Marine corps vehicles and battle tanks are being ground to dust , new types of weapons and small craft are needed , and equipment for the navy seabees must be replaced quickly .
Although I hoped to become involved in naval aviation to help secure an aviation job in wichita after my service , I was instead chosen to serve in the seabees combat engineers .
尽管我希望服役时能从事海军航空部队的工作,但我还是选择了在海军修建营做工程师。
I served two tours of duty in vietnam and one in north africa with the seabees , where their motto " can do " was ingrained on my outlook on life .
