San Diego history, US Navy, US Naval History,
On our 2nd annual History San Diego Summer Show, I'm pleased to present a photographic tribute to the San Diego United States Naval Training Center. From 1923 until 1997, navy recruits toiled in Boot Camp in San Diego. One of these recruits was my father. Join me as I show you what he experienced in the mid 1960s.
The song in the tribute"Anchors Aweigh", the official song of the Navy, was first sung publicly in Philadelphia's Franklin Field at the December 1, 1906 ArmyNavy football game.
Please stay tuned for Season 3 of History San Diego in September.
I hope that you enjoy the show & thanks for watching!
