I spent 3 years there. I was in the equipment operator "A" school form April of 1969 to June 1969. Then went to Iceland. I went back to MCB-4 from Nov. 70 to Jan. 73. Loved it there.

I was born in Oxnard! My Dad is a retired Navy Seal and I am sure he has been there many times, I will have to ask him about it. :-)

Thanks for looking RE. In the last few years they have built a new museum in honor of the Sea Bees, must go sometime to check it out. Cliff

I will never forget the sign at the Sea Bee base in Gulfport MS.

Sea Bees can do!

I know this an old post, but I was at Port Hueneme recently and the SeeBee has now been removed. Unable to get info about if it would reinstalled or not. CAN DO!
