NMCB1 - Keep Calm! You're Halfway Through Deployment!
Keep calm, you’re halfway through deployment! NMCB ONE - The First and The Finest celebrated this “over the hump milestone” with a morale day at the beach complete with fun, games, cake, and USO Holiday Care Packages – courtesy of our friends at the NFL, FedEx, and Jeep!
NMCB 1, is a United States Navy Seabee battalion based in Gulfport, Mississippi and has a long, proud and distinguished history as the very first Naval Construction Battalion of the service that would become known as the Seabees.
Navy construction battalions have been on Guam since the island’s liberation from Japanese occupation in 1944. Since then, Seabees did the initial construction on the island’s main thoroughfare, Marine Corps Drive, and helped Guam and our neighboring islands recover from natural disasters.
USO continues to support rotational Seabee battalions based at historic Camp Covington aboard US Naval Base Guam delivering morale boosting holiday programming giving service members a home away from home during the holiday season and throughout their deployment.
