Being assigned to Camp Pendleton was a dream come true. Located in Oceanside in Northern San Diego, it’s one of the biggest Marine Corps bases in the US. There’s a ton of stuff to do nearby, whether it’s going to the beach to surf, swim, or go for drinks at the pier. The people around here are mellow, and there’s a surfer sort of vibe to the neighborhood I moved into. Everything was going great for me the first few weeks while I was here. But I noticed that despite the laidback attitude of the surrounding area where I lived, my work-life was rigid and inflexible, my commanding officer gruff and no-nonsense.
