Built on the former site of Building 214, Recruit Receiving and Outfitting, constructed 1942.

Recruit Receiving and Outfitting was moved to a larger building, Building 557 (Camp Nimitz), in 1978. This new building was capable of processing more than 2,000 recruits at a time, and consolidated all major functions of recruit in-processing (Medical, Dental, Testing) into one facility.

Building 214 was later used as a facility for Jewish faith services. It was torn down in 2001 for the current McMillin Companies office.

    Was basically handed NTC on a silver platter by the City of San Diego.

    I was there in 84 and I totally agree with you. I live up in Orange County and get to go by there often like today. I took some pictures of the interior of the barracks that are still standing. Mine were torn down for a parking lot across from the Grinder. I remember having to go to Marching Party with the Seal's a couple of times due to my company getting hits on the barracks. The luxury of a Master At Arms. The pictures I took do not do the place justice what so ever. I remember everything being so polished and the brass sparkling. I watched the place go down piece by piece. Then on the NTC side they bulldozed the bowling alley. That was the first place I went to after graduation. Not to mention the Enlisted Men’s Club which is now a Tru-Value Hardware store. They even tore down my barracks and "C" school on the NTC side and made it housing. Too sad!! It really does hurt deep inside to see this. I wonder where all my shipmates are today.
