SeaBees were not assigned to a ship. I work with a SeaBee and he makes fun of me because I spent more time on a ship than he did and I was in the Marine Corps. He had never been on a ship in the 6 (or 8, I don't remember) years he served.Originally Posted by Duane
SeaBee is actually how it is written but it actually stands for Construction Battalion.
They (according to my co-worker) flew everywhere they went.
I am thinking about asking Dave if he would make me just the 'Bee emblems for my truck and add them to my Marine Corps truck. I know it isn't correct but since my dad was in the Navy I wouldn't actually mind. I doubt many civilians would even know the difference.
He is looking to see if he can find any photos from his time in the Navy that show what he calls my M715 a "Weps". He says they still had trucks like mine when he started in '79. I thought I had read somewhere that they had all been phased out by the mid seventies but he is sure that his battalion had them.
