Here are the top five stories in Oceanside-Camp Pendleton today:

1. Rep. Mike Levin voted last week to pass this fiscal year's National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which includes two of his amendments and secures key priorities for the Marine Corps base at Camp Pendleton. "The National Defense Authorization Act is critical not only for strengthening our national security, but also in improving the lives of servicemembers and their families at Camp Pendleton, and I'm proud that this legislation will deliver on several key priorities for them," Levin said in a media release ahead of the House vote. (Dana Point Times)
2. Hundreds of hotel workers at Hilton San Diego Bayfront went on strike Wednesday, just before the start of San Diego Comic-Con. Unite Here Local 30 called for a walkout early Wednesday morning after negotiations failed and an agreement on a wage increase and other benefits could not be reached with hotel management. Roughly 600 workers represented by the union went on strike outside Hilton Bayfront San Diego, which is located next to the San Diego Convention Center, where Comic-Con will take place Wednesday through Sunday.

3. Oceanside business owner, Roy Cisneros was previously homeless before he opened the 101 Marketplace consignment store in 2020. It was his dream to own a shop in his hometown, but that dream seemed far away at times. Cisneros said he and his wife and five children spent almost three years struggling to pay for meals and hotel rooms and sleeping in the car. Almost two years after opening the business is thriving with plenty of regulars and locals who love what the store has to offer. Cisneros has a goal to expand his businesses further into the technological age. He wants to purchase a warehouse and take his business online . (San Diego Union-Tribune)
4. A storm that originated off New Zealand and sent historically large waves to Tahiti and Hawaii will produce breakers in the 5 to 9 foot level, with sets up to 10 feet, at some North County beaches through early Thursday, according to the National Weather Service. The highest surf will be on exposed southwest-facing beaches. Dangerous swimming and surfing conditions and localized beach erosion will occur. Inexperienced swimmers should remain out of the water due to dangerous surf conditions. (National Weather Service)
5. Camp Pendleton Marines are keeping their Amphibious Combat Vehicles out of the water following a Tuesday training incident in heavy surf that disabled two ACVs, the service announced late Wednesday. "The pause of waterborne operations will allow for an investigation into the incident and ensure the assault amphibian community can review best practices and procedures to remain capable, safe and ready," reads the statement from the Marines.
