If you would like the CAT to come to your state for a movie appearance please let them know so they can put you on their schedule. Scheduling will be first come, first serve priority.The team has also begun a mentoring program called “Scream” with local teenagers. The Seabees will teach construction techniques to help the teenagers gain experience before they build a haunted house for Halloween. BU3 Ismael Rodriguez said, “This is going to be a great opportunity for me to help local teenagers and teach them some wood working techniques. I am hopeful the teenagers will learn from this experience and continue on a path of success.”Lastly, the CAT was asked to build new benches for the Airai Elementary School. The benches were built primarily by the apprentices with the assistance of BU3 Rodriguez and EO3 Daniel Reardon. EO3 Reardon said, “This was an excellent COMREL project for the apprentices to use the skills that they have learned from the builders.”For movies: 587-1311 ext 91.
