  • Former Camp Nimitz; Navy Recruit Training Command, San Diego, fuzzman65 (guest) wrote 15 years ago:
    It was a sad sight to see all of the empty buildings and barracks. It was almost like everyone just decided to leave and never come back. Thanks to the lowly-scumbags of inner San Diego, many of the buildings were damaged in every, shape and form. It got so bad that the perimeter of both bases were fenced-in. One correction on the history of Camp Nimitz. The chow hall, the indoc building and the west/north half of the barracks complex were literally ground-up with hugh piles of concrete chips and being hauled away to some other construction sight...probably a portion of Interstate or new roads. The "grinder" next to the airport was razed and is now a long-term parking for air travelers though San Diego. Taxi cab dispatch is also located in the same area. For the other half of the barracks that were razed now stands a couple of very nice looking buildings that I know nothing about. The 3-story barracks that were build around 1970 still stand and they to, experienced the same demise that the other building and barracks went through. At first the demolition and rennovation project looked absolutely disgusting to one's stomach. Every was just being knocked down and hauled away. It really did make a person feel very sad and emotional about the goings-on. However, over recent years the developer, Corky McMillian(sp) Inc. or whatever have done an excellent job of retaining the feel of a former naval base even though all of the property is now part of the city of San Diego. In my opinion, Corky dropped a big "log" when it came to preserving just a segment of both bases for former recruits to walk through and remember the old days. At this time, there are NO PLANS to rennovate just one of the barracks building on the Nimitz side. It building number 68. It seems to have avoided the brunt of the training for the San Diego Fire Department. On the advanced side there was one barracks building left standing all by itself and although it was secured, just looking at the "H"-style building brought back many a memory. I don't know what-in-the-holy-hell happened but, one day the building was there and the next day it was obliterated, literally! Corky! You dumb-ass! Those of us who graduated from boot camp or finished an A, B, or C school would have been happy to have helped with some of the expenses. For what your company destroyed and re-built, rennovation one old barracks and bringing it back to life for all to see should not have been that difficult. What a nice site to visit while one is in San Diego. Too bad, you could have saved that one wooden building and there still exists a small chance to rennovate Building 68 on the Nimitz side. However, time is running out. Father Time has taken it's toll on all of the buildings and the remaining barracks building are really an eye soar for San Diego. You have Harbor Blvd. on side along with the Spanish Landing of which has be rennovated and on the other side...destruction and just plan let-em fall down if they want to. It is indeed a sad sight and a contrast to what the other segments of both bases have been worked out. Enough for the travelog. I was fortunate enough to "see everything I wanted to see and came home numerous times with a momento or two, or three, or whatever I could handle on my own. I missed out on getting an old "scuttle-butt". I would have had a hard time checking it in at the airport for my trip home! Hopefully this little history lesson will be read by someone and they could respond in-kind. As for now, it's time for taps!

    During the 1935-1936 California Pacific Exposition, this building was known as the Ford Building, and as the name suggests, was a showcase of Ford Cars and Trucks. From above, the building is in the shape of a stylized 8. The "8" of course referring to Ford's ubiquitous flathead V8 engine.

    When I was about 4, my parents almost sent me here. It had just opened (1954), and my parents (well, mostly my mother) thought I might benefit from a good Catholic education. Boy, am I glad my dad intervened and sent me to a regular school.
