Naval Training Center, San Diego, CA

Over the next several years, the former Naval Training Center (NTC) will be transformed into a new urban village called Liberty Station. Following several years of planning, including extensive public involvement, the San Diego City Council adopted a final Reuse Plan in October 1998, charting a new course for NTC. The area will be a gathering place where San Diegans can come together in an active, productive, and stimulating environment. New homes, parks, businesses, as well as cultural and educational facilities will transform the former Navy base into a vital waterfront community.

Yes I was there in Nov.1980 Co.283 under Chief Lovett, would never have thought I'd miss it so much. Did active duty at NAS Lemoore VFA-125 F/A 18 Airdale. CV-64 as well. I heard about the controversy about the Base design and just found out about it no longer being the Recruit Training Center. Hope to see some fellow shipmates that severed with me as well. Bless all who Started a New Life there as I.
