Vinny Green
It began innocently enough when Green was based at Camp Pendleton as a radio technician with a year left to go in the armed services. Green enrolled at MiraCosta College, where he earned an associate degree in humanities, then a second degree in sociology, with an eye toward transferring to either UC Berkeley or UC San Diego. “I wanted to pursue an education, and the California Community College system offers a wonderful opportunity and pathway to a four-year degree,” Green said.
