Jeff Giles quoted in Navy magazine article: Being a Seabee Ain't Easy

JEFF GILES FROM ADAIR COUNTY, A SEABEE STATIONED IN IRAQ, is among those featured in the April issue of the U.S. Naval Institute magazine in the following story By David Axe. Reprinted from PROCEEDINGS with permission; Copyright 2006 U.S. Naval Institute/www.usni.org.

Whether at home or in a combat zone, naval construction battalions face daunting challenges.

"Incoming!"

The air ripples with the unsettling sound of inbound mortar rounds. At the U.S. base in Ar Ramadi in western Iraq, the Seabees of Naval Mobile Construction Battalion (NMCB) 133 dive into a concrete bunker. As the rounds explode, Chief Steelworker Michael Romero, one of the senior non-coms at the battalion's Ar Ramadi detachment, spots a Humvee with two of his Seabees inside. They hop out, looking for cover.
