Yes, Seebees are smart, resourceful and more than useful to have around but they aren’t very watchful. One of our lads stole the A/C out of the Seebees barracks at DaNang back in the 1960’s. It sure made our lounge more comfy.
Your team member must have acted quickly!
Da Nang was probably hotter and more humid than my experience sailing through Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean on The Enterprise.
Thick clouds of mosquitos everywhere after dusk. Beautiful clean water, though.
