Huge respect for the SeeBees. They are construction workers when not in a fight, but when they have to fight, boy they really do put up a fight. They were in Fallujah too fighting alongside the Marines and Army. Career prospects are good when one leaves the service. Can put the construction and engineering skills to good use.
Finally found the job I want to do. I have a bricklaying background, from Australia, moved to the US not long ago, hope i can enlist in the seabees as an aussie
@@BudgetGainsByJJ Don't wait, go enlist. Don't except any job/rate that the recruit present to you. Make sure you get the job you want, wait until the rate becomes available. Good luck!

My grandfather was a seabee in ww2 and my father was a Seabee in Vietnam. I'm not sure what my grandfather did, but I know my father was a sw2 in CB 74 from 1970-1975 and was part of the team that built the hospital barge on lake Titicaca
Did you get out and then join again as a Seabee or did you cross rates? I got out about a year ago but I kinda wanna reenlist, just don’t want to go back to the fleet.
@@jackymartinez1581 I would say yeah. Stick with them. I always thought 25 was family. Infact, I had a nice chat with your former Skipper a couple weeks ago. Captain Pisken has always been pretty cool.
"The closest thing to a civilian would be an Ironworker." Excuse me, but wouldnt they be AN ACTUAL BEE? You have your rifle but they have welding equipment. Id consider rushing a man with a gun but if I see someone in full leather welding gear Im running the complete opposite direction, thank you. Also not a single dislike on this video. You guys are awesome.
My dad - God rest his soul. Was a Seabee from I think 1959-1962 I think is correct? I remember him telling me he helped build some type base in Japan.

No way in hell EAs do their job. Seabees are the shit. The EAs sent me, a Builder to check out a road, I was former union and knew how to survey. But it wasn’t my job , when I told the actual EA, to walk a mile out with me in Iraq, he wouldn’t. Fat boy, getting the BU’s to do their job. I’m a project manager now, but the Carpenters steelworkers did 80 percent of the work. The other rates supported the builders, while the builders were out the wire.
My dad was a Seabee during desert storm, fought in Kuwait and maybe Iraq hes not sure. I’m a sophomore in high school as of right now my plan is to follow his footsteps.
I recognize a bunch of people in the video thats how tight the seabees are I promise that doesn't happen in other communities such as aviation or fleet so easy

I’m sorry the SteelWorkers SW’s rarely worked their trade. They were taught how to be a carpenter, so an SW in my eyes knows everything.
Jacob, this isn’t the late 60s early 70s. Seabees deploy with Marines and Army now. The Navy has been trying to attach the Seabees to the Marines.
I was a Seabee. Served in Operation Restore Hope in Somalia.

Don't do that. The seabees are full of fat lazy idiots.

Ok thank you.
I do have one more question. If you are in the seabees can you try to go through BUDS to attempt becoming a seal.
Do you have to be active or can you be in the reserves to be a Seabee?
Roberto Espinoza it’s up to you. you can be active or you can be reserve.
You have to ask yourself. Do I want to be full time or part time?
I wanted to be a CB but was in a rush to join and became an AM:/
Are SeaBees even taking people? I’m trying to enlist as a BU or CE and keep getting told it’s not available.
I'm leaving Monday to RTC as a UT. And there was just an offer for a CE last month if i wanted to ship early. It just depends but generally from what I have heard, is that the SeaBee Rates are generally overmanned right now
Leaving December 3rd as a UT as well
ShroomTopp I’m thinking my recruiter doesn’t want to make the calls to get me Seabee.
Tyler damn man my recruiter made sure everything went good for me but just keep bothering them until you get the job you want
ShroomTopp yeah I’ve been calling once a week to bother him. Hopefully I get good news soon. Thanks!
Im 30 can i still join
Guarantee you can
yes with a waver you can join up until like 34 i think
I joined at 30. See your local recruiter. Hoorah
They raised active duty navy to 39
you can be 39 and still join
I’m a Yeomen in a Seabee group. Can I get any help as I don’t know what to except.
Get ready for a different kind of life never back down from anything or anyone
I’m trying to pursue pipe welding. Would a Hull Technician be a better option than a Seabee for that exact job?
No
This reserve unit I respect, but I don’t like EAs and other trades that won’t leave the wire. I love the fight in their hearts though
What are Seabees hours
And hey, I was CM that could and still can out weld a SW
CM2 Norton bring it don’t sing it
Are the Seabees overmanned? This is the only rate that I want and just want to know my chances of getting it. Thanks
