I went to McDowell back on the 70's, early 80's when my family was stationed at Miramar. We lived on base when it was Navy/Marines. (NAS Miramar). Great memories! Nice school back in the day!

I went to boot in 87 also, I was a snot-nosed 17 year old who knew it all. After 1 day I realized I didn't know s#%*! I was in company 072 from April to May. It was an experience that I'll never forget. My parents didn't even recognize me after 2 months, walked right past me. I would like to walk through my old barracks looks like its still standing. Still remember my cc's Oliver and Ford, outstanding men. They pushed me to be the best. I remember towards the end of boot I had never went to marching party and they sent me just for the hell of it. Met a lot of great people in my four years, great times!
The Landmark Ken Theater,

The Ken was NOT built in 1912. That's a false claim. It's not the oldest structure in San Diego still showing movies. For a few older examples: The Balboa Theatre was San Diego's first big downtown theater in 1924, they still have special movie screenings occasionally; La Paloma Theatre has been in operation since 1928 and shows films regularly; North Park Theatre was built in 1929, remodeled as the Fox North Park, 1932, has concerts and film; The Fox Theatre (1929) is now home to Copley Symphony but once in awhile shows films too.
The Ken Cinema was remade into how it stands today as a theater in 1947. Landmark bought it in 1975. Landmark Theatres retraced the 1912 claim and put the original building structures date somewhere between Late-1930's-40's. I don't know if the Ken showed movies before the 1940's, but they definitely couldn't have before the late 'Thirties!

I was in Company 55-284. We spent the entire 9 wks (Jun-Sep 55) at Camp Nimitz, which was new at that time. Most classes and training events were at "mainside" NTC. I recall that we had to cross an arched bridge over an inlet to get to mainside. The myth(?) was that a company marching in step might set up sympathetic vibrations that would bring down the bridge!! So we went to "rout step" as we crossed the bridge at least twice each day. There was a mess hall at Camp Nimitz where we ate morning and evening meals, but we usually had lunch at a mainside mess hall.
Interestingly, I arrived at NTC San Diego 60 yrs ago today (21 Jun 15). Our Eastern AL DC-6 from New Orleans via Little Rock with about 50 southern (AL, AR, LA, MS) recruits was unable to land at San Diego due to fog on the evening of 20 Jun, so they diverted us to LA, then bussed us back to NTC SD on the AM of 21 Jun.
