Sir,

During some recent trips and talks with our retired community, Force Levesque and I have gotten some questions about the future of the Seabees and the future of the bases in Port Hueneme and Gulfport. We would appreciate your help in dispelling any and all rumors about any changes/cuts/closures -- THERE ARE NONE. While there has been some discussion of another round of BRAC in the news recently, there are NO PLANS (NONE) right now to close the base in Port Hueneme or Gulfport. There are also no plans to make further cuts to Seabee manning. In fact, in a recent budgeting meeting, senior Navy leaders acknowledged the importance of our Seabees tot the Navy's mission and stated that if savings were needed, cuts to the Seabees should not even be considered. We are in high demand and will remain so as the contingency construction agent of choice.

Recent events such as the POW Medal Ceremony in April and the CM3 Marvin Shields Remembrance Ceremony in June highlighted the courageous achievements of Seabees in the past, and this year's Sailor of the Year selections (two of the four are Seabees and a third is in the NCF), also demonstrate the contributions and recognition of current Seabees in the Navy. The Navy is very aware of and appreciative of the importance and value Seabees, Seabee units, and Seabee bases provide to our national defense. If you can also help dispel any rumors regarding additional cuts to Seabee forces and the closure of any bases, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thank you for all that you do to continue to promulgate our great Seabee heritage.

Very sincerely,

Kate
