Last week, NMCB 7 relieved NMCB 3 in Iraq:
AR RAMADI, Iraq (NNS) — Naval Mobile Construction Battalion (NMCB) 7 relieved NMCB 3 at a brief ceremony held Oct. 16.
The transfer of authority (TOA) ceremony marked the end of NMCB 3′s six-month deployment to Iraq and Afghanistan and the start of NMCB 7′s deployment.
They have some hard work ahead of them, but I know they will do well. Seabees are a tough bunch whose motto is, “We build, we fight.”
Not to mention, NMCB 7 is commanded by our (me and LT COL P, that is) BR, CDR John Adametz.
NMCB 7′s Commanding Officer, Cmdr. John Adametz, spoke about the challenges ahead for NMCB 7 while also thanking NMCB 3 for all their hard work.
“Thank you so much for all the hard work you have done to ensure this transition went as smoothly as possible,” said Adametz. “To the Seabees of NMCB 7, it’s time to go to work. We’ve trained hard [in] homeport to prepare us for the challenges ahead. Our main goal is to stay safe and succeed magnificently.”
Good luck John. We will keep you and your sailors in our thoughts and prayers.
GO GET ‘EM BR!!!
