Being a US Navy veteran, I am familiar with Fleet Week, although I can't say in my day that we partied with the Russians(soviets) much.

So, YOU are in San Diego?
And, The Russians and French troops are bringing their equipment and vehicles ashore to visit TOURIST attractions for Fleet Week?
You in the Navy?
Or just a Government 'employee'?
I asked my sister (who was in the navy for 7 years) and she agrees with that guy. Told me they had the Russians there three times when she was in San Diego. According to her their drinking is the stuff of legend. They have also hosted the British, French and Indians according to her. It's about time for Fleet Week too.
Guys, Pictures please. Otherwise I'm just calling this a hoax.

I can't recall a time that they brought their trucks and equipment ashore though.
I have seen zero proof of their presence here(US soil) anyway, but who knows? It is hard to kill a hoax, but it is pretty easy to prove something IS going on. All we need is photos.

About the 'Air force base':
according to Wikipedia it was Naval Air Station Green Cove Springs (Lee Field). It was decommissioned in 1984 and is now a 'Single runway' airfield known as: Reynolds Airpark (FAA airfield identifier: FL60).
So this is a private airfield now and not a military installation. Perhaps someone in the area can go have a look? You shouldn't have too much trouble getting on.
