Sorry to hear about your friend's death Phil. This is a rather poignant shot once the story is known. I never lost a crewmate while in the Nav but I can imagine how tough it must be. I've always had a great deal of respect for those doing the tough jobs in the construction battalions and the corpmen who cover them and the grunts. You are a brave man and I thank you for your service.
Are the seabees working on civilian stuff as well as military installations?
Keep posting as you can, I'd like to hear how you are doing.
