But you wouldn’t say that about 29 Palms Marine Base in the Desert or Fort Ord in Northern California.

From 1969 to 2019 a period of 50 years, a hard copy of the SAN DIEGAN was given to every relocating family by the housing referral office on every base in San Diego County and place in everyone’s military relocation packet. This included the Marines, Navy, Army, Air Force and even the Coast Guard.

Then with the advent of the Smartphone and the fact that everyone uses their smartphone an average of 5 hours a day worldwide, it just made good senses to enhance what the print version offered online. So, it grew from a mere 224 pages to the current 700 pages of insider information that only a local would know about their hometown. Plus, the publisher was an officer in the navy right here in San Diego as well as growing up in San Diego County.
