Movie name ?

@@sugardaveyyepez134 The Fighting Seabees starring John Wayne.

Required watching last day of school.

Why didn’t you join?

@@jesserichardson5880 I recieved an Army ROTC scholarship.

While literally a boy he learned how to overhaul an engine, drive a dozer, and trust his judgement. We tend to coddle our children. I say give them challenges. You'd be amazed by what they're capable of.

How old are you?

@@travismarshall1385 59. My father would be 101.

Got that right. I may not get up as early but Seabee traditions live long an this movie will be classic another 100 years from now CAN DO

@@stemmentor9700 Have done!! HOORAH!

My dad who passed away 2 years ago was a Seabee EO E7 CPO

Was fortunate to meet some WWII Seabees that actually helped pave the way at IWA Jima (SP) for the Marines. A great generation it was. It was an honor to meet them and listen to them. Your grandfather is a great American and this retired Seabee salutes him

did not know that about the dad. Cool.

I’m here right now and idk what cattle car pt is😂

Then you should have seen it in 1982 when I was there.

Seabees are way cooler

All the bad bitches are in the army🤣

Pretty much the same as that and the engineers in the Air Force. Not sure if you all did combat training though. And it was cool that while everyone else wore Navy dungarees we wore our greens.

My late father was in the Army 116th Combat Engineer on the island of Tanna in WWII. The CO addressed them in formation one day and told them they were going to welcome a company of Seabees for training. Dad always spoke highly of them. They helped build two hospitals, bridges where needed and fought malaria. I wanted to be a Seabee but washed out in basic with a stomach full of ulcers.

We actually had someone recently flood the whole second story 😭

CBC Gulfport MS .....if you ain't Go to NCTC in 39501 you ain't got no Salt

@@MichaelScreamMachineEvans So what do you say about going to A School back in 1969 / 1970. Where were you at this time ?

Port Hueneme has changed since then. I went to A school there in 79, 2 battalions in PH later. Recall being in them cattle cars being hauled to the back areas of the base. Crazy EOs and CMs loved to get folks going with their driving. Lol. Good memories. This old EA learned one thing the hard way. Wait for a ride instead of riding in back of dump truck on dirt road. Man, I got thrown around like crazy. (They warned me) but seriously think they hit every pothole they could. EAs know how to get even. It’ll never forgot that 20 min beating.

@@stemmentor9700 yep, I went in 81 and remember that well. I was a CM.

I went to Port. Hueneme in 1982 after Basic. It was a great place to train. especially being 17 and away from home for the first time. I joined the Air Force after for 15 years, and then the Army National Guard until retirement.

Why didnt u join the Seabee reserves?most rates are still taught at battalion centers.eo and I think cm moved to army base.money saving measure I'm guessing.they were training air force redhorse in Gulfport back in 97.things keep changing

My dad was in port hueneme, he was an E7 CPO equipment operator, he went to Antarctica, was in Vietnam as well, he passed away 2 years ago

When I retired after 20 years. Once a Seabee, always a Seabee

@@stemmentor9700 i was a sw3 nam 67/68 so was my dad in WW2 and my son in about 2000 I was in 3 delta company

I was a seabee in 99 too
