I served in MCB 62 from 1968 to 1969 as a Construction Electrician 2nd Class and made one tour to Vietnam. We had to stay longer than expected because the Hurricane wiped out the Gulf Coast and my enlistment was over when we got back to Gulfport. A few years later I got job as an electrician with guess who ? yea, the Navy Public Works Dept at NSA New Orleans and been here ever since. I would have been retired by now if I had not been wiped out by another Hurricane.

Another Minuteman has passed away.

(The following taken from the Gulfport Seabee Courier, dated 3-25-10:)

Frederick Thomas Weaver, 77, passed away March 10, 2010 in Reno, NV. He served in the Navy for 25 years, first as an Airman at Great Lakes, and NAS North Island, San Diego, and later as a Seabee Chief Steelworker with NMCB's 62, 74, and 133 at Gulfport, MS, and NAS, Guam.
