Road Trip: Naval Base Coronado, California

Naval Base Coronado (NBC) is a consolidated Navy installation encompassing eight military facilities stretching from San Clemente Island, located seventy miles west of San Diego, California, to the Mountain Warfare Training Camp Michael Monsoor and Camp Morena, located sixty miles east of San Diego.

Naval Base Coronado is a consortium of eight Navy installations:
Naval Air Station North Island, Coronado (NASNI); Naval Amphibious Base, Coronado (NAB); Naval Outlying Landing Field, Imperial Beach (NOLF IB); Naval Auxiliary Landing Field, San Clemente Island (NALF SCI); Silver Strand Training Complex-South, Coronado (SSTC-South), formerly known as the Naval Radio Receiving Facility; Camp Michael Monsoor Mountain Warfare Training Center, La Posta; Camp Morena, La Posta and the Remote Training Site, Warner Springs (RTSWS).

NASNI is located at the north end of Coronado Island in San Diego Bay and is the home port of several aircraft carriers of the United States Navy.

The installation also hosts nearly all of the Pacific Fleet's helicopter squadrons, several fixed-wing squadrons, multiple Naval Air Reserve activities and is home to the both Fleet Readiness Center Southwest (formerly Naval Aviation Depot North Island) and the headquarters for Commander, Naval Air Forces.

It is part of the largest aerospace-industrial complex in the United States Navy, the 57,000-acre (230 km²) Naval Base Coronado in San Diego County, California.

Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape (SERE) training for U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps flight crews, Naval Special Warfare, Marine Corps Force Recon and Marine Corps Special Operations personnel is conducted at the U.S. Navy's training site in Warner Springs, located in the Cleveland National Forest.

The facility is one of two such facilities in the U.S. Navy, with an east coast counterpart facility located in Maine. It is in a remote area near the community of Warner Springs in the northeastern San Diego County, at an elevation of about 3200 feet. The Camp consist of a headquarters area with an administrative building, several staff barracks building, a wastewater treatment plant, and a training compound.

Good evening everyone!

We have all sorts of wacky weather going on this evening, it’s thundering so loud it’s shaking my windows. And, internet is being fickle too.

So, posting and running for a bit until this passes, hopefully will be back soon!

Have a terrific Tuesday!

*HUGS*

I lived in Coronado, it is a great place, it used to be a little wilder.

Psalm 72 Leaders

Bible in a Year :

• Judges 16-18
• Luke 7:1-30

May he be like rain falling on a mown field, like showers watering the earth.

Psalm 72:6

In July 2022, Britain’s prime minister was forced to step down after what many felt were lapses in integrity (the newly appointed prime minister stepped down just months later!). The event was triggered when the country’s health minister attended an annual parliamentary prayer breakfast, felt convicted about the need for integrity in public life, and resigned. When other ministers resigned too, the prime minister realized he had to leave. It was a remarkable moment, originating from a peaceful prayer meeting.

Believers in Jesus are called to pray for their political leaders (1 Timothy 2:1-2), and Psalm 72 is a good guide for doing so, being both a ruler’s job description and a prayer to help them achieve it. It describes the ideal leader as a person of justice and integrity (vv. 1-2), who defends the vulnerable (v. 4), serves the needy (vv. 12-13), and stands against oppression (v. 14). Their time in office is so refreshing, it’s like “showers watering the earth” (v. 6), bringing prosperity to the land (vv. 3, 7, 16). While only the Messiah can perfectly fulfill such a role (v. 11), what better standard of leadership could be aimed for?

The health of a country is governed by the integrity of its office-bearers. Let’s seek “Psalm 72 leaders” for our nations and help them to embody the qualities found in this psalm by praying it for them. .

Reflect & Pray

What qualities do you look for in a leader? How can you pray more often for your local and national leaders?

Father, please empower our leaders to be people of justice, integrity, and goodness.

THANK YOU
for your service!

Howdy, lauren.

I noticed things are dicey down your way this evening. Wishing you luck getting through it all in good shape.

[Allegra]

We have all sorts of wacky weather going on this evening, it’s thundering so loud it’s shaking my windows. And, internet is being fickle too.

I’m seeing the alerts on TV. Be safe, girl!

I hope it will pass by fast without leaving any damage.

It’s skirting around here, but so far, we’re not in its path.

Take care of you!

[radu]

Howdy, Kathy.

I know you’re just thrilled to see snowflakes falling again. At least there wasn’t much falling this time and it’s all melted.
And I see some patches of blue sky now! :-)

[radu]

Howdy, Allegra.

I hope you get lucky with the front. Nothing wild so far but storms are starting to crank up SW of you now. With luck they won’t fire up too much.

I’m keeping close tabs on that mess because it comes through here tomorrow.

[coalminersson]

My wife and I are RE Brokers in San Diego We say you can’t buy a home on Coronado unless you are a retired admiral or captain. Not true but lots of them there.

[luvie]

Stay safe, lauren! Hope it doesn’t get too awful. All we have is “gale-force” wind and lots of dirt in the air. Yuk!

[Allegra]

I’m keeping close tabs on that mess because it comes through here tomorrow.

‘K, now my county just appeared on the severe thunderstorm warning alert. It’s calm outside right now.

I hope the severe stuff misses you tomorrow and hope laurenmarlowe isn’t experiencing anything real crazy right now.

[luvie]

Thanks for a great Road Trip, lauren!
So fun to be in CA....virtually. :)
Don't have to deal with the nutty ones this way. 🤣

[radu]

Yep, I’d just checked NOAA before coming back here and saw the warnings. It looks like the big ugly on the radar will miss most of the city but they areas that I gather are suburbs. Storms are still firing up SW of that one big batch of storms so be on the lookout.

The line of storms have passed Dallas already so laurenmarlowe’s in the clear now. I hope she got through intact.

[luvie]

Glad you aren’t having the crazy weather that DFW seems to be having. We didn’t have any rainy storms, but we DID have gale-force winds and brown skies. Blech!

And it’s now 20 degrees cooler now than it was earlier today, as it will also be tomorrow. 62 instead of low 80s.
