Military Reenlistments at Cabrillo National Monument
Cabrillo National Monument has a long military history and many choose to hold their reenlistment ceremonies here.
Reenlistment ceremonies do require a special permit.
Cabrillo National Monument waives the $100 application fee for active duty military reenlistments. We just ask that before your ceremony you need to fill out a Permit Application and submit it to us.
Ceremony's with less than 10 people attending are welcome to be held anywhere on trail at the park with two exceptions, not down at the Tidepools, and not blocking the public from accessing pathways or areas of the park (ie a sidewalk to the lighthouse). If you have more than 10 people attending we ask that you reenlistment take place at the event bluff.
Usually reenlistment's are simple affairs but please review our general guidelines.
Email us to check the availability of your preferred date.
