The Korean War was absolute hell on all the US FORCES. If you see a Korean War Veteran anywhere please show them the deepest respect. That war was horrible. They were fighting for their lives in freezing weather,sleet and snow, waist deep red mud. Then the summers are so steamy hot and rainy. Miserable weather and getting bombed and shot at or worse!!!
My grandpa was a Seabee in the Pacific during WW2 during the push to Tokyo. His stories were bloodcurdling. I’m getting goosebumps just thinking about it. His job was to build while the Marines protected them. They built airfields and bridges all while under enemy fire. Were they shooting back? No. They were pouring concrete and laying timber. God bless the US Seabees.
Never known a SeaBee who would say they were Navy before they were a SeaBee. Generally speak among other branches, being a SeaBee garners far more respect than even being a naval officer would..marines and sailors have a famous rivalry, but a marine will tone it down for a SeaBee
I had the distinct pleasure of working with two former SeaBees in the fire department. Hardest working human beings I ever met. Those two could build literally ANYTHING, and they had unbelievable logistics abilities. Just give those boys the right tools and a deadline and turn them loose.
Yep when I was deployed on my first tour as a marine officer. We were sent to the early years at Afghanistan. We pretty much dropped in a classified location and had to hold down the area for a few days. We had gun fire and rpgs hitting us randomly during the day and night without any defenses. The seabees came in on our 6th day being there and they built us a whole assed fort in less than a week. I lost 3 guys that first week. None of them got killed but they did have critical wounds. The seabees really saved our ass
Seebees don't get enough credit. For that matter engineer's of all branches don't get the credit they deserve. I could sit here and write paragraphs upon paragraphs on all the amazing things they do. I'll give the short version and just say that the Seebees are absolutely badass. Badasses that kick ass. A genuine and heartfelt thank you to all Seebees that might read this. Hell for that matter I'd like to thank anyone that served at all. We appreciate you all...now if we could just get the VA to do the same and provide you guys with everything you need and we're promised. Lol. (Sorry VA, just poking fun. I know you guys are busy. You guys as well should get more money and staff to take care of all of this nations heros.)
One of my RDC’s at Boot Camp was a Seabees Chief. That dude was the Chiefiest chief that ever chiefed. I learned a lot from him and also learned that i picked the wrong rate lol.

Glad to see this...Dad was a SeaBee. I can see Naval Base Ventura County (Pacific SeaBee base) from my bedroom window at my house. This IS my home. For those that would like to know a bit more...there is a nice museum outside the base open to the public. Please visit!!!
Hey man what’s up I have a question if you don’t mind… how does someone become a Seabee? My fear is enlisting and ending up doing something that I don’t even like if I’m gonna risk my life I would like to do it as a Seabee
In Bosnia, they built sea huts that made a huge difference in comfort. We didn’t have that luxury as an outlying platoon. But we got to see how the rest of our company lived when we stopped by during missions. Very jealous. Thank you very much for your awesome support!
I was in the SeaBees from 1972-1982. I wouldn't change one minute of those days. The mission was worthy but left because of the strain on my family. I finish out my career in the military construction trades in the Air Force Civil Engineering. For a single guy, the projects and travel can't be beat. It was good to run into this video.

Shout out to the seabees in Guam that helped setup our makeshift emergency field hospital during the whole USS Theodore Roosevelt incident. Us lab techs processed so many Covid patients and saved lives cause of you!
I was a Marine barracks manager in Iraq when I found out about the seabees. I would go to our own combat engineers to try to get supplies for the barracks and would be given a hard time. Found out about these guys and they were like sure here you go, oh you'll need this too and take this with you too. They are awesome.
My dad passed three years ago but he did two tours in Vietnam with MCB9 (San Dieago, CA) then four years as a reservist in Quonset Point RI (home of the Quonset hut). He was in communications. He used that trade when he got out. Then he did 35 years with the phone company. The SeaBees are a vital asset to the U.S. military force. Many people do not know about them or what they do.
You guys built everything for local people in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Vietnam, Korea and anywhere needed... all local people love you guys......forever!
Ah the Fighting SeeBees. One of John Wayne's best war movies. It introduced a generation of people, who had no clue such an outfit existed or its importance to the successful military operations. They build the bases and runaways so critical to military successes. As well as the rebuilding processes after a conflict or disasters.
My Grandpa’s uncle, who I’m named after, was a Navy CB involved with D-day. He operated a Rhino ferry, I don’t know too much about it but I’ve heard one story. Apparently after the beach was taken, he had to pick among the injured young men and decide who would live long enough to make it back to the ships. He also had to decide who was too injured to make it, meaning he had to leave them on the shore to die. There might be something wrong with the story but I don’t bother my grandpa about it too often cause it makes him emotional. Hats off to you all in the Navy CBs and all who served past, present or future.
This shit sounds badass! This is something I would join for, for me personally it’s worth the time training and shit, just to get to help people in need, hell yeah man
If you are ever interviewing a contractor for a project and they say they were in the SeaBees, hire them on the spot because they know how to do anything and do it right.
A lot of my enlisted leadership were SeaBees when I was in the Riverine Squadrons. Those guys are no joke. If I would’ve known about them before I joined, I would’ve been a SeaBee. Hooya!!!
My great grandfather was with the Seabees at Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7th. Returned home after the war and became a regional foreman starting as a lineman company. Great man. Always spoke highly of the detail he was with.
The seabees were formed on March 5th, 1942. Pearl Harbor's attack was December 7th, 1941. He may have been in the navy, but he wasn't a Seabee on Dec. 7th.
If you’re around a large group of Seabees, you can get them all to look at you at once by saying “hey Seabee”! This from a proud Seabee ( Ret. ). Great group of people

When I was going into navy boot camp, I wanted to be a part of the SeaBees real bad for they did what I loved which was build homes, bases, outposts, etc. Unfortunately I was discharged and sent home after finding out my knees, despite my age at the time, were pretty messed up.

@@junjun.47_ Tell your recruiter you wont sign a contract for any rate that isnt Seabee. BU, CE, UT, CM, EA, SW. When you hit MEPS, double down on what you said. If they dont offer any Seabee rates, tell them youre not signing and will have to come back at another date when one opens up. They cannot force you to take another rate unless you went to bootcamp, A-School and then failed out of your training too many times. I highly recommend Construction mechanic, because of the special billet opportunities when you get offered DEVGRU orders, but thats only if you really plan on going all out for the navy. Ive been a UT for a minute and its been great. Never thought I would be a Plumber / Hvac tech in my life. Take everything with a grain of salt. It will not always be great.
I was a ROK navy translator when Seabees where at our battalion for both construction work and humanitarian aid. Great guys to be around with. Was alot of fun.

So if you join the Navy you can’t like specify like hey I want to be a Seabee what do I need to do?
@@junjun.47_ yessir just tell your recruiter you want to pick one of the Seabee rates there’s a few of them
@@junjun.47_ Tell your recruiter you wont sign a contract for any rate that isnt Seabee. BU, CE, UT, CM, EA, SW.
When you hit MEPS, double down on what you said. If they dont offer any Seabee rates, tell them youre not signing and will have to come back at another date when one opens up.
They cannot force you to take another rate unless you went to bootcamp, A-School and then failed out of your training too many times.
I highly recommend Construction mechanic, because of the special billet opportunities when you get offered DEVGRU orders, but thats only if you really plan on going all out for the navy.
Ive been a UT for a minute and its been great. Never thought I would be a Plumber / Hvac tech in my life. Take everything with a grain of salt.
It will not always be great.
No you join the navy and you end up with the marines.
Never heard of them. Before college, I was on the fence about serving and this MOS would’ve sealed the deal for me. Love it
I don't just see brave Americans but, I see brave Americans f*cking WINNING! My favorite thing to see!
Winning where? On a video?
once a marine always a marine, thank you for your service brother
Seabees are freaking awesome ❤💪🇺🇸
I was a ROK navy translator when Seabees where at our battalion for both construction work and humanitarian aid. Great guys to be around with. Was alot of fun.
Seabees are very important to the us thank you for your service
Currently a CM3, honestly the things you get to do in the Seabees is fucken awesome.
All I could think about was how the SeaBees back in the day stole the enemies train and their beer 😂
Went to tech school with the Seabee's. They took their HVAC course with us at Sheppard AFB, TX. Great group of people!
SeaBees are pretty awesome. I have lived in a few building they put up in some serious cold weather in Afghanistan. Thanks you SeaBees!
Love my Navy. Last command was Beach Group 2. SeaBees are some of the hardest working sailor's in the Navy. Go Navy!
Trained at NCTC with the SeaBees. Honestly the best group of any branch.
Thank you for sharing this with us. It’s good to know this
Some of the best engineers I've ever met have been seabees
My uncle is a Seabee. He served during the Vietnam war. He's awesome.
My father was a Sea Bee in Vietnam. He returned a few years ago before he past. The military base he helped build was still being used by the Vietnamese military.
Thank you for your service.. wonderful effort!!
My RDC was a seabee,home dog was just different,and yes homedog.he was our mentor who helped alot of us straighten out our flaws that we put onto ourselves with our mentality.
Gotta love the Seabees man. They help alot in my job.
The legends of the seabees of WWII will be hard to topple....
