volunteer for a charity (i.e., a soup kitchen, reading books to children, etc.) makes you really appreciate the fact that, while you may be single, you are still better off than some folks are. 
another option would be to host a holiday dinner for some of the people on base who cannot get away for the holidays to be with their families. We used to invite the younger airmen from our base via the first sergeant (not sure what the navy equivalent is) and have them over for dinner. usually made some new friends that way, too.
the key is to remove the focus from yourself to others.

You could either:
- Hang out with other single friends doing fun grown-up things that the marrieds-with-children can't OR
- Join me and mine for our full extended-family Christmas Eve. Watch the chaos, hear the deafening noise, see the over-indulgence of already spoiled children. Then run back to the sanctity of your home and thank God you're single!

Isn't that the truth!
The grass is always greener, ya know? It would be nice if all the singles and all the marrieds, all the parents and all the childless, could change places for a week. Then everyone could go back to their regular life and be happy with it.
Hi Lori!
I, too...am miserably single, and new to the area.
It's especially tough being in that situation any time, much less during the holidays.
Hang in there, though...you probably stand a good chance of meeting the right person.
I think I may have used up all of my options.
Oh...and by the way...what are you wearing?

Formal?
Now I'm REALLY laughing!
Nah...that's just the name. It's a local redneck bowling alley in Calvert County..named for the highly esteemed Lord Calvert.
I don't bowl worth a flip...but I have a couple of friends who live there, and it's about 5 miles from my shack...
