Mine also deployed in Sept to Afg. I agree it will be a long 6 months, but 3 1/2 weeks down and counting. Debbie, congrats on on your seabee's safe return.

My son deployed in September to AFG (NMCB 22). It will be a long 6 or 7 months

Debbie, CONGRATULATIONS on his safe returen! You must be so relieved and thrilled to have him home. Have you had a chance to see him yet? I hope so.

What does he say about his deployment? Any advice for us rookies?

Hi Mindy. My son is deploying next year. He is in batt 133. What about your son/daughter?

Hello all seabee moms. Anyone have a seabee going to Afghanistan next year?

Hi Seabee moms. My daughter is about to PIR boot camp next week. After A school, she will be a Seabee. She told me in her last letter there is a good chance she will be in a combat zone. Can anyone tell me about female Seabees in combat zones? How close do they get to the "action?" How dangerous can this get? I know they can serve side by side with Marines. I am very proud of my daughter, but this info has jarred me a bit. I guess it is becoming "real." I would love any info so I can begin to process the knowledge my daughter may very well be in harm's way. Thanks, much.

I am still sad and my heart goes out to the soldiers families. I pray for and thank all those who serve in our armed forces during this time of conflict.

That makes me so sad and makes me feel anger too. I am praying for those families. And I pray daily for all of us, our families, our SeaBees.

I just read the story about the Seabees dying in the Philippines, then read it to my son. It breaks my heart my son was there last year doing the exact same thing - building schools. When you listen to the stories on the TV, the stories from our kids and their friends it is hard not to get upset and scared for our Seabees, I try to remember each one of them has a different story and a different experience and only an extremely small part is public. My prayers go out to those families, my son is my world.
