 Service members from the Navy, Air Force, Army and Marines gathered in an explosion of enthusiasm and pride to celebrate the CB's 71st birthday during this year's CB Ball at the Hotel Nico Guam in Tumon. Preserving your history is important because the history of an organization is what forms the culture. It's what forms the reputation. It's the legacy of all those who have gone before. So having anniversaries like this gives us a sense of belonging and a sense and a connection to our predecessors and those predecessors are very important to us because that's a legacy that we want to continue as we go into the future. It's not just that we have Navy CB's and Navy Civil Engineer Corps officers here joining us. We also got a mixture of all the other services. We got a large contingent of Army engineers here and I'm very happy to see that joint atmosphere of military engineers coming together tonight to help us celebrate. I think it's a really good experience for us to unwind with the Navy, since we've been working so hard with them. It's kind of nice to decompress all the workload that we have going on. It's the first CB Ball I've ever been to. I've been in this battalion about six months. All the history on this island and being here with the CB's. I joined to be a CB. This is who I wanted to be. Being here representing the CB's is a great opportunity for me. I really enjoy it. We work very hard throughout the year so having this opportunity to stop and pause all our work events and just go out and celebrate the legacy and the traditions that we have is very important to us. So happy birthday to all the CB's, happy birthday to all the Civil Engineer Corps officers and finally happy birthday to all the NAFAC professionals out there. We've earned an evening to celebrate.
