At this time of the year the construction of a pier near the Las Plugas gate, is most likely the work of a Naval Construction Battalion (Sea Bees), or it could be the work of a Marine Reserve Engineer Company.

Remember some Marines use hammers to subdue the enemy and some Sailors are pretty damn good bulldozer operators.

Thanks for the clarification.

My step-dad was a Seabee in WW II. On Guadalcanal.

And, damn, I'm proud of him.
