Senior Chief, I am more than grateful for the advice, guidance, and counsel you've taken upon yourself to provide to my son. You're an asset to the Navy and to our nation.
Stay safe as the next chapters of your career unfold, and by all means, please stay in touch with the Seabee forum here.
I've had the pleasure of service with this gentleman in the great country of Iraq. He has always been helpful and willing to share his knowledge. I'll be taking the First Class exam next cycle. Wish me luck. Until the next deployment,
Gotta warn ya, when I was a Military Training Instructor at Camp Fogerty, Davisville, RI (1969) I taught Map Reading. The 1st thing I did was asked if anyone had previous ARMY experience, then showed them the Army way and the (right) SEABEE way to do things.
