Greeting to all who knew me, hope life is treating you good!! 24 years since I walked away from 62 and the battalion folded. Many good times and alot of beer with incidents I laugh about to this day. My Little brother is a E-7 {fleet rate} in NMCB5 right now,He told me camp covington in guam got turned over to the army, no more seabees. I visited him and I can say the seabees from the past and the seabees of now are completely different in all aspects. I am sure everyone on this site will agree, when you see the numbers "62" when paying for something or a address or a size or model number of something it spurs some great memories or a silent laugh. Can't seem to shake those numbers....great memories!! I am still runnin bulldozers makin a good living thanks to seabee training.Submitted by: Jeff Nylander

Glad to finally find the 62 website. Met up with 62 as a CE before we headed out for the last full deployment to Diego Garcia in 81, then to Guam, then det Gitmo, then Det Thurmont.Now I am a history teacher and share all my photos with my high school students, I never have a problem keeping their attention.

My 1st husband Jimmy Patteson was in MCB 62 from 7/1968 thru 6/1970 . He was in the heavy equipment operator division. He was wounded in April of 70 in country. He passed away in 1997. I was looking at your web site and thought it would be of great interest for his grand children to see and just wanted to thank you for doing it.Submitted by: Paul Wollenhaupt
