Overhead shot of Camp Nimitz at the Naval Training Center in San Diego, CA, circa 1960. This area was constructed in 1954-1955, and was where recruits would spend their first three weeks in bootcamp. This area consisted of 16 barracks buildings (left and right), the marching grinder (center top), and mess hall/galley (Center). Later expansions added two 3-story barracks (Buildings 88-89,1967), two 4-story classroom/barracks buildings (Buildings 479-480, 1971), and a new Recruit Receiving and Outfitting center (Building 557, 1978).

Today, the barracks on left, and the mess hall have been demolished for a parking lot for the San Diego airport. The grinder is now home to the San Diego Metropolitan Wastewater Department. Only the barracks on the right are still standing today; they are used for fire training exercises by the San Diego Fire Department. The structures built in 1967, 1971, and 1978 are still standing as well.
