If only we knew then what we know now....there goes that hind-sight thing again
During my brief stint in the Seabees reserves,we flew to Roosevelt Roads (hope I spelled that right) in San Juan,Puerta Rico for two weeks "TRAINING" and after working 12-14 hours a day,plus a 6 hour barracks watch,I was ready to re-think my priorities,lost ten pounds,and finally was able to drag my behind back home,and hang it all up!!
AMPHIBS! We had the seaside ships, us; the taxis to shore, the poor marines we dumped in the surf, and the Seabees who received us.
(Of course Seabees also built runways, buildings,etc, but I was Amphib and ony with Beachmasters and Seabees on the beach)
Any of you ever here of Chief Johnson.He pushed me though boot in Aug.74
Doug,after I left the fleet Navy,I had a friend to coax me into going into the SEABEES,as a reservist for a year,and I did,and saw a totally different side of the Navy.First thing they did was to make a BUILDER out of me,which was carpenter work> hammering nails,building picnic tables for boy scout camps,which I really enjoyed doing.But I think the FIGHTING SEABEES can drink beer right alongside the fleet Navy as well
Seabees ripped a gash in my hull pushing us off a beach with a big Cat front end loader in VN! You guys fixed us right up!
Thanks!
I remember the change from SF & DC to HT- as a snipe had lots of HT friends, some liked the change, some didn't.
I also did boot through two companies, appendicitis about third week!
I was disaapointing to lose all the buddies from the first company, those first days are so stressfull, the buddies helped.
Was Company Commander from Nov 1968-July 72 Pushed company's 166,313,463,611 in 1969 & company 938 in 1971I was a SF1 at the time
Went to Boot camp March 16 1960 company 110 got sick and finished with Co125
