We call upon all former Navy SeaBees to join us for a conversation marking the 83rd anniversary of the founding of the U.S. Navy's Construction Battalions on March 5, 1942. Formed in response to the urgent need for military construction forces capable of working under combat conditions, the Seabees have since established themselves as an indispensable part of U.S. military operations. Before World War II, the Navy relied on civilian contractors to build bases and infrastructure. However, after the attack on Pearl Harbor and the U.S. entry into the war, it became clear that construction crews needed to be able to defend themselves. The solution was the formation of Naval Construction Battalions—skilled builders trained as combatants. The name “Seabees” comes from the phonetic pronunciation of the initials “CB.” Seabees undergo rigorous training that combines construction expertise with military readiness. Initial training takes place at the Naval Construction Training Center in Gulfport, Mississippi, and Port Hueneme, California. Recruits learn essential skills like carpentry, plumbing, electrical work, heavy equipment operation, and demolition. In addition, they receive weapons training and instruction in defensive tactics, ensuring they can operate in hostile environments. Their motto, “We Build, We Fight,” reflects their dual purpose. During World War II, Seabees were deployed to the Pacific and European theaters, constructing airstrips, roads, bridges, and bases under combat conditions. They played a key role in the island-hopping campaigns of the Pacific, building the infrastructure necessary for advancing U.S. forces. In the Battle of Guadalcanal, Seabees constructed Henderson Field, a crucial airstrip that enabled the Allies to gain air superiority. At Iwo Jima, they worked under constant enemy fire, repairing airfields to keep American planes in the fight. By the war's end, Seabees had built over 400 advanced bases and countless facilities that proved essential to victory. When the Korean War erupted in 1950, the Seabees were once again called upon to provide critical construction support. They built airstrips, roads, and supply depots in challenging environments. One of their most notable achievements was the rapid construction of an airfield at Wonsan, which played a key role in supporting Marine and Army operations. Seabees also repaired and maintained infrastructure in war-torn areas, showcasing their ability to work in extreme conditions. In Vietnam, the Seabees operated extensively, constructing bases, airstrips, hospitals, and roads while also engaging in civic action projects. They built schools, hospitals, and bridges to help local communities, winning the support of Vietnamese civilians. One of their most daring projects was the construction of Khe Sanh Combat Base, a strategic stronghold. Seabees worked under enemy fire to complete the base, enabling U.S. forces to hold their ground during the pivotal siege of Khe Sanh in 1968. Since Vietnam, Seabees have continued to play a crucial role in military and humanitarian missions worldwide. They built infrastructure in the Persian Gulf during Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm, repaired damage from hurricanes and natural disasters, and provided disaster relief in Haiti and the Philippines. In Iraq and Afghanistan, Seabees built forward operating bases, roads, and medical facilities, ensuring U.S. and allied forces had the support they needed.

Howdy! If you've landed here, then I suppose you wanna know my deep, dark secrets. Sorr-rey! I will tell you I am a U.S. Navy disabled veteran. All my duty stations in a nutshell: I started in Antarctica (Summer Support based out of Port Hueneme, California) and Christchurch, New Zealand, Hawaii, Illinois briefly for Forecast school. Then off to Iceland; spent 1 year at Bethesda Naval Hospital in a quite torturous year in physical therapy. From there I ended up as Staff Meteorologist as an E-6 (after my E-7 left and told the detailer an E-7 AG wasn't needed at that command) to an admiral in Okinawa. In between I went to the Philippines, Thailand, oh and South Korea a few times and once to Yokosuka, Japan. My final duty station was at Whidbey Island, Washington. I finished my journyeyman course there and became a Certified Journeyman Meteorologist. Still wasn't good enough for the National Weather Service, though. Oh well. And, believe it or not – I did volunteer DJ work for Armed Forces Radio in both Antarctica and in Iceland! Out of all of that, I don't have ONE good sea story for you! I spent 10 years as a weather producer making all the graphics you would see for the then startup of CNN International. All but one producer were pink slipped! Still with me?? Wow… you DO like punishment, don't you? So after another ten years of drifting around for work, I did the absolute final injury to my back and am now in a fully disabled state as far as work goes. Good thing I had that ten years at CNN International, since I missed out on retiring from the Navy. For my 65th birthday just this last May, I gave myself one helluva gift by toally blowing the quadricep tendon to my left knee! What a way to celebrate one's milestone birthday, huh? Did you doze off? No?? Well. If you want to know more, then you'll just have to ask me when I'm on-air!

Port Hueneme today is a bustling commercial hub with a major naval base on the southwestern coast of California. There was a time not so long ago when it was a beautiful, peaceful wilderness worthy of its' name -- which means resting place. Gunnar has seen the world, but there's nowhere he'd rather be than back in Hueneme. Despite the overwhelming feeling of safety, Hueneme and the islands dotting the sea just off shore are full of secrets. The locals warn of supernatural spirits and urge people to be careful. But if Hueneme is haunted, must the spirits be evil? Can spirits not love as well as hate? Can a spirit from a place as beautiful and peaceful as Hueneme truly be an evil thing?

Howdy! If you've landed here, then I suppose you wanna know my deep, dark secrets. Sorr-rey! I will tell you I am a U.S. Navy disabled veteran. All my duty stations in a nutshell: I started in Antarctica (Summer Support based out of Port Hueneme, California) and Christchurch, New Zealand, Hawaii, Illinois briefly for Forecast school. Then off to Iceland; spent 1 year at Bethesda Naval Hospital in a quite torturous year in physical therapy. From there I ended up as Staff Meteorologist as an E-6 (after my E-7 left and told the detailer an E-7 AG wasn't needed at that command) to an admiral in Okinawa. In between I went to the Philippines, Thailand, oh and South Korea a few times and once to Yokosuka, Japan. My final duty station was at Whidbey Island, Washington. I finished my journyeyman course there and became a Certified Journeyman Meteorologist. Still wasn't good enough for the National Weather Service, though. Oh well. And, believe it or not – I did volunteer DJ work for Armed Forces Radio in both Antarctica and in Iceland! Out of all of that, I don't have ONE good sea story for you! I spent 10 years as a weather producer making all the graphics you would see for the then startup of CNN International. All but one producer were pink slipped! Still with me?? Wow… you DO like punishment, don't you? So after another ten years of drifting around for work, I did the absolute final injury to my back and am now in a fully disabled state as far as work goes. Good thing I had that ten years at CNN International, since I missed out on retiring from the Navy. For my 65th birthday just this last May, I gave myself one helluva gift by toally blowing the quadricep tendon to my left knee! What a way to celebrate one's milestone birthday, huh? Did you doze off? No?? Well. If you want to know more, then you'll just have to ask me when I'm on-air!

Welcome to Air Tight 110, your ultimate source for the latest buzz in #entertainment, #music, #art, and the cannabis industry.

This landmark decision means that fairgoers 21 and older can now purchase and consume cannabis in designated areas.

Send us a Text Message.In today's episode of The Quivercast, we're thrilled to have Jeremy Ryan @jeremyryan__, a Port Hueneme pro surfer and entrepreneur, share his incredible journey with us. Jeremy's path to success wasn't without its challenges, as he faced tough times in the amateur ranks before clinching the National Title at NSSA Nationals. This victory marked a turning point for Jeremy, propelling him into the world of professional surfing where he could travel the globe, and surf perfect waves.However, Jeremy's story is more than just accolades and adventure—it's a tale of personal growth and reflection. Despite his initial embrace of localism in the surfing community, a trip to Ireland provided Jeremy with a profound revelation. Experiencing the unwelcoming side of localism firsthand, Jeremy's perspective shifted, leading him to recognize the importance of camaraderie in the surfing world. With a firm resolve to never settle for a traditional job and a deep-seated passion for surfing, Jeremy has since become a multi-business owner, allowing him the freedom to pursue his love for the sport whenever he pleases. Join us on Jeremy's inspiring journey of the pursuit of a life lived on his own terms.Check out his companies:

Late one night in the summer of 1993, an 11-year-old boy climbed into his bedroom through an open outdoor window at his house in Port Hueneme, California. And when he got into his room, he was startled to see his 4-year-old little brother just standing there, motionless. Then, before the 11 year old could even ask what was going on, the 4-year-old just raised his arm and pointed to the bedroom door that led out to the hallway, and he said, “Mommy has a band-aid on her face.” A day later, police would discover the meaning of the little boy's bizarre statement, and they would step into a crime scene that felt like it was straight out of a horror movie.For 100s more stories like these, check out our main YouTube channel just called "MrBallen" -- https://www.youtube.com/c/MrBallenIf you want to reach out to me, contact me on Instagram, Twitter or any other major social media platform, my username on all of them is @mrballenSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Death is a touchy subject. When Jews lose a loved one, and their soul is no longer with us, we recite the mourner's Kaddish and focus on the missing individual's attributes. That's because Jews recognize that the soul is a reflection of their character. Jewish ritual focuses on who that person truly was. In other words, as long as our hearts are beating we must live every day to our true calling. Rabbi Dov Muchnik of Chabad of Oxnard jumps onto Bad Jew with host, Chaz Volk, to teach us the subject that everyone dreads. Rabbi Muchnik has is no stranger to the subject of death but also emphasizes the importance of being alive now, fulfilling your mission, and living a good life. About Rabbi Dov Muchnik: Rabbi Dov Muchnik and his wife, Racheli, founded Chabad of Oxnard in 2003, where local residents and visitors can learn about and celebrate Jewish traditions in a warm and welcoming environment. Born in Brooklyn, Dov studied in rabbinical colleges in New York and Israel, and his internship included community service in the Former Soviet Union and South Africa. He was ordained by the Chief Rabbi of Israel. As spiritual leader of Chabad of Oxnard, Rabbi Dov inspires his congregants to lead lives of purpose, as enlightened by the teachings of Judaism. He and his wife host prayer services, Shabbat meals, holiday celebrations, classes, women's events, lectures, and more. Rabbi Dov and Racheli are the parents of nine children.
