SeaBee SN

I can't find my exact dates of my service in the SeaBees, but I was a Reservist for several years. I loved it. I should have stayed in. I went to the Big Island, HI for one of my annual tours. I got to learn how to make a firewall. I really wanted to learn how to build. It was really fascinating. I had to leave because of family issues.
