This year’s host was Captain Blake Burket, Commanding Officer of Officer In Charge of Construction Marine Corps Marianas (OICC MCM). Captain Burket said, “OICC MCM is so proud to continue the tradition and host the celebration of the 84th Seabee Ball. It is an honor to host in our last year as we prepare to decommission this summer.”
Captain Alan Eichelman, Commanding Officer for NAVFAC Marianas, and Captain Robert Stiles, Commanding Officer of the 30th Naval Construction Regiment, are the other CEC major Commanders on Guam and brought full wardrooms to the celebration. Also in attendance was a strong contingent from the deployed Seabee battalion, NMCB-133 the “Runnin’ Roo’s”.
