Back in 1972, I worked as a Clerk Stenographer for the 12th Naval District Deputy District Civil Engineer, in the Admiral's building (which is the first horseshoe shaped building on the right, when you entered the island). On my lunch break I used to drive around the island to familiarize myself with it. Back then, there were very few buildings there compared to what I see in this video. I really enjoyed this video, it brought me back to a wonderful time in my life. The only thing I don't see in this video are the sailors and officers dressed in uniform. Every morning, the Navy band would play music in front of the building I worked in. I absolutely loved working there.
I was at treasure Island for RP school in 86... coming from the south that was the most beautiful small base I've ever seen..all the views from my barracks were amazing...I miss that base..💯💯
I was stationed there 1966-68. What a pig pen it is now! I was Base Security, where we patrolled the base as well as officer' country on Yerba Buena Island. Base Security was Navy assisted by Marines. I arrived right after Admiral Nimitz's funeral was held in that chapel shown in the video. I see my Acey- Deucey club is still standing where I had more than a few scotches and waters, looking over at the lights in the city across the bay. Fun times and sad times.
I stayed in the enlisted barracks a couple times in the early 1980’s. The nighttime view out my window was stunning. I always hoped they’d keep the developers out.
That beautiful nighttime glow is emanating from the radioactivity left behind from the sandblasting of the ships towed back from Operation Crossroads, Castle Bravo shot.
Navy Electronics technician A school, 68-69. I was a member of the Island amateur radio club, K6NCG, look it up. There are 3 websites showing various phases of the club. We had an awesome club there. I was up the 120' tower as many as 10 times. Dave Brake, George Delaney, if either of you are still kickin get in touch. "Dorm E" don't remember the barracks number, one of the old WWII "H" barracks. USN, 68-74, ETR-2, NAS Miramar, 70-74, I maintained GCA RADAR and TACAN
Stationed there in '62; Electronics Technician A school... belonged to K6NCG ham radio club.... again thru in '69 and '82... a shame to see its demise... once so beautifully maintained... It still has training facs for the SFFD, including "Buttercup" (simulated shipboard compartment flooding and fire)
Thank you for making this video, a nice walk down memory lane. I was stationed there briefly in the mid-80s awaiting Navy orders. Such an amazing place, both TI and YB. Glad to see the marina is still there, learned to sail there as a kid in Rhodes 19s! I wonder what’s the criteria for living there now? Didn’t see any “for sale” or even “for rent” signs.
The city of San Francisco plans to convert former Naval base 'Treasure Island' into a residential neighborhood, but new reports by the US Navy and public health officials suggest the island may be more radioactive than previously believed.
I was there in 1980. Wow. I loved the doggie diner heads at 14:30. I thought they went out of business. But seeing the fresh heads shows they're not. But what happened to TI ? Looking run down. I figured SF would have made it more upscale
I was stationed there in 1990 and I've missed it ever since....the first part showing Bldg 1 - Admin Bldg if car turned in at immediate right (which not shown as Main Gate - Guard Shack no longer there), it was the entrance to underground parking garage which had 2 levels. The brass staircase was amazing, but polishing it was not....lol....I met people that still impact my heart that I haven't seen since and it's unfortunate that the most important part of it's entirety that can be seen with the eyes was left to rot away, yet, I can even through tears, see it as if I'm walking, my footprints I leave are the same still.
Can someone settle an argument: Are these places part of the City of San Francisco: Treasure Island Yerba Buena Island The Farallon Islands San Francisco Airport
Treasure Island, Yerba Buena Island and SFO are part of the City and County of San Francisco. The Farallon Islands are not. I believe they are federally managed.
Treasure Island, Yerba Buena Island, and the Farallon islands are part of the city/county of SF, but SFO is not (it's owned and operated by SF, but is within San Mateo County).
My 1st class boats mate live there. Off the USS Haleakala. With his family. I did a little fire fighting there and I got my courses for photographers mate at the Administrative office. I was a striker. Not a A school graduate. I made third class petty officer on the ship. And got transfer to Bermuda. Made second class petty officer. And eventually made first class photographer. And then I retired from the Navy. But it all started at Treasure Island.
I was active reserves after my active bit was done the old AE 25 was my reserve ship. I was a Gunners mate that worked o the twin 3.50s Inch guns. She was home ported Guam. I made several trips to Subic. Had some fun on liberty call..
I lived here as a kid for a few years. We moved away back in Nov of ‘94. What on earth did they do to this place? It looks so trashed and ugly now. My elementary school is wrecked. 😭
If it looks "trashed", it's probably because it's a giant construction site, and was a semi-abandoned (the base closed 25 years ago, and newer redevelopment plans have also lead to various buildings sitting vacant and in disrepair until demolition) and partially industrial area to begin with, before they started tearing everything down. It's not exactly a fancy place (for now). That elementary school has been closed for a long time.
Dam I was there in the mid 80’s although I was in culinary school the navy was still there and it was well keep up . Now I don’t know if it construction but it sure looks like a dump .
Thank you for sharing your experience of being at Treasure Island in the mid-80s and for watching my video, Mark. I appreciate your perspective on its current condition. There has been some recent construction and development on the island, which may be contributing to its appearance.

WOW since 1986?! You are due for another visit, Reginald. Come see the changes. Not guarantee if you like it or not those😁.

ETA in 62... ALSO at K6NCG.. Tom W0EAJ
Wow they are actually putting up new buildings, and housing vets? Outstanding!
Thank you for this video, I haven't seen this place since 1982
UWC Ronald. Hope this video bring back some good memories. Thanks for watching n commenting on my post.
RDA school 1959. Coldest summer I ever spent.
Cold n wet this past few months. As alway thanks, Robert for dropping by.
Stationed there in 79 WOW what a change
😊
Went there for firefighting school in 78 after boot camp, then reported to the USS Midway CV-41.
Thank you for your services,Micheal👍
It looks pretty different from the last time I was there. That whole residential neighborhood had yet to be built. Thanks for the excellent tour!
There will be plenty of new development on this island. Thanks for watching Owe Jay. Appreciate your comment.
Had a year of ET A school there in 1968. Good times I. San Francisco

Boy, it the whole place residential now? I was stationed there in 1971-1972.
Not quite yet. Back in 2022 population on Treasure Island about 3,185. Hey Douglas, thank you for your services.
Thank you for making this video, a nice walk down memory lane. I was stationed there briefly in the mid-80s awaiting Navy orders. Such an amazing place, both TI and YB. Glad to see the marina is still there, learned to sail there as a kid in Rhodes 19s!
I wonder what’s the criteria for living there now? Didn’t see any “for sale” or even “for rent” signs.
The city of San Francisco plans to convert former Naval base 'Treasure Island' into a residential neighborhood, but new reports by the US Navy and public health officials suggest the island may be more radioactive than previously believed.
I lived there as a kid in the early 90s. Learned to sail dinghys in that marina next to the entrance guardhouse too.
I was there in 1980. Wow. I loved the doggie diner heads at 14:30. I thought they went out of business. But seeing the fresh heads shows they're not.
But what happened to TI ? Looking run down. I figured SF would have made it more upscale
Had navy, uscg ,and marine prison there. Also had firefighting school.
Thank you Joel for watching and commenting on my post.🙏
I was stationed in Japan and went to this naval base to be discharged from the navy in 1992
Cool… how are you doing now a day, Art? Thanks for dropping by🤙

Spent one day & night there in 1970 after returning from carrier duty north Tonkin Gulf.
went there to fire fighting school early 70s while in the navy
Very nice! Thank you for your service, David. And thank you for leaving a comment👍
Lived there from 94 to 96 97esh
If you want an old time view watch “THE CAINE MUNITY” With a great cast and a view at the old Navy all the docking scenes were at TI
Knew one of the last COs. Good guy. I think the Navy sent him to command TI as punishment.
Could owner Darrell t Allen be in Modesto California ..... east side area hmm born 1978
