i love being in the seabees as a BU but i wish times where better so i could have started out active duty instead of reserve but i am proud to be apart of NMCB 28, OLD PROS HOORAH
I had the honor of serving with petty officer austin, I will tell you he is an awesome seabee!! I miss ncmb 26 with all my heart! However missing them is no longer an option! I am coming home! Hooorahh seabees!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My better half is also a John Austin. Was in the Seabees and was in the Antarctic Continent, plus many other places, i.e. Panama Canal, Chile, Marshal Islands, etc.
Love the seabees and has great memories. So glad there is another Austin in the Sesabees! :)
Hoorah Seabee! From SWCN Weller in 74. Jock4life58, dont expect any training at all, unless you become activated or become active duty period....Sorry but its the truth.
@1XMarksSpot OH GOOD LORD YOU LIBERAL HIPPY! You watch too much CNN! I have been Vaccinated by shit loads of stuff as a Bee and i am healthy as hell.... Man!
i wanted to do SW when i was signing up, but all the seabee rates were closed and i got IS. I enjoy it but i kinda wish i could live two lives so i could have been a seabee : (
I don't know if you know this, but, we have a shortage of officers in the Navy.. with an architectural degree.. I don't know why you're not helping the Navy as an officer... you're not giving the Navy everything you've got... we need your brains to lead our soldiers and bring them home... we are Navy seabees and we need officers with balls to lead our soldiers... ENSIGN G*****
the minium score to join the navy is 35. but you wont be able to get a good job without at least a 50. the test is very easy though as long as you know basic knowledge. good luck GO NAVY
Us navy are the only US service that I think is real cool, you give to much cash to army and air force to waste on stealth craft and lasers. I shouldnt complain, a first sergeant in USAF lives down the road from me in a US forces britain base and he pays me to clean his car.
you're enlisted with a degree in Architecture??.. you're supposed to be an officer... whatever.. something smells fishy.. why follow when you can lead?... something is really fishy...
There is nothing wrong with that. I am in the same "boat." The main thing is that he knows what it is to be a Seabee. The Seabees are truely a second family... we look after each other.
I too have done some travelling and met many new friends. He speaks the trueth.
I have a degree in computer science and enlisted as a Construction Electrician. I love my civilian job, writing software for a small Mac developer, but I also wanted to get out from behind a desk. Nothing fishy, just my two cents.

Awesome video. I'm joining the Navy soon. Either as a Seabee or a Corpsman. Not too sure yet. Depends on my Asvab score.
