Road Trip: Naval Support Activity Charleston, South Carolina

Naval Support Activity Charleston, originally designated Naval Weapons Station Charleston, is a base of the United States Navy located on the west bank of the Cooper River, in the cities of Goose Creek and Hanahan South Carolina.

The base encompasses more than 17,000 acres of land with 10,000 acres of forest and wetlands, 16-plus miles of waterfront, four deep-water piers, 38.2 miles of railroad and 292 miles of road. The current workforce (military/civil service/contractor) numbers more than 11,000 with an additional 3,600 people in on-base family housing.

Under the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure Commission's recommendations, the Air Force jointly manages Naval Weapons Station Charleston and Charleston Air Force Base as Joint Base Charleston.

 

The Naval Support Activity expanded its mission and Department of Defense support role over time with over 40 tenant commands, and today is a training center with the Naval Nuclear Power Training Command (NNPTC), Nuclear Power Training Unit, Propulsion Facility, and Border Patrol satellite academy; Naval Consolidated Brig, Charleston; Navy Munitions Command Unit Charleston; Explosive Ordnance Detachments; Marine Corps Reserve Center; Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center engineering complex (SPAWAR, the largest employer in the Charleston area); 269 above-ground ammunition magazines, maintenance and storage of military ordnance including mines, and serves as an Army logistics hub, the busiest continental United States surface port in the defense transportation system.

In addition, it contains more than 1,800 on-base houses for Navy enlisted and officer dependents as well as Coast Guard dependents, and has a child care facility, elementary and middle schools. A large medical clinic near NNPTC in Goose Creek was added in 2008.

Driving? Flying?

Good find! Those look like the same kind of pix but yours are WWII. The museum’s set are WWI.

[radu]

Awesome! Glad she’s able to do it. I was afraid she’d be tied up with other stuff and not have time to help out with your stacks. That takes a little of the load off you. Whew!

It’s supposed to get a little warmer here today but not as bad as those 100’s earlier this summer.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good morning, E...((HUGS))...weather cooperating for you and Gizmo to “hunt”? How are Gizmo’s hunting skills?

You two have a great Tuesday.

[E.G.C.]

I’m not sure about Gizmo’s hunting skills but I do know this, he sure likes to move around quite a bit. ((LOL))

[radu]

We aren’t going to be in the triple digits but will be in the upper 80s this week. And it will be quite humid. It’s probably going to be one of those years we got from summer to winter with no nice fall break in between. :-(

Driving. It’s in central Texas. I’ll spend the night in Ft. Worth and then go to Lake Whitney the next morning. Fun, fun, fun!

[luvie]

Imagine how much those you guys have are worth. They will be a great addition to the collection.

And now...I need to collect my pillow and snooze. Peaches is thankfully out tonight so I don’t have to pet him all night long. LOL! Bless his little fuzzy heart!

See ya tomorrow night for the quiz!

Good morning, Everyone.

Good morning to our

Military, our Allies, and their families.

Thank you, Lauren, for preparing the
Canteen for today’s activities.

Road Trip!
South Carolina would most likely appreciate the business.

Checking in.
Always glad to see our heroes at work.

Nothing new around here, except
Mr. Beachy and I celebrated our 30th anniversary.
Looking forward to the next 30.
Although we may resemble the old couple,
Ruth and Tyrone, on Laugh-In. LOL

Gotta run.

Please stay.
Grab a cup of joe or tasty tea.
Chat with the military and/or the family they left behind.

The FR Canteen is

Come on in and sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee, tea,
pancakes, conversation,
silliness,
and plain old BS
