Our Mission: To sustain the Fleet, enable the Fighter, and support the Family while maintaining Naval Base Point Loma as a 5-Star Destination.

Our Vision: Focusing the command’s efforts along three lines of effort enables NBPL to better utilize limited resources and coordinate effort in a synchronized manner. Although these lines of effort are distinct, they are also dependent on one another, for success in each is dependent on meaningful progress in the other. These LOEs are expanded into primary areas of action in the full Design.

• To SERVE the Fleet our tenant commands and organizations, and their families.
• To BUILD a base for tomorrow’s warfighter with strong ties to our civic community.
• To PROTECT our people, resources, and environment from all threats.

San Diego is a high cost of living area, especially in terms of real estate. Help in managing high costs is available through Fleet and Family Support Center, FFSC, which offers a variety of financial classes including budgeting, home buying and investing classes. In order to make a Financial Planning appointment at any FFSC San Diego location, call CNRSW Centralized Scheduling at 866-923-6478.

Childcare in the San Diego area is in high demand. Our best recommendation is to register for childcare as soon as you have orders to San Diego. There are two types of Navy Sponsored Child Care available in the San Diego area. The first option is the on-base child care facilities or Child Development Centers. Please note they are not located at all area installations. The second option is the Navy's network of in-home child care providers, who are licensed and regulated by the CDC as well as the State of California. More information about FFSC Child and Youth Programs can be found at NavyLifeSW. For more childcare information please see the Childcare section.

Defense Service Network (DSN) Dialing Instructions

The DSN is the provider of long-distance communications service for the Department of Defense (DoD). Every installation has a special DSN number and the numbers vary by world-wide location. In order to place a call using DSN, the caller must be using a military phone on an installation. Cell phones cannot dial DSN numbers. When dialing a DSN number from/to CONUS installations as well as Alaska and Hawaii, it is unnecessary to dial the DSN 312 area code. The DSN area code is required when dialing to/from overseas locations. A DSN operator can be reached by calling commercial (719) 567-1110. Please note that long distance charges may apply.
