    Nighttime welding

    Seaman Anthony Evangelista and Petty Officer 3rd Class Bernard Barbuto weld the frame that will support the door to a K-span building that Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 3 is building during nighttime operations here in Camp Krutke, the Seabee camp within Camp Leatherneck. The building will be used as a tool warehouse for the Seabees and will replace three tents that they have been working out of for the past two years. Because the temperature in Afghanistan is rapidly exceeding 100 F some of the large projects that the Seabees are working on are being worked in the cool of night instead of day time in order to minimize any chance of heat injuries. NMCB 3 is an expeditionary element of U.S. Naval Forces providing construction, engineering and security services in support of national strategy, naval power projection, humanitarian assistance and contingency operations.
