Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton

A young Marine stationed in California submitted the following story to him.

He writes, One October night back in 2018, my friends and I were stationed at Camp Pendleton.

My one friend had just bought a Ouija board, so we made the ethical decision to, of course, go to the old abandoned naval hospital and see if we could talk to some ghosts over there, which I am fully aware is not the smartest idea in the whole world.

We get there, parking at the Wounded Warriors Clinic to not bring attention from PMO or anyone else.

But there was no one and nothing to be seen.

Just this door now standing wide open.

Camp Pendleton was one of my duty stations, and because of the time I spent driving back and forth to the Wounded Warriors Clinic he mentioned, I have seen that old naval hospital many times, just never went there myself.

The base opened a brand new hospital in 2014, thus ending the need for the older one, which was originally built in 1974 to replace the original 1943 hospital construction.

Like I said, I don't know.

We've gotten some mixed information on if it's actually jumped over Camp Pendleton or not yet, but you're right.

If you're in a very high fire hazard severity zone and we see a declining palm tree or tree or any vegetation, but it's particularly when it comes to trees, we'll either ask you to remove it or get an arborist out there, a certified arborist out there to take a look and say, all right, no, we can save this or no, this is too far gone.

It needs to be removed.

I never saw a fat woman Marine, I'll tell you that.

In fact, the one I remember the most is the one who knocked a guy who was giving a crap at the NCO bar at Camp Pendleton before I went overseas, and he gave her some kind of lip or something, and she hauled off and hit him so hard she flipped him over backwards in a somersault off the bar.

Okay, so we'll leave BAM for

another day.

I'm not too far from the I-5, right? That's by Cam Pendleton.

Um, So they had an exhibition there at some point over by Del Mar, which was an area by Camp Pendleton.

It's on the base.

This is called Camp Del Mar.

first one was on friday um second one saturday and the one on saturday is when they actually closed down they shut down the uh the i-5 so it was kind of like everybody coming home from work it was like at 5 30. it was like a standstill people can move or anything like that um and they had signs up on the highway that says warning life fire over highway So that was a crazy one.

And then lawmakers are demanding answers from the Secretary of War, Pete Hexeth, wanting to know who approved firing over a major highway and why the public wasn't warned.

The vice president was also at Camp Pendleton as well, watching all that.

So I'm curious to know, because a lot of folks over here, I mean, it was on the news, right? They're like, oh, yeah, I-5 backed up.

Fastball low and inside, ball one.

We have a group of Marines, and I assume they are from nearby Camp Pendleton, and they are in the stands along the first base side, and they have organized cheers that you will hear throughout the ballgame.

The 1-0 pitch to Crawford.

Swung on and missed a good fastball in around the knees, and it is 1-1.
