Lowering of Flag Ceremony Every Evening At Dusk & history of the Base
It's well worth taking the time to see the Flag Lowering Ceremony!
THE BUILDING OF LEMOORE NAS
In 1954, the Navy searched the Northern California-Nevada area for land to build a master jet air station - one with congestion free air space.
Lemoore was chosen because of its central location, good weather for flying, relatively inexpensive land and the nearby accommodations. Construction started in 1958. With base housing, administration facilities and the flight training areas in operation, the air station was commissioned on July 8, 1961.
Located in the San Joaquin Valley approximately 40 miles south of Fresno, CA, nearly 5,000 military and 1,000 civilian employees work onboard, with an average payroll of $120 million per year.
NAS Lemoore's primary mission is to support fleet carrier squadrons. The heart of this mission is the operations area. Designed to support more than twenty fleet squadrons, it serves as a master training center for carrier-based strike fighter squadrons of the United States Pacific Fleet.

Barbara,
Yes I was told from the other moms that cell phones don't work and that they need an international phone card. Also say they use Skype to communicate.

- My younger son was on a ship that stopped at Gitmo a few years ago. They were told not to even point a camera in the wrong direction. He said that there was all kinds of things to do on the base because they can't leave at all, they are very well self contained. My question, just out of curiosity: will he have to have an international cell phone plan? Best of luck to him, glad you get him home for Christmas!
