I'm not a Seabee, but my grandfather was a Seabee forever! He did a bunch of work in Central and South America during the 60's and 70's.

I'm the "black sheep" of the family...I went Army even though my dad, uncle, and grandfather had been in the Navy. Even my grandmother (mom's side) was in the Navy during WWII, but it was the German Navy.

Sorry - retired Navy here (23 years worth). Wasn't a SeaBee, but knew many. You guys build one hell of a BBQ! Ran across you guys in Japan (Sasebo) as well as GITMO, Beirut and other places around the world.

Father-in-law was a SeaBee during WWII, wife served in the Navy during Viet Nam, an intelligence officer in London, England. My lottery number was 9, (that was how they drafted us for a few years), but then I failed my physical, 4F.
Best of luck to you SeaBee!

Not sure what a SeaBee is, but my brother is in Navy Boot Camp right now. Then he is off to Nuke School in Charleston.

Kris,

A friend of mine is an instructor at the nuke school in Charleston. Small world!

Nuke program is tough! But if he can make it through he will have power companies beating down his door trying to get him to leave the Navy. Or if he stays, the Navy offers large bonuses for Nukes.

I know, his re-enlistment bonus is supposed to be like $45000 or something like that. My dad was 20 year navy, BT. He retired in '94 at the ripe old age of 37...hehe. He is a pretty smart kid, I am just worried about him turning into my dad...(My dad was a hard a$$ that brought Navy stress home with him...)

As of right now they can only go on carriers out to sea. (Since they're the only ships that have reactors on them.) As far as shore commands, they can go anywhere. Not sure if there are any 'ships' other than carriers that are considered seagoing vessels but are stationery.

Back in the 80's when I was aboard Nimitz (nuke), all those "nuke boys" were driving Trans Ams, Corvettes, etc. with their reenlistment bonuses. They're up to 45K now???? Man, they're driving Range Rovers nowadays, huh? Not bad for a 19 year old.

hell, his enlistment bonus was $11000. He gets it after Nuke School...Plus all of the money he is going to make in the next few years isn't going to get spent. He is single, so the Navy houses him and stuff....

He will end up having a grip when he gets out of Nuke school

Carrier Shore Weenies?? LOL! Funny. I always knew you guys thought of us as targets. However,
I don't think that was shore duty sitting off the coast of Beirut 7 months (the first time) and 6 months (the second) while you sub guys were eating steak and lobster every night, or in port in Trondheim with some frauline!!

Hey all. I am sorta wonderin about joining the Navy. I'm 20 right now and love math. Im in all the accelerated classes in my courses at my college. I noticed yall barely touched on the subject of enlistment or reenlistment bonuses. I noticed some large numbers to say the least. How does enlistment work?, and how does your salary work, bonuses? Can I please have some help on this topic?? Thanks in advance.

I knew some good dudes in GTMO that were SeaBees.

I went to Nuke School in Orlando - but spent too much time down the road at "The Cover Girl"

Failed out the last day with a 2.3 GPA

Went back to ET school and then all over the place.

Did 10 years and got a bonus for getting out - during Clinton's downsizing

I don't think the demand for ex-Nukes is that powerful in the civilian world - or so I've heard...

I know the recruiters get a sweet little bonus for snagging Nuke wannabes

But the Military in general is deteriorating with all this political correctness and sissified liberal intervention.

Damn the Torpedoes, Full Speed Ahead

Randy, I'm a Seabee stationed at NAS Fallon NV. I've been in since 1986 and have toured with two Battalions and three CBU's. I hope we're not the only two Bees on this site. I've always had mopars and have to rate my 98 4x4 Dak as the best so far. Shoot me a line sometime.

Hey Jonathan, I just came off recruiting. I don't bull^&*$, just tell it like it is, if you are really interested in possibly joining, e-mail me. Depending on how many college credits you have...you are entitled to additional sign on bonuses for your college. But, I do not advocate joining the Navy for "sign on bonuses, or college money"...in today's uncertain world you'd better not forget your main reason for "service to country"...be ready to go when called upon to go....you know what I mean?? My e-mail is ragingcb@aol.com. Take care
