We had a trip to SAN this past spring and the boss's wife set up a tour of Miramar; she simply called the Press/PR office and they set something up for us. We had a young LCpl drive us around in a van and show us the highlights...which others have noted ain't much. We did get to see a few flying Ospreys and Hercs/F18s doing TOLs which was kinda cool, and TopGun O-club that has been redone, the McDonalds that really drew the ire of the young Marine because "its BS that they push this 'fit to fight' crap and have Big Macs on base" and pink building "that belongs to the Navy".

While nothing spectacular it was a neat experience, and if you're considering Marine OCS (BZ to you, I decided that was a wee bit too hardcore for me my senior year of college) it'll probably be worth your while either way.
