Seabees: Good News -

Roger Sinnott, former LTJG, saw my request "Looking For" info and emailed me the 2nd page of CDR Jones 27 Sep 1969 Family Gram. He is going to send more requested documents in the near future. Thank you very much LTJG SINNOTT.

I'm still waiting for you others who have "stuff" from deployments that needs preserving and sharing with Minutemen members. How about it? We truly are not getting any younger.

To: Capt. Hilderbrand,

Can you provide any info on the completion date of the Memorial Plaza at the Seabee Heritage Center? If their is a dedication ceremony, some of my Seabee Brothers would like to attend and also see the memorial bricks.

Regards,

Vernon,

Work on the Plaza is proceeding NMCB 13 has just completed the concrete work. The bricks should be done by late October. Our target date for the dedication ceremony is Friday, 1 December with RADM Muilenburg, the Chief of Civil Engineers, as the speaker for the ceremony. After the New Year, a contractor will be brought in to install an awning over the new entrance to the Seabee Heritage Center which is being moved from the north side of the building to the east side where the Memorial Plaza is.

As we get closer, we plan to send an invitation to all those who purchased a brick.

Bill (Hilderbrand, President, Gulfport Seabee Historical Foundation)

Greetings Seabees, their relatives and all other military folks:

There are many Seabees and military folks who for whatever reason have never gotten a copy of their own service record, only a DD-214 when they were discharged. Then they lost that. The NMCB 62 Alumni Group Members, whose dues pay for this website, have been trying to find a civilian researcher who, for a fee you pay, will do what paperwork is required, go to whatever place the service records are kept, jump through the hoops and get a copy of that persons service record for them.

Our NMCB 62 Alumni Group is in the process of getting the Battalions personnel reports (these are NOT individuals service records), from 1966 to 1971. It has proven to be not an incredibly good life experience trying to deal with some government historical records storage agencies. So, I have hired a researcher from Washington, DC to help us. He does not do individual service record retrieval so I asked him how our individual Seabees, or their dependents or relatives can get a copy of their own individual service records. He responded that he knows just such a person who does individuals military service records. Her name is Lori Miller from the St. Louis, MO area and her contact info is in the following guestbook entry. Each Seabee, or any military person or relative can contact Lori Miller directly. It is not necessary to go through our NMCB 62 Alumni Group to contact Lori Miller. It is my/our hope that those hundreds who have been trying for many years to get a copy of their service record to help with a VA claim or any other claim will finally be successful.

I am personally confident that Lori Miller will get results for those who have been unsuccessful trying to get a copy of their service record.

I have another document with this and more information which I will email to anyone who requests. My email address is above.

Ahoy mateys. Just a quick hello. Who knew when one of the EA's made me a shortimers calendar while deployed to Puerto Rico 1980-81- I would reverse course and stick around for another 20 years retiring as PNC(SCW).
