  • I was there summer of 1975.are the man haulers still there ? how bout the disco lounge?

  • I was stationed with NSFA 4/86 until 10/87. and NMCB4 from 8/93 until 11/97. Port how needs me will always be a found memory. I was one of the lucky ones to serve on both CB bases. I retired as a CM1

  • Came right from boot camp for UT A School in 12/66.   The base joke use to be that the CBC (Construction Battalion Center) stood for Continuation of Boot Camp. From here I was sent to the public works in Barbados.  Had some good times here and wonder if the USO still exist in Oxnard.

  • Went through Builders "A"  school in 1961 and then to base unit in Argentia, Newfoundland. the school served me very well in later life.

     

  • I went through CM A school in 1971 and was assigned to MCB 4 got out in 1975. Then went back for UT A school in 1981 then assigned to NSFA transferred in 1984 to NSU State Dept. Then went back again in 1992 for Shore Base Boiler school

  • I was in Steelworker "A" school in 1976-77 I was kicked out of the Bee's because I am deaf in my right ear. I realy liked it there. I worked at Barricks 1184 while waiting orders to the fleet. I worked for a BU1 Larry Minor. Dose anyone know him. If so please e-mail me at flags@metrocast.net. Thanks

  • I was assigned to Point Mugu Naval Air Station upon graduation from USNTC San Diego. Point Mugu was the Pacific Naval Missle Test Center and had WWll PT Boats and Torpedo Retriever Boats berthed at Port Hueneme. Our duties were to patrol between the coast off the missle range and the Santa Barbara channel Islands during missel test firings. We also carried Air Force and government employees out to the islands where they operated radar and radio stations. I will never forget the PT Boats with the three Packard W-52 engines. Being straight out of boot camp and not been to Engineman "A" school those were the biggest and most powerful engines I have ever seen. Used to spend a lot of my liberty time in Santa Barbara.
