Proud former Seabee. Did "A" school (Equipment Operator) Fall 1968 there, a year shore duty Great Lakes, Il. , then in1970 Vietnam with MCB 62 out of Gulfport, MS. Some of the best years of my life.
As a Vietnam veteran I guess when I was discharged my basic thoughts kept repeating NEVER GIVE UP. In spite of all the controversial and difficult times re-adapting to life in the US in returning from Vietnam. Most veterans I have known keep that as a basic belief regardless of how difficult things seem to be.
I lead a Seabee Team 30211 to Nha Be to build SEAFLOAT in 3/1969. It was a floating base designed to be anchored in a river in support of PBR's in the delta. We had 21 days to build 7 hootshes on 7 Ami barges. We built them in 7 days!! I had a great team! BUC Ron Larrivee, Ret
I heard such stories in documentations, the performance of Seabee's was/is incredible. They accomplished there todo's in fraction of the required time. In one documentation they fixed a destroyer in 36 hours.
Hey this might believe that we leave this place with our word honor your horse ladies and gentlemen no I said honor your old oh a t h s o a p h s wow. . Oaths
My pop was a Seabee from 1954-1975 ending his career in the Navy as an EOC. He was in every unit that ever trained and shipped from USNCBC Port Hueneme, CA. He was all over So. Vietnam doing everything Seabees do. Sometimes I watch these movies in case I'd catch a glimpse of his face. He passed in 1989 and suffered from AO exposure. Seabee's always have an important job to do. God Bless our boys all over the world.
Also, veteran of MCB 121= Camp Wilkinson, Gia Le 1969, and Camp Haskins South , Danang 1970. Oh, yeah, in hurricane Camille in Gulfport, Ms. in between deployments.
It was Except for the politics. Affirmative Action held me back. To graduate Top of class and not get a promotion simply because I was white showed how backward the Service was. 1975. But I did OK after I got out. BUT, Yes it was FUN...A year on Guam...Sun And Fun.
Dad said a waitress brought wine glasses to the table and when the waitress returned to get the wine glasses all that was left was the stems! They grinded down the glass chalice with their teeth and left the waitress nothing but the stems! Crazy story!

Vietnam or the Mississippi down stream are best site for floating island aircraft carrier construction as big as 1000000 u.s.s Reagan put together and cost only 50 billions or less can house entire naval aviation wings of the Pacific fleet
