Spiritual Minded Military Colorado Navy Reserve: Why Do Reserve Seabees Build Piers in Hostile Waters? The Construction Protocol

The Navy's Builders in Uniform: Who Are the Reserve Seabees?

The Seabees are the Navy's construction force. Their motto is "We Build, We Fight." They build piers, runways, and bases in hostile environments. They fight alongside the Marines and Sailors they support.

The Reserve Seabees are part-time builders with full-time commitment. They drill one weekend per month. They deploy when the mission demands. They operate in the most dangerous waters on earth.

The Reserve Seabees are not civilians with tools. They are warfighters with construction skills. They are trained to build under fire. They are trained to defend what they build. They are trained to be self-sufficient in hostile territory.

Your Spiritual Minded Military Shirt declares that you are a builder. The builder is a fighter. The fighter is the Remnant.

Why a Single Pier Can Change the Outcome of a Mission

The Seabees build the infrastructure that wins wars.

A pier allows ships to offload supplies. A runway allows aircraft to land. A base allows forces to stage operations. Without the Seabees, the Navy cannot project power. Without the Seabees, the Marines cannot sustain operations. Without the Seabees, the mission fails.

In World War II, Seabees built 300 airstrips and 400 piers. In Vietnam, Seabees built roads and bases. In Iraq and Afghanistan, Seabees built forward operating bases. In the Pacific, Seabees are preparing for the next conflict.

The Reserve Seabees carry this legacy. They build the infrastructure that makes victory possible. They build in places where no one else can build.

Your Soldier for Christ Field Armor protects you from the enemy. The enemy is not on the construction site. The enemy is in danger. The armor protects you while you build.

Building While Under Threat: The Reality of Hostile-Water Construction

The Reserve Seabee does not build in a safe environment. The Reserve Seabee builds in the most dangerous places on earth.

The danger is constant. The enemy attacks. The sniper fires. The mortar lands. The construction must continue. The Seabee must build while fighting. The Seabee must fight while building.

The environment is hostile. The water is treacherous. The weather is extreme. The terrain is unforgiving. The Seabee must adapt. The Seabee must overcome. The Seabee must complete the mission.

The Seabee is a target. The enemy knows the pier is essential. The enemy knows the runway is essential. The enemy targets the builders. The Seabee must defend what they build.

Your Be Sober Minded Shirt carries the Scripture "Be sober, be vigilant." The vigilance extends to the danger. The vigilance protects the builder.

The Construction Protocol That Turns Empty Shorelines Into Military Lifelines

The Construction Protocol is NOT a suggestion! The construction protocol is what distinguishes a mission from success from a mission from failure.

Mission Planning and Site Selection. A survey of the site is required by the Seabee. The Seabee needs to determine the threat. The Seabee is responsible for the planning of the construction. The planning needs to be unambiguous. Planning must be done quickly.

Faster Construction in Tight Timeframes. The Seabee needs to construct quickly. The Seabee should be strongly built. The Seabee will be constructed in the face of fire. The speed should not be sacrificed in the interest of quality. The quality should not affect the speed.

Operating Security. The Seabee task is to defend the site. The Seabee is responsible for defending the equipment. It is the Seabee's responsibility to protect the team. Security is not optional. Security is the mission.

One scoop of Cellular Hydrate – Electrolyte Formula every morning replenishes what the construction steals. Spiritual Minded Nutrition Creatine Monohydrate supports the strength and endurance required for the build. The body that is fueled builds faster.

The Skills Every Reserve Seabee Must Master Before Deployment

A builder is the Reserve Seabee. It takes a fighter to be the Reserve Seabee. It is essential that the Reserve Seabee be a leader.

• Construction skills: The Seabee needs to be familiar with the equipment. The Seabee should be familiar with the materials. It's a technique the Seabee should learn. The Seabee has to construct anything, anywhere.
• Combat skills: The Seabee needs to be familiar with the weapons. The Seabee should be familiar with the tactics. The Seabee needs to be familiar with the defense. The Seabee has to do some fighting too while building.
• Leadership skills: The Seabee needs to be the leader of the team. The mission requires the Seabee to have to deal with the management of the mission. The Seabee gets a lot of pressure to make decisions.

Strength Beyond Steel: The Mental and Spiritual Edge of Mission-Ready Builders

The Seabee constructs using steel. The Seabee is a fighter of steel. The steel is insufficient.

The Seabee must have mental toughness. There is never a quiet moment. The stress is real. The mind has to be tough. It takes attention to concentrate. The mission needs to be fulfilled by the mind.

The Seabee has a need for spiritual strength. The enemy attacks the spirit. The spirit is attacked by the fear. The doubt strikes at the heart. The spirit has to persevere. The spirit must have faith. The "spirit" has to fulfill the mission.

The steel is not the weapon. The most important part is the steel. The weapon is the mental and spiritual edge.

What Colorado Navy Reservists Can Learn From the Seabee Construction Mindset

The Colorado Navy reservist can be a Seabee. The Seabee can still be a role model for the Colorado Navy reservist.

Build under pressure: The Seabee constructs while on fire. The Reservist performs under stress. The pressure is on, the pressure is on. If you're being pressured, it is not an excuse.

Fight while building: The Seabee's battle while building. As a Reservist, the fight is for service. Service is the mission. The battle is the mission.

Complete the mission: The Seabee finishes the job. The Reservist finishes the service. The win comes when it's finished.

Your Spiritual Minded Military Shirt declares that you are a builder and a fighter. The builder-fighter is the Remnant.

Conclusion: 

The Reserve Seabees are sent into the world's most dangerous waters. They construct the means of victory in wars. As they construct, they fight. The mission is finished.

The roadmap is the Construction Protocol. Plan the mission. Build under pressure. Maintain security. Master the skills. Embrace and fortify the mind and spirit.

The Colorado Navy Reservist who follows the procedure will not be a "sailor in name only. He'll be a builder. He will be a real fighter. He will be the Remnant.

The choice is yours. The enemy is the danger. The protocol is the weapon.

"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, and I have kept the faith." — 2 Timothy 4:7

The Remnant does not transition. The Remnant re-enlists.
