NEW SIGN UP PROCEDURE: The Chapter has changed the event sign-up procedure somewhat. Everyone with an Email address on record will receive an email invitation to the event through Constant Contact. By responding to that email, you are automatically entered into the attendee list for that event. You can also pay for the event through PayPal at the same time. You can also sign up using email or PayPal links in this website. It makes things a little easier on your Treasurer and Secretary if you use the Constant Contact invitation.
RSVP NOTE: We are forced to restart enforcing RSVPs in order to get a more accurate headcount for the events. Please RSVP by the published deadline and expect to pay more if you do not register by the deadline.
NEW NEWSLETTER PROCEDURE: We are now sending paper copies of our newsletter to those alumni and friends who specifically choose to receive a hard copy (or if you have no email address). Please let our Secretary, Mike McNeil ‘69, know if you desire to continue receiving a paper copy of Chapter newsletter. A link to Mike’s email address is in the right column.
NEW LUNCHEON LOCATION: Our new luncheon location is Anchors Catering on the Naval Base. A map is below. If you reach the gate guard, you have gone too far. The entrance is just outside the guard shack.

August NBG-1 ReCap
On a beautiful Thursday morning, August 19th, 2010, USNAAA SD Chapter members visited Commander Naval Beach Group One located on Amphibious Base, Coronado CA. To start the visit, CDR Colvert Burgos ’93 provided Chapter members an overview of the Command’s Mission, Capabilities, Personnel and Equipment. Naval Beach Group ONE is part of the Naval Surface Warfare community and reports the RDML Earl Gay ’80, Expeditionary Strike Group Three. Naval Beach Group ONE performs the following missions: Assault Echelon, Maritime Prepositioning Force Operations, Assault Follow-on Echelon and LOTS / JLOTS, NSE Support of ARG/MEU Deployments and Rear Echelon Force support. Upon completion of the Command overview briefing, Chapter members were treated to a live Naval Amphibious Training mission conducted on Coronado beach. The highlight on the training exercise was the opportunity for Chapter members to see two Navy Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC) vessel land on the beach with their trucks and cargo. After the trucks and cargo were off-loaded, Chapter members were given the opportunity to meet and speak with crew members of the LCAC crafts.
The Chapter wants to thank Commander Naval Beach Group ONE for a fabulous visit. A special thanks and recognition go to CDR Colvert Burgos ’93 and CDR Todd Perry ’91, for coordinating the event and providing our Chapter members a great opportunity to see our warfighters in action! Bravo Zulu guys!”
