(18,107 posts)58. During the Gulf War, we had some Seabees
in our unit helping us clear a path through the minefield along the Highway 80 land corridor,
really great guys.
Worked with the Seabees in Vietnam and throughout my career, there never was a better bunch of guys, IMO, the Seabees were crazier than we were, and that's a hard thing to do.
Seabee motto: We Build, We Fight, We Party all night.
Can Do.
