I did a 2 leg commute to ORF for about 2 years. It wasn't fun. Prob is that there arent many options late in the evening. It's been 5+ years now but I believe the latest flight I could catch out was like 7 pm or something like that. Granted, I also had to make a connection in ATL or CLT so maybe that is why 7 was the latest I could commute out. There were a lot of RJ's and seemed to always be full. Good luck. Living in base is definitely the way to go.
