Seabees Say

All non-Seabee site visitors, please SKIP straight to the Table of Contents below, and READ AND ENJOY!... Listen up, fellow BEES! It’s your turn now! This Web site, SeabeesInfoHQ.org, is open for submissions of material for possible posting to this “Seabees Say” feature. Here’s your chance to share stories of your personal SEABEE experiences with other BEES and with the general public: Anything that illustrates what makes SEABEES unique among all the military forces. Submit your story that describes what SEABEES do in war and peace, on the jobsite, in training, or off duty.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: Submissions should be e-mailed in as message-body text sent to our special e-mail address seabeessay@seabeesinfohq.org. Each separate submission should be no more than 1,200 words. (Technical terms, military expressions, and acronyms should be explained for laymen.) Text alone is fine, but text accompanied by clear photos with captions that identify people, places, time periods, and activities are better. (Photos should be submitted as attached JPEG files, using a “coarse” scan rate of 144 dpi. Photo captions should be included in the message text, clearly indicating which caption goes with which JPEG filename.) Sorry, USPS mail, or providing submissions as links to another Web site, are not options at this time!

DISCLAIMER NOTICE: Pieces that reflect the diversity of missions, training, and work accomplished by SEABEES of all eras will be considered for inclusion on “Seabees Say.” By the act of submitting material to SeabeesInfoHQ.org you certify and warranty that the material is not copyrighted, or that you own the copyright and grant non-exclusive rights in perpetuity to reproduce (with attribution to you by name) on this Web site. You accept without recourse to SeabeesInfoHQ.org or any of its volunteers that your material might be downloaded from this Web site and reproduced elsewhere by unknown third parties. Decisions on which submissions are accepted for posting, and on editing accepted submissions as deemed appropriate by this site’s content editors, will be made solely by the volunteer editors and are final. We regret that due to the volume of submissions, they cannot be individually acknowledged. Stories selected for posting will gradually be moved to the Archive as new material is added to the main page.
