Recruiter vs. Reality

What the Recruiter Says

As a Seabee Construction Mechanic, you'll keep the fleet's construction and automotive equipment running — bulldozers, cranes, dump trucks, generators — anywhere the Navy builds.

What It's Actually Like

You're a heavy diesel mechanic who deploys. Seabee means Naval Construction Force: you wrench on equipment in the field, in the heat, often in austere or contingency environments, and you're still a Sailor who can be handed a rifle.
