discounted tickets for Busch Gardens and other attrations in the Hampton Roads area. Additionally, they seek out fun family fitness activities and arts and crafts to enjoy together. 

 

Through their experiences, LCDR-COMMO Sessions and Kristen have expressed the need for more support groups and meet-ups for military spouses with deployed partners. They understand the challenges that come with military life and believe that additional resources for spouses would greatly benefit the community. 

 

Having lived in Hampton Roads for nearly six years, LCDR-COMMO Sessions and Kristen have also established a successful real estate business, Sessions Realty Group, powered by Fathom Realty. Their business focuses on assisting fellow military families with relocation, ensuring they find the perfect home and have a smooth transition into the area. 
When asked about the Hampton Roads Local webpage, Kristen enthusiastically responded: “The Hampton Roads Local webpage is great! It has contact information for just about every resource you need if you are relocating to the area or already here. The childcare contacts listed on the website are invaluable—this is one of the most frequently asked questions, along with housing. I will be sending this to military families that I assist with relocations to the area!” 

 

LCDR-COMMO Sessions and Kristen continue to be dedicated not only to their family but also to supporting the military community in Hampton Roads. Their contributions, both in service and through their real estate business, are a testament to their commitment to helping others navigate the challenges of military life.
