for the "before" gallery......


We rented a house on Mission Beach and based out of the
home for local tours and fun. We took walks on the beach,
enjoyed BBQ's tri-tip roast (most of the group not from
California had never heard of tri-tip!!!) We ate in nice
restaurants,toured USS Midway and the old NTC grounds
which now have been converted to public use.
Beautiful stores now occupy the former training buildings
but they respectfully retain the rich history of NTC. We
walked over "The Bridge", which linked the first few weeks
of boot camp to the rest of NTC. We walked all over the area
of the old barracks and actually entered one for the photos.
These buildings are now owned and used by the San Diego Fire
Department for training. It was run down and hard to imagine
the hundreds of thousands of us who went through these same
barracks over the the many years.
It was a wonderful time of renewing friendships and reliving
the memories we hold so dear........
