Hi all, Just signed up and know you needed a Seabee in your group. I am more active in the G838 site, but always looking at the M37 to add. I am looking forward to learning more ....SEABEE, NMCB 62, '69-'72

Welcome to the G741! Glad to have you with us! "The Fighting Seabees" with John Wayne is one of my favorite war movies!

Recently gave my 33 beer mug I brought back to my son. I used to have a beer often at the dirt floor cafe in my advisor compound. Watch the rice husks and river debris gently drift to the bottom as the river ice melted in my glass. The rice wine was much more potent.

We had an "acquisition specialist" that made you Seabees look like amateurs! We had Budweiser, Black Label and Schlitz. We had steaks. We also had Johnny Walker Black! We didn't drink that, it was used for "trading" purposes in the "markets".

We had more stuff stashed in the Jungle than Charles did I think. Some of it may still be there. :roll:
