Tell us a little bit more about your job.
I wake up every morning excited to go to work and see how the day will unfold. Every day brings new challenges and experiences. I work directly with about 50 Seabees, primarily equipment operators, as part of Naval Mobile Construction Battalion ONE THIRTY THREE. We are currently preparing for our upcoming deployment to Europe and Africa. It has been a wild ride this past couple of years preparing for this job.
