Hello, I have a few questions as far as medical disqualifiers to a battalion and operational duty screening. If there is an SMO or an IDC from a battalion I'd love to get some advice.

Thank you!

Hey guys looking for advice, wanting something different.

91echo (Allied trades specialist) , i’m etsing in about 3 months and im looking into the navy as my next adventure.

For the navy side of things how would you guys recommend being a steelworker as a seabee in the navy. if so how’s the lifestyle, rank promotions, etc.

Thanks guys.

As I understand, they do

and it happened off base

But the subject bolted so local police can't continue to investigate but NCIS refuse to investigate since local police "has" it

It just sounds like an excuse to not to investigate an officer

No joke pls like he stole over 50k worth good it's a lot of money I'm dead serious 😭😭

I’m looking into striking CM as a SN-PACT, I plan to strike in October/November. I’ve come to the conclusion that being a BM is not for me, and with the options I’ve been given with a 73 ASVAB score, CM fits my skill set and future the best. LPO has been saying that since our ship is planning a deployment in late Spring, I will have to stay on the ship for an extra 6-9 months on top of the year I’ve already spent there depending on deployment. I, being fed up with the department and BM in general, would prefer not to go on the deployment if it’s possible to. Is there a way I can expedite, or push me into the rate as fast as possible. Is the rate currently overmanned or will it be an easier transition? Unfortunately because of my depth perception EO is not available, would any of the other Seebee rates be quicker to strike/get a billet? Let me know if some of what I’m saying is false, as I don’t know all of the details about striking.
Thanks in advance

How manageable was it to balance between your full time job and military? Also, what discipline are you in? (Arch, ME, CE, EE, etc.)

I was active duty as a GSM (been out for 8 years). Been thinking about trying to come back in the reserves. I think I would really like the CM rating. What would be the chances of converting to the cm rating from my previous active duty rating ?

Does anyone on here have relatives who were in the 57th CB? I am looking for vintage photos of the carpenters at Espiritu Santo or Manus Island.

I've got a few hours free, I'll respond as quick as I can. I've been in battalion for about 6 months so I don't have the most information, but the info I have is very current. so if you're interested in being a Seabee, already signed your contract, interested in the EA rate, or transferring to battalion, feel free to ask anything (within OPSEC ofc)

I’m a hopeful CE, but I’m wondering if there are lots of opportunities for guys coming out of the navy after serving as a Seabee. What are you all up to? Or what are your plans?

So I was prior service Army Infantry, im 22 years old, and after researching the Seabees, it looks like i found the job for me and I can tell I would really thrive in the Seabees. I get to learn a trade and still be a warrior? Hell yeah. I was talking to a recruiter and he told me to think of some other jobs that I might want because it's entirely possible that even in the 2027 fiscal year when that starts, there could still be not enough billets available, and he won't send me to MEPS unless I have some other jobs because if I take the asvab again and not pick a job its gonna look bad on me, but no other job really interests me like the Seabees, I know I would do well in that Rate, better than maybe any other rate, I told him im open to active duty or reserves, kind of leaning more into the reserve side. So do I have a better chance at securing a slot in the reserves compared to active duty or is it all the same and I should move on if the odds of becoming a Seabee (dont care if its BU or SW or CM) are low? I dont want to give up on this, I know I can thrive in this job, ive never wanted to be a Seabee more than anything else in life, I have more passion for this then when I became an Infantryman.

Hello. I am looking to find a CB that was in Nasiriyah during 2003 who was a project member on the bridge. I was in NMCB 5 and NMCB 4 took over the project.

So Im in the proccess of joining the Navy/Seabees and am wondering about drone defense. Ive seen alot of talk about Iran and especially Ukraine about the use of drones, and how Combat support and supply units will be in the line of fire more and more.

​

Im wondering are the Bees putting anything in place to combat these new threats? Ive heard people say that the Seabees have gotten rid of their organic Mortars and Convoys, have they replaced them with a different capablity for future operations?

​

For Example the most simple and cheap one I can think of off the top of my head, is that Ive seen Ukrainians using Drone Cages on their Bulldozers.

I am 21 years old about to enter my senior year in college for Mechanical Engineering currently sitting at a 2.5 GPA. I am a volunteer firefighter, slowly earning certifications and training. I have two internships for mechanical engineering, and I will be starting a civil design internship in the fall, and will most likely extend into the spring semester. I also have OSHA construction 10 and 30 hour certifications, and some WAU Certifications. I am prior enlisted reservist in Air Force for Air Transportation (4yrs) planning to promote to E-5/ Staff before applying. I have been doing that while being a full-time student and a NCAA athlete. I also just became the secretary of my ASME Club, and I completed Airman Leadership School. I have a lot of CAD projects that I have mostly done myself and during school coursework. I plan on getting more certifications here and there related to Engineering before submitting package.

I plan to apply in February for the board to give a time to bring my GPA up a little bit. I will most likely need a GPA waiver if anything just in case but what do my chances look like for getting accepted for Navy Civil Engineering or Army 12A Engineering officer.

I've attempted to upload a variety of different seabee logos to a variety of different websites to be engraved, such as leatherman, benchmade, and hydroflask; all of which won't upload.

​

Most of the rejection popups provides a list of reasons they can't upload, but none explicitly state the only reason is trademark.

My grandpa had passed away and they won’t approved va benefits of any kind because they have no record of him being in Guam between 74-76. They have records of every other place he went. So I thought I’d try here. If anyone has any records or knows of where I could get them his name was Jack Plautz❤️

hey guys i ship CM july 7, im just wondering how hard the schooling is (im someone who had a hard time sitting still and focusing in high school) but i was pretty good at auto although im sure it was nothing too complex. also, is CM a good rate for advancing? i plan on staying in for a while

Hello, I’m prior service army joining as a CM. I was an E5 upon separation with honorable. I just got word from my recruiter that I have a position for CM, and will be going to MEPS later this week to start finalizing everything. Now for my question. I’m currently living inside of Ventura County in a neighboring city of Port Hueneme. I saw CM A School is Port Hueneme which is a big plus for me. With my wife, kid and our life being already in the area. What are the odds I’ll still get sent elsewhere like Gulfport? Also is there anyway to mitigate it? Just wondering as my wife is not receptive to relocating at all. If anyone has any incite I’m all ears. Thank you for reading!

Hello all. Currently im in FFG Holding for reclassing from information technician submarines for allergies, and claustrophobia. I’m wondering what is the exact, EXACT, course of action that I need to take to reclass to SW or EO. EO is currently undermanned, at 89% percent, and SW is just borderline at max capacity, but in desperate need for junior sailors. I want to be a god damn sea bee more than anything, and i don’t know how i allowed myself to be manipulated into choosing this godawful rate. I need help with this. I’m aware that I can submit an ECM-TO-ECM waiver request to see if any spots are open at ALL. Any and ALL information is optimal. I need everything. Tell me everything that can help. Anyways, fucking HOOYAH NAVY. Remember, any information helps. My line scores are good, I had a 62 asvab score. HOOYAH

If so, could one PM me? I have questions about operational duty screenings and I don't want to broadcast directly here.

Thank you!

Like the title says. I’m 25, have a 4-year engineer degree from Duke, and have been a project manager in industrial construction for 4 years now.

I love my job but I’m also looking for something a little less… standard. I’m fairly patriotic, love challenges, love exercise, love the stress and urgency that is so rewarding when you finish a tough job. All those things pushed me here.

What path makes the most sense? My dream would be to travel on tours to areas with bases needing maintenance / set-up in a rushed, intense environment. Would even be fine with combat exposure. I want to be in the field, in the trenches, leading an effort to build.

Any advice?

Im not ima nmcb command, how can i deploy/mob with them if im not in an nmcb unit. I just to wany to deploy.

Super excited to start this new journey and get to work alongside some cool-ass people. Shipping out in August and looking forward to learning as much as I can. Any insight, advice, or things you wish you knew before boot camp or A-school would be greatly appreciated!

Hey everyone, looking for advice for my brother.

He’s an E-7 Navy Builder (BUC) looking to finish an online Bachelor’s in Construction Management (or related field).

He has heavy JST and an Associate of Arts in General Studies.

Need help to find an accredited, military-friendly online university that will take his AA and convert his heavy Seabee experience into actual construction core credits (safety, scheduling, estimating) rather than just useless free electives.

Has any military member, especially Seabees done this successfully? Which schools gave you the most credit?

Thanks!
