VFW Post 392 Canteen/Kitchen Hours
The Post operating hours are Saturday through Thursday, 1100-2200 (except on Cootie Breakfast Sundays, when we open the Canteen at 1000) and Fridays from 1100-2300 remain in place. Gaming is permitted during the time we are open but no later than 0100. Since we close earlier, there is no impact to our operating hours.

Pursuant to our amended Standard Operating Procedures, approved on 12/6/2022, the Bartender/ABC Manager/Gaming Manager has the authority to close the Canteen at any time after 2030 if in his or her opinion insufficient business is being conducted to justify keeping the Canteen open. Further, the gaming machines will be physically turned off each night at closing time and turned back on at opening time the next day.

Any concerns regarding these changes shall be addressed to the Canteen Manager or Quartermaster, as appropriate. We must comply with Virginia law.

From VFW Post 392 Canteen Manager Shelly Hughes:
VFW Post Members,
Good Day! I wanted to address a few issues we are having with regard to our access control system door locks, electronic key fobs, and their usage. The purpose of the newer system of door locks and key fobs is to protect our members and our employees from unnecessary risks. The system only works if we as a group use it appropriately. Having said that please follow the procedures listed below:
1. Please bring your fob with you when visiting the Post. This saves the bartenders from having to confirm your membership and authorization to use the facility. If guests accompany you, they must be signed in immediately upon arrival.
2. Opening the door(s) and allowing access to our Post is the responsibility of the bartender on duty. Please don't open the door for anyone that doesn't have their fob. Again, this is the responsibility of the bartender on duty.
3. Never allow access to the Post to anyone that you don't personally know. We need to know their reason for wanting access and review photo identification for all individuals that are not known members.
4. Never, under any circumstances, should any exterior access door be propped open without the express permission of the Quartermaster, Canteen Manager, or bartender on duty, and then only for long enough to move deliveries or equipment through the door. Exterior doors will not be left open if unattended.
Violations of this policy will be reported to the House Committee Chairperson for action.
If you need a replacement fob or haven't picked up your fob from the Post, please see the bartender on duty or Quartermaster John Phillips.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
Shelly Hughes

VFW 392 EVENING WITH THE NORFOLK TIDES BASEBALL TEAM
Sunday, June 1st, Game Time 6:35 PM, at Harbor Park
From Steve Wilkins, Post 392 Events Coordinator
(Changed from the originally announced May 31st date)
From Events Coordinator Steve
Wilkins: Ok everyone, we all had such a great time at
the game in April that I have already had a lot of
people asking me about the next one. Well, here it is.
The Norfolk Tides are hosting the Lehigh Valley (PA)
Ironpigs (Pirates farm team). $45 for the buffet and
seats for a Saturday night game on May 31st, so it would
not be so hot out during the day. Cash App
(SteveDawg73), Venmo, and Zelle still accepted, as well
as cash. Need to know NLT 26 May. Catch me at the Post
or message me here on Facebook.
NEW UPDATE: Ok, I promise this will be the last
update for the game. After some pretty positive feedback and not
getting enough people to secure the group discount, the chance for
the best turnouts and the best time for people have will be to have
an outing on a Sunday afternoon. I was trying to make it so it would
not be as hot for people, but there is always the AC of the
restaurant if people get a little warm outside. Still $45 a ticket,
and if you cannot go, I will get a refund for you since this is
another change on my part to try to accommodate the majority.
Sorry again for the switch, but this is the final one I promise. ONLY PEOPLE THAT PAY ME
WILL GET A GUARANTEED SEAT!!! - Steve (Click the flyer
to open a pdf copy of it).
You can contact Steve to
obtain tickets and make payment at SteveDawg73 on Cash
App, or his phone number for Zelle: 757-416-2954. You
can find this event on our Facebook Page at
