The counties typically would sue the base for the noise. At least 29 palms and Pendleton.I used to live close to Camp Pendleton. I miss their live fire days. F16's flying over dropping 1k pounders then boom boom rattling the house. Then have days of 155 Howitzer live fure. At night when the wind blew from ybe west off ocean I could hear live fire on range with 50 cal , 5.56, 7.62 and whatever else they were shooting . Then a pause and then back at it.
I miss hearing all that.
After that I lived near Miramar Air Base where they flew their Top Gun school from. Used to see F14's flying over all day then the switch to F18 Hornet and Super Hornet. I'm full of stories...
When I was at 3rd recon, I use to bunk right by one of the sqaudrons flight lines. Crazy how insanely loud the jets got.
It got old pretty quick but that's just how the life is.
Funny thing is, with permission, you can hunt Pendleton to this day. I never killed anything out there but I use to find mule deer pieces on the range all the time. So it's important to know when it's range day and where you can and can't go.
