Tell us Your Seabee Story

Tell us your Seabee Story

Every Seabee has a story — and every story helps preserve our shared history. Share a memory from your service, tell us about a fellow Seabee, or preserve a piece of Seabee history for future generations. Stories may include photos from deployments, training, projects, friendships, homeports, family memories and more.

You don’t have to be a writer. Tell it in your own words—we’ll take care of the rest. (Not a Seabee yourself? Family members and shipmates can help preserve a Seabee’s story, too.)

Submissions are reviewed by the Navy Seabee Foundation before publication and may be lightly edited for clarity, spelling and formatting.

Have photos but not a full story to share? Visit our Submit a Photo page instead.
