FRA Branch 269
relocated their facilities from Red Bank Road in Goose Creek to Wisteria Road
in Goose Creek back in August of 2006. It is a little off the beaten
path, but not hard to find. It is located just off of Red Bank Road near
the intersection of St. James Blvd, Red Bank Rd and Hwy 52. This new
facility is beautiful! The canteen is huge and clean . In the Canteen you will find various arcade games and Pool Tables.
Every Friday they have a Scotch Doubles Pool Tournament and on Saturday night
they have a Pool Tournament too. If you like to sing you can catch
Karaoke there every Friday and Saturday
night. You can be a Karaoke Star and get your 15 minutes of fame right
here amongst your Fleet friends.
They also have a full kitchen and serve really good Pub Grub at a decent price
until 10:00 PM.
You must be a member or be signed in by a member to enter the canteen
though. The FRA has made that easier then ever before. The FRA is no longer for
just active or retired members of the Navy, Marine Corp, and Coast Guard.
Eligibility has been further extended to honorably discharged members of the
Navy, Marine Corp, and Coast Guard too. Branch 269 membership has swelled to about
1000 as of August 2007. Check out FRA 269 and get an application if you
are eligible. The place is a nice "Home" where fun people congregate.
