Navy Training Centre
Friday, 19th May 2006 by James Turnbull
The Navy Training Centre in San Diego is a closed facility that is currently being turned in to a shopping centre so there's not much to see, except for the USS Recruit - a destroyer that seems to be a little out of place.
The nearby Naval Outlying Field (NOLF) Imperial Beach has various features for training up Navy SEALs for combat. For a start there's a grid layout to the north, which is a fake city used for MOUT training (that's "missions on urban terrain" for the rest of us).
South of that there's also a disused "Elephant Cage" radio station, similar to the previously posted one at Elmendorf Air Force Base.
But what's most interesting is that beside some white tents and an archery range further south we see that, using Alien technology first harnessed by the Australians, the US Navy has developed flying pyramids! (or perhaps covered climbing towers).
Thanks: Tom Barr & jmauro
to the northwest of the flying pyramid is the world’s largest graphic equalizer. looks like they have the bass turned up.
Well, this must be where they practice their AUTI (Advanced Urban Tennis Infiltration) training.
Any word on their INNIE training? Yuk yuk yuk…
ROTFLMAO @John 😀 😀 It looks indeed as an equalizer! …they might get a better Subwoofer instead of pushing the basses 😛
Xionist conspiracy to speak with aliens. That’s my professional opinion. Ph.D. in whackjobology.
It should be noted that this isn’t the Naval Training Center in San Diego, but Naval Outlying Field (NOLF) Imperial Beach. The NTC is a closed facility that is currently being turned in to a shopping center. It can be found here: View Placemark
It does have one thing of note in the old base. A destroyer that went a little off course. The USS Recruit: View Placemark
GOOD
The US Naval Traing Center was the beginning of a new life and some great times for me. I will never forget those days starting out in the Navy.
