That's a bummer. When I was stationed at Camp Pendleton with the Marine Corps in the 1980s, I must have walked out on that pier a hundred times. Also did a lot of fishing off that pier back in the day.

Just last October, I flew out to San Diego for a company event and took an Uber to that pier to revisit old memories. It had changed a lot (and for the worse). There were a lot of smelly bums living out of their cars on N. Pacific St.

At the end of that pier was the Top Gun House (from the movie). Now I left Oceanside in 1985 just before that movie came out, so that tourist attraction was new to me.

Me too, 81 to 83 at Pendleton. Out on the pier quite a bit.

I started up the new boilers at the Camp Pendleton Hospital in ‘74. I had the pleasure of being in the boiler room when an electrician dropped his fish tape on a 480V bus -— ZAAP!! POOF!! Blinding blue flash arc light. Bzzzt. Now that was excitement. He walked away, too.

Never did walk the pier, though.
