- On March 5, 1942, the Seabees were founded. The AFRH-G showed this special video presentation to residents on Channel 4 to pay tribute to the birthday of the Seabees. The The NMCB in Gulfport has played a key role in the Armed Forces Retirement Home in Gulfport for many years, and we thank them for their continued support and service.

I was stationed at Port Hueneme NMCB3. Entered August 1974 and became a CE. Best mistake I have ever made in my life. I continue with the pride as an engineer in my own remodeling business called Seabee Home Services, Inc.
Dad served aboard the USS Porterfield (DD682) during Korea. As soon as he could we shipped over to the Seabees. He couldn't swim. After four tours in Vietnam, including two STAT teams, 1002 and 1003 with a year at Millington in 1964 as he healed, he retired as a Chief in 1972. As a dependant I had a great ride! Many different schools. Even left Las Vegas after Lake Mead Navy base closed in time to arrive in Long Beach Mississippi in time for Hurricane Camille. I was in a Civil Air Patrol cadet of of Kessler. I joined the National Guard in high school. Two years later joined the Marines. The Navy was my Dads woman. Thanks to him I knew how to fold skivvies and roll socks and hang shirts in the closet. He's been gone 11 years now. Oh, I learned to read with the Blue Jacket Manual.
I was CM from Gulfport,Ms. I'm proud to have been trained to work on all the equipment that I did, because I took that knowledge with me and made a career of it. I'm very blessed to have served beside a great group of people and will always remember each and every one.
Sometimes...every single darn day, I ask myself what the heck have I been doing here? Getting bullied by family and breaking my back with no appreciation. At least some are free of that and build things up instead of getting destroyed. Keep up the great work, Seabees!
Dad was a SeaBee in WWII. Nothing but respect for you guys from this Marine Corps veteran!
I ALWAYS get a nostalgic feeling after watching these. Been There - Did That! Lived It - Loved It! and I wouldn't trade it!
My four years in the Bees impacted my entire life. I was always a Seabee in civilian clothing. I started my real work life as an 18 power lineman. I spent next 20 years as a lineman, then engineer, underground construction for 10 and ended my (38) 42 years program managing Joint Poles in California and working with AT&Ts National C&E Staff. Your time in the Seabees could/will do the same for you no matter what you do. Can Do is way of life...
Me too

I was a CB 1965/1969 heavy equipment operator in Dong Ha, Vietnam 1968/69, it was a wonderful experience in my life.
Signed my contract for CE and I can’t wait to go to basic and A school to officially become a Seabee
NMCB 5 is the one home I miss. My prayers to all the Bees in harm's way and our veteran friends from 5 and NMCB 40.
I always looked at an FOB and thought "man, somebody put in the time and effort and risk to setup such fortification in such a timely manner and in such harsh conditions between combat zones amongst hostile forces. More power to them." turns out these are the guys clearing the dirt for the rest. You're doin gods work
My papa was apart of the seabees, he told me all about it, I was around 4 when he started working in pearl harbour, i remember him coming home all sweaty. When they didn’t need him anymore he decided to become a builder/constructer. So proud of my papa.
I was a Navy Seabee.
CBU-405 & NMCB-5
I had a wonderful experience building many things.
I gotta say though that when I was in (85-96) we did not want to look like other branches. OD Green was boring but at least we did not look like Marines.
Happy Birthday my brothers.
18 Months in Vietnam, 1967-1968 Served with
USN MCB 133- A-Co 5th Platoon. Honorably discharged
1969. God Bless the Seabees of our Navy.
I was in NMCB-1 during the veitnam war. Great outfit.
My grandpa was a Seabee in WW2. Y’all 👍❤️
I was born on Port hueneme in 1960 my dad was a Seabee CPO 20 years I spent my childhood on or near Naval Bases from okinawa to Adam alaska fun times to be a kid exploring sugar fields and caves in okinawa to exploring the beaches of a little island in the Bering Sea
My father served proudly in the MCB74 Vietnam retiring after being an original from WWII
My pops was a seabee frogman blowing things up in ww2.
At his funeral I found out he was part of what the navy seals would become.
He didn't tell me much about the war he told he blew things up including several war ships.
This was part of the war we don't hear much about in the west indies.
He said they wear war supply ships that was running supplies for the german wolf pack submarines and war supplies.
He also built a highway that is still quite popular on the island of Trinidad wear he was stationed and met my mother.
He was a big 6ft3 of a man with hands the size of grizzly and he used them several times. He was the go to man against some marines that thought it was fun beating up sailors.
Including the marine boxing champion.
He even whent as far to dress up as a marine officer and go into there side of the base to get one of them.
They chased him afterwards but couldn't catch him on his Indian motorcycle that he flew from Florida to the island of Trinidad in the bomb rack of a B-17 with himself hanging next to it in a hammock 😂
He said it turned into quit serious event of trying to find the sailor who put on a marine officer uniform got onto there base and beat up one of there marines and put him in the hospital.
He told me this story in the 70s he said they were probably still trying to find him. 😮
Love and miss you pops ❤
I was a Seabee at Chu Lai, SVN and also at Roosy Roads, Puerto Rico. I'd do it all over again. Builder 3rd Class.

Really cool
So much the same but so much different. A 12 month home port, wow. 888 I can remember command watch shore patrole duty following a daylight to dark on the job site. 48 72 hours on ,would do it again. Looks like alot more training and support than I remember. I never wanted to leave the seabees ,30 plus years later I still remember nothing of the weeks surrounding my discharge. Until 2 years ago i ran tractor and trailer over the road 52 weeks a year ,maximising my 70 hour work week ,to prove to myself worthy. The seabees were and will always be my family love you guy.
I was recently diagnosed with MS .in my medical record review ,i seems i may have been showing symptoms in my early 20s while in service and not recognized or understood. Cant blame them for that it's not their job to recognize things like that. Maybe not the rite place or time but it's out there. Love you guys
BU 3 Vickers NMCB 4
I didn't know it then , but it's was the BEST part of my LIFE.
@Isaiah G. Williamson yes. The VA is treating me. This week off to a neuro surgeon. They have eliminated all other reasons for the neuropathy.. they're doing nerve biopsies ,looking for chemical exposure. Some of the spells I went through in recent years are similar to what I went through then and was assumed as alcohol abuse. Never forget the Lt. Telling me ,you boys from up in the hills learn to drink when your little fellows and I'm going to fix it before it becomes a problem before I was sent to ARC at San Diego. Then the rest of my time every day, off to operation golden flow,, take all the meds then he glove up and probe my mouth to make sure it went down. My folder says a valum overdose but I never had access or controle of my meds.,as cause for the 9 days in the hospital. I was sent to long beach months before for EEG and other tests but when I got there there was a message for the driver to bring me back to command and none of it was ever done. It's taken alot of years to talk about it all. The truck kept me buisy and isolated where I wanted to be. It wasn't easy,, numerous times legs give out and fall on the steps getting in or out.. always exhausted no matter how much rest or sleep in the drivers seat because I physically couldn't get out of it. Prying my fingers off the wheel when my hand locked on. Now I hide on my little 6 acre homestead.. it took me 10 months to build my 14 by 30 quail barn. My 30 by 36 pole barn is under roof, at my pace I figure another 10 months on that. Hope to tear down and refurbish one of the farmall Cubs that I keep my acre garden with. Alot of time on hands and knees and laying down in the isles while doing the hand work. When I am able to go I go as hard as I can. In the physically down time, scowering adds on line for cheap and used material. I stock pile for months befor I build. My gf panics every time my feet leave the ground ,she knows how bad my falls are. I poi t to the can do on the wall and tell her will do. I'm broken but not useless. I still can do even if it takes me weeks ,months or years to do what I did in hour or days. hit the down button.
Please and thank you...
Thank you all...

After Seeing The Seabee I See No Evidence Using Bomb Explosive Demolitions Not The Combat Engineer Explosive 🇺🇸💪🏻⚓️🪖💣🧨
Our unit( MNCB133 ) used a rock drill to bore holes at low tide, then used dynamite to blast the coral reefs to make runways.
Nmcb 40 in California was decommissioned a few years ago.theyll be back.gonna need em with the Chinese threat.gotta build up our Pacific bases again
Most of these navy civil engineer corps officers never served in a cb battalion.they sat in Norfolk or port hueneme in air conditioned offices designing shit the battalions built while on regular deployment

This is just a bunch of stolen videos
Strange to see female SEABEES, lol 😆 we had none and did not need them in the battalions. Battalions were considered a combat force. I guess a girl can be a seal 🦭 🤷 also lol.
Females came into battalions around 93.some were good some not.
None of them could work on a bridge unless they had major help.they wanted equal opportunity and weren't so happy when they got it.alot different than the public works gravy duty they were doing b4 then
