Thank you for posting this <3

Thank you for the information. I was a BU as a reservist many years ago during Desert Storm. We were on standby but we're not activated. God bless you!

I wish I did the SeaBees. I made a crapload of mistakes in my life. I will be 58 years old in Jan 2021. I went in as a non-rate at 17 years old. I should have got a burger flipper job at 18 and lived a crappy life in real world for 1 or 2 years. Then joined Navy at 19 years old. Then sign up as a seabee and learn a skill. I am damn lucky that the VA is helping me get my life together now but I regret not doing a lot of things differently.

[@sidracks5773]

Any advice on ASvab testing. Which areas should i focus on so ican become a seabee

[@moon-cyclist4565]

I'm going through corpsman A-school rn but I want to cross into Seabees. I wanna be an EO or CM. I wanted to go CBs halfway through basic and my RDCs told me I couldn't crossrate which was a big ol lie. Trynna work it out now, it's just a pain in the ass

[@VELEZPRODUCTIONS63]

Does it matter what rate I join as...( CM, BU, CE, etc...) when going to A school ? Do they all learn the same basic building skills or is it all specified to the rate you pick?

[@christianjtlatelpa8562]

I have a question, do you have time to go to school as a Seabee? A response would be much appreciated

[@davidxiong8492]

Just swore in as a BU, is the doll house a group or single person project?

[@johnnydough8924]

I’m curious to know, Is it more new construction or renovation work?

[@2manycatsforadime]

where did you go to A school. Did you go to Lajeune for combat?

[@cameronhammers3876]

Are you able to use your own tools

[@fatormadeddeh8501]
