I'm prior service Army (8 years) and now in the navy reserves, bro its a different world in a good way. Go seabee EO you're motor-T you drive everything! plus you still learn everyone else jobs so its a win win. So here is how it goes for us priors before entry, talk to a prior service recruiter, they build you a packet with all your documents from your last unit, drivers license and other documents, you do a physical which YOU CAN DO at your civilian doctor with their stamped ID number for "fit to serve status" then they process you, you sign a contract (read carefully) and we get a 20k bonus which is a separate sheet to sign, then you face time oath of enlistment with a an LT or other higher ranking officer, wait a week for final processing then you're in! You'll report to the local NRC unit to in-process, medical, bonus approval, uniforms, speak with the senior chiefs (they're cool, just be squared away), do online courses (standard) get your ID, etc... Also, report in business casual unless you have navy uniforms or they will say something lmao!!! I started out in the NRC for about a year then my local (cross assigned sea bee unit picked me up and now I drill with them (I gets confusing at first then you settle down.) Is it worth it? Yes, PT is mostly gym time and PRT tests are easy, seabees are like family but you still have the high speeds looking out for themselves, You will gain job skills and feel real good about being back in the gaggle lol so do a short contract and feel it out then decide if you want to go long term especially for that pension bro. See you in the ranks future BEE!⚓🪖

I served with Cesar. I think of him every Memorial Day specifically. He was the best of us. More Marine than most Marines and more Doc than most Doctors. Pushed us all to be better.

I remember this timeframe, there was a bunch of Vietnam vets still around in the eighties. I do remember the rumor of the Seabees possibly going away and the Marine Corp Commandant going to bat for the Bees. I retired in 99 and I’m sure things have changed since then. I don’t remember ever having more than 500 packs in a battalion though. I did 58 months in NMCB 133 84-89. The deployment schedule was a killer. 9 and 6 but I was always advance party and main body coming back. Actually got extended one month on my first deployment due to waiting for a west coast battalion to relieve us. I want to say it was 5. Don’t miss the green machine. It was fun but spent a bunch of time away from my family.

I was told the same thing back in 1970 while in bootcamp but guess what , five of us were made seabee's . Everyone else went on the kitty hawk .

We will #AlwaysRemember
