Photo Essay

1. NTC (Naval Training Camp) was initially a boot camp for Navy recruits. It was built in the 1940’s and not till recently the buildings have been refurbished. The area is known for its historic landmarks and the event venues, owned by NTC Promenade, that were previously the buildings used for the Naval Training Camp. Special events are planned and held at many of the buildings, and more buildings are currently being refurbished because most of the historic buildings
2. The NTCCC (Naval Training Camp Command Center) is on of the most historic buildings located at NTC Promenade in my opinion because of its features and former use. Well the name says it all, it was used as a command center for the Naval Training Camp, most meetings were held there and meetings are still held there today. Inside of the building there is many different displays that talk about what the building was originally for and some of the items on display were things used by the Navy recruits. The logo outside is especially important because it is the only feature of the building that has not been refurbished, it is the original logo.

3. Quarters A was first used as a house for high ranking officers in the Navy, but has been changed into one of the office locations for the NTC Promenade staff. There is similar displays in this building that are similar to the displays in The NTC Command Center, most of them being maps, pictures and paintings, and some being of no historic value such as brochures or handouts. This gives you an idea how much NTC has really changed into something new. I also believe that the view San Diego from Quarters A shows a lot of change because the city was probably not as big 70 years ago.

4. NTC Promenade is full of historic landmarks, many of which I haven’t learned about. This statue still stands, but seems to be falling apart, but has probably been there for over 50 years. The small monuments around NTC Promenade caught my attention because it shows how dedicated the people are who are working for the NTC Foundation are in safekeeping the landmarks and monuments at NTC Promenade.

5. It has been a pleasure interning here and not only because of the healthy working environment, but I can sometimes stop to admire some of the historical landmarks and monuments around NTC Promenade and inside the office.
