My father, Robert William Korinek stationed there from 1958 until it was closed in 1960. He actually locked the final gate (according to him). I lived there during that time. I was 3 in 1958. have a picture of me in our yard. You can see the other Quonset huts in the background. I vividly remember the base.

This is no longer a Red Robin. It is Sol Y Mar, a very nice Mexican restaurant and cantina. Great food, huge portions. Try their Cadillac Margarita! The ceviche is very good. Fish tacos Ensenadas - very special. Carnitas is great, too. Staff is helpful and friendly. Decor is "festive". Sometimes there are mariachis.

The carnitas is great. Try their "loco" burrito w/ fish and shrimp. Enchiladas are great. Everything on the menu is great.

My dad was assigned there in 1959 (I was 9) thru closure the next year. We lived in Quonset huts on Camp Elliott. The huts were in the landing pattern for pilots doing carrier ops training at Miramar. Movies were a dime and then dropped to free. When we lived there the dependent pool's life guard duties were handled by prisoners. I'm sure they were supervised, but there were times water battles using the fire extinguishers occurred. It was the only place I've seen any "flag" flying higher than the American flag. During church service on Sundays a blue pennant with a gold cross flew above the flag.

USS Recruit? Company commanders referred to it as the USS Neversail. 1965. Had to lose step crossing the little bridge (Camp Nimitz) because marching companies supposedly caused structural damage. My boondockers left plenty of skidmarks on the grinder at Nimitz.
