“On Eternal Patrol” is used when a submarine is lost at sea. If you look down the sidewalk there are several black stone markers. Each will tell the story of a submarine on eternal patrol. Take a little walk, read a little history. You are at the old San Diego Navy Training Center (NTC). Sailors would come here not only for boot camp but also advanced naval schooling.
This base has a special place in this California state sponsor's life. It was not 4 blocks from here, and 38 years ago, a young sailor named ROB ELLIOTT, met a young Wave, dated and 38 years later they still call San Diego home. So listen up when he recommends something in San Diego.
Let’s eat. Two good choices. Da Kine’s has great Hawaiian food. Slater’s 50/50, what a burger! Their claim to fame is a burger that’s 50% beef 50% bacon. Need we say more?
Last but not least, the Wounded Warrior Project has an office just down the street. Stop in and say hello.
