Seabees Completed mission in Antigua


The Seabees arrived in Antigua with 21 Seabees and two main missions, which were to partner with Ministry of Public Works and the Rotary in completely renovating a 9,000 square foot building with new electrical, plumbing, windows, doors, restroom, shower, floor tile, and painting of both interior and exterior surfaces.

This mission was lead by SW1(SCW/EXW) Buchanan, who completed this mission on schedule. This will greatly enhance the quality of life for the patients at the hospital and produce an environment more conducive to providing medical care to them.

The second mission we had was a Subject Matter Expert Exchange(SMEE) with the Department of Public Works personnel. We provided four facilitators lead by BUC(SCW) Woolston for the SMEE which discussed topics of General Carpentry, Project planning, Electrical, Plumbing, HVAC, and General concrete/retaining wall construction.

We successfully exchanged with 11 Public Works construction men and received to outstanding feedback of how beneficial the training had been and how professional and knowledgeable the facilitators were during each two and a half hour session over a course of five days.
