Homecoming is a long-standing tradition enjoyed by Sailors and their families. This guide provides resource contact information to those responsible for coordinating events on Homecoming Day at Naval Base San Diego (NBSD). Included in this guide are base policies, security procedures and preparation checklists, per Naval Base San Diego Instruction (NBSDINST) 5450. Not every command returns home in the same manner; therefore prior to initiating any plans for a Homecoming event, specific guidance must be obtained from the returning command’s Commanding Officer (CO). To prepare, consider enlisting the support of a Host Ship. A working party from a Host Ship can provide the muscle needed to set up tents, chairs and awnings and then break everything down once the event is over.  Read more in the guide here.
