The plaque says, "Beginning as a mess hall in 1932, building 30 and the adjacent barracks building were part of a massive expansion of the base and were the center of Navy life for recruits. The "base mall", building 30, was convenient to the recruit living in buildings 27, 28, and 29 who could visit the barbershop, the post office, stop by for a slice of pizza or grab a meal at a cafeteria. During the early years of NTC men slept in hammocks strung up by rope each night and removed by day, or on the balconies when weather permitted. The courtyard area, or grinder, was used for marching and drilling, but was also used as a practice area for the Navy Band."

Visit Instructions:
To post a log to an existing U.S. Post Office waymark, you will need to post a picture of the front of the building, with the name of the post office in the background if that is possible.

A description of your Post Office is required, such as when it was built, history, outstanding or unique features, population of the city or town, just do a quick internet search and find an interesting bit of information about the city or town and add it to the long description, to make it more interesting. Even just adding in the population of the area can give others an idea of how many people this post office serves. This description should be at least three sentences.

If your Post Office has any unusual or unique features that you feel others would enjoy viewing, additional pictures are always welcome.
Including your gps device in the picture is not necessary, but wouldn't be cause for disapproval, as long as all other details of your log are acceptable.
