My Father was in the Fighting 58th in the South Pacific Island hopping and have a few things from his time there , I have a picture-of his battalion on Guadalcanal he didn't speak much about the actions I remember him going to the V.A hospital in Philadelphia many times to have shrapnel removed from his body pretty-much till the day he died.He also had many nightmares and always slept with his eyes open. . As the song goes" You don't what you have much till you know that its gone" . Yep they were the Greatest Generation.

I had 2 great uncles serve as Seabee during WW2, one from both sides of my family. I put 8 years in as a CM, I miss it now.

Hey I also want to join the sea bees as a construction mechanic. I'm in my last year of highschool and plan on joining after. What should I study to score high enough to qualify.

@@luckclan2262 I think there might be some kind of course or books you can find to help you with the ASVAB, but, as far as being a CM you go to "A" school right after boot camp. Take a mechanic course to help you understand the material you will go over in the class.

Im actually gonna be leaving for bootcamp for the navy in June. And after that I get to go to A’s school to be a CM. I’m really excited but nervous at the same time.

@stevencampot9742 3 жыл бұрын

As a CM do you also work in the field with the other seabees building and helping or are you mostly in a shop/garage?

My Uncle "bud" Cmdr. M.L. Sowle was in the SeaBees from WWII at age of 18 until he retired as the last commanding officer of CB base Davisville R.I. before they closed it down . He was in WWII , Korea, & built fuel depots & air strips in V.N. Also was deployed to build bases & weather stations etc, in the Caribbean, as well as in charge of units all over the U'S.

My uncle was in the 58th Battalion, Company B, 2nd Platoon. I just can across his scrapbook and there is letter to my Mother in there describing the night time bombings by the Japanese and just how bad they were. I remember him as a kid and he never said a word about it.
