My dad was an E5 SeaBee in WWII. He was one of those skinny, shirtless guys with a stick welder, stitching together that runway lattice stuff on the Pacific Islands. Thanks - Lumpy

You did not mention headquarters company made up of fleet rates. Example: gunnersmate, cooks, medical, pencil pushers, supply, laundry, barbers, and on it goes.
@MarkusRock7776 жыл бұрын
The one thing that they don't tell you, is if you for example, that your rate might be full and you need to score an 85% on your test to make the next grade, when other rates may not have many people so they will pass you at 75% on your test score to go from say, E-4 to E-5. Am I right?

Hey Melvin, is it possible to crossrate as a seabee into something else under the same contract? also, does everyone get sick during bootcamp?

Taylor, I don't know if you can help me out or not... I'm getting 2 associates one in Electrical and one in HVAC and I'm trying to go back in, I'm prior service Marine (RE:1A) I was just curious if you think I would have to go to the MOS school if I already have formal education, and I'm curious as to how that would work with rank whether it's an option to go WO (Obviously not until I hit E6)

My dad was a 2d class carpenters mate in ww2, interesting enough his battalion was also 20th regiment 4th marines so he was a carpenters mate in the marine Corp as well.

Sounds pretty cool. Is it possible to be a Steel Worker and Construction Mechanic? I've heard in the CB's, you can have 2 rates.
@melvintaylor9067 жыл бұрын
Anthony Sagen It has to be in the same company or the same category. like construction mechanics and equipment operators all work together in one company, alpha company. Steel workers mostly work with builders (BU) and they also have there own company as well, Charlie company. They might change it though later down the road though, u never know. Thanx for asking bro that was a good question!!

Do you get to pick your rate inside the CB or is it assigned to you?
@kangroo786565 жыл бұрын
You take the ASVB test which tells them what you'll be able to learn to do. The better score you get, the more choices you get.

"Rate" actually refers to an enlisted sailor's rank (e.g., Petty Officer 3rd Class), while "rating" refers to the sailor's job (e.g., builder - BU).
