Navy Seabee battalion honored in decommissioning ceremony, is deactivated after 80 years of building and fighting

VIRGINIA BEACH — The “Gator Bees” of Amphibious Construction Battalion 2 have embodied the motto of Navy Seabees for nearly 80 years, building and fighting as called upon. But come March 31, the Virginia Beach-based battalion will be deactivated.

Sailors from Amphibious Construction Battalion 2 honored the unit during a decommissioning ceremony Thursday at Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek’s Chapel.

Amphibious Construction Battalion 2 was one of two unique battalions in the country. It played a major role in maritime prepositioning force operations throughout every conflict in which the U.S. has been engaged since World War II — providing support for ship-to-shore connections and installing numerous military camps.

The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.

Why would the military want such units around?  They are so 9ld school and probably unwoke as they can be.

Anyone who isn't paranoid in 2021 just isn't thinking clearly!
