yup, I was there for four and a half years. great facility back then, I'm sure it still is. Good traffic, became dependent upon deployments of coure. I truely believe it is the best CTO the Marine Corps has to offer. Yuma being the second. Miramar has a great core of DOD civs, some working there are the best and brightest I've worked with. Tower in Bravo airspace with GCA, seven squadrons of hornets, eight squadrons of helos, one of c-130's, then c-12"s, c-560's, T-34's too. We use to get alot of pattern traffic form north island too, mostly S-3's and C-2's. If you're talking working as a Civ it's GS-13, that's great pay but realitive of course; high cost of living.

I have few friends there, they are all good to go.

No they are not hiring any dod's. trust me. Its like the highest paying DOD ATC position there is i can think of. All of them make well over 100k. When i was there the OIC told me that he has stack and stacks of applications.

I wish that let me train on LC in NKX. Oh well I still got into the FAA without it.
