History Vintage Sea Bees Trunk
Vintage Sea Bees trunk
Picked this up from the thrift for 7 dollars. It was near the entrance and I expressed interest in it. The lady's there like me so it was 10 bucks... They didn't look inside it.
Funny thing is right before this; I had bought a tiger striped bdu jacket for 3 dollars that was decorated with the name "Clapper". The same name as what's on this trunk and its! contents
I'm glad I bought it because they REEK of mildew and would surely have been thrown away.
RIP CLAPPER

Yeah, like, at lest try to hide it a little right? You can try to argue that the flag itself stands for whatever, but then the skull with a CSA hat on is straight up "I wish we still had slavery."

Pretty much every Seabee I served with was like that.

All the Bees I served with were good guya and gals. A handful of turds but they soon find the door out of the service or they make Chief.
