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.

They bought their homes in the 1960s and 1970s when the prices were on this side of sanity!

Ah, yes. Coronado.....brings back many good memories for me! Thank you, Lauren! ;-)

I spent 3 of the longest weeks of my life in Coronado/North Island in 1967 - Coronado wasn’t beautiful for those 3 weeks. What was beautiful were the sandwiches I had in San Diego after they told us our stomachs had shrunk so don’t rush into eating again. I still remember most all of what they taught us but I would go to great lengths to avoid repeating the experience.

A very pleasant good Tuesday morning and ((HUGS)) to everyone at the Canteen and to all our military at home and abroad. Thanks for your service to our country and thanks Lauren for this morning's thread.

Thankfully we never lost power but some places South of us like Waurika and Ryan did. We did have a storm move through last night. As usual Gizmo hid under the bed but he's back out now.

Yesterday at Comanche Lake;

How's everyone doing this morning?

Howdy, E.G.C. ((HUGZ))

VERY glad to hear you made it through without any problems, other than poor Gizmo being scared for a while.

Thanks gals, y’all are so kind to check on me. All is well, just ended up with no internet last night.

Sunshine today, and the storm did blow all the dust away!

Now that Masters of the Air has wrapped and we’ve had a few days to process it, we thought that we’d do a little post-series analysis with Chris Mowery of Vlogging Through History and Jared Frederick of Reel History.

Hey there, Early Birds!
I slept in! On purpose!
Hope everyone has had fun on this great Road Trip!
Lauren works hard to bring them to us.
Also hope her weather has improved today.
All y'all have a Terrific Tuesday!
Warm and breezy here. Tired of breezy.
(((hugs)))

Glad to hear you got through ok. Losing the ‘net for a while is always a pain but if that’s the worst you had to deal with, you came out on the good side.

So far, so good here. It raining and there are storms firing up but tornados have all been well to the north. We’ll see how it goes.
