Is Seabee homeport combat training similar to the Marines/Army's combat training?

Answer 1

Sort of, but a very abreaviated version. I was in the Marines and I participated in training the local Seabee companies. All of our training was condensed into 2 weeks for them (It takes us about 6 months). And while we trained them on everything that we knew it was a very condensed version (on the rifle range they fired from 25 yards, we fire from 500 yards).

Its good training, just not as detailed.

Answer 2

Seabees are officially "Constructionmen." Their primary training is on construction. Check out the website. It's the official Seabee Combat Handbook, Volumes 1 and 2.

Answer 3

I have no personal experience, but a lifelong friend and former Seabee told me all of his training paralleled Marine training. He said there were minor differences in the arms and combat training but the basic training was identical. His training took place in 1966-67 time frame.
