Welcome!

NMCB3 Home Base, Port Hueneme, California.

After completing "A" school at Port Hueneme, then serving for a year at Adak Alaska, I returned to Port Hueneme and joined NMCB3 in 1966. Over the years I never gave much thought to the photos tucked away in boxes until I came across the NMCB3 web site. I originally put together about twenty photos for my children. I was surprised when our children, (grown now with children of their own) actually had an interest. In addition to my personal photos I have included pages from the MCB3 Tour Book. I have broken the Tour Book pages down into sections with Command as the first section. Listed at the bottom of the Command section are the links to the remainder of the sections: Company, Photos, Military Training Photos, Advance Party Photos.The new Seabee Museum under construction at Port Hueneme,CA has been completed. It is a 35,000 square foot building with more than 20,000 square feet of exhibits. One of the efforts to raise additional funds is through the sale of memorial bricks. I am proud to say I have purchase mine. Now that the museum has opened I am not sure if the bricks are still available. You can check my link below under "NEW SEABEE MUSEUM" for information.Please take time to visit my "Favorite Sites", especially the link to "A Tribute to Lance Corporal, Chance Phelps." I would highly recommend you also rent the movie. It is very moving how we support our military today.

Veterans Administration Agent Orange Information

Agent Orange Distribution System

If you served with NMCB3 at Chu Lai and/or during the time period described on the Veterans Administrations web-site and have not had an Agent Orange Physical, you need to go to the VA Today!
It is important not only for you, but your family. If like me you remember looking up and seeing these guys coming and going and in the air when you were away from our base then you need to get checked. There are protections available for your family when and if you should come down with any one of the medical problems associated with Agent Orange and it is a long list.
