In this episode of The Carry The Load Podcast, our host Todd Boeding chats with Navy Veteran Scott Friend about his time as a Seabee - a member of the Navy's Construction Battalion. This group of skilled builders is responsible for constructing much of the infrastructure at U.S. military locations around the world, from forward operating bases (FOBs) and contingency operating bases (COBs) to bunkers, tent camps and more.

This group faces the harsh realities of front-line fire to ensure their fellow servicemen and women like Army Rangers and SEAL Team 6 not only have places to live and work, but can also enjoy some of the basic comforts of home in otherwise uncomfortable warzones.

Learn more about the work they do with their "Can do" motto, the challenges they face, and the people Seabee's like Scott carry with them every day. #CarryTheLoad #Navy #Construction #Veterans #SeaBees
