ROTA, Spain - Seabees of Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 74 completed an expansion to the dog kennel on Naval Station Rota, Spain, Feb 16.
This marks the first completed project for the Seabees assigned to the Main Body site during the battalion’s 2010-2011 deployment.
The space is to be used by the NAVSTA Rota security forces to board working dogs in transit to and from theater.
“Originally, there was an actual military construction project to build the [security forces] a new dog kennel area,” said Lt. Matthew Baird, Seabee project manager for Naval Facilities Public Works Rota. “Now that we were able to expand this one, they are actually getting their kennel a year or two sooner than they would have.”
As is often the case amongst crews working together on a project, hard work brings them together and challenges bring out the well-known “can-do” attitude. According to Constructionman Payton Hardy, builder, this time it was no different.
“It was tough sometimes, but overall it was a really good learning experience,” said Hardy. “We were like a little family and worked really well together.”
Baird says he has been happy working with NMCB 74 thus far, and has plans for many more projects for them in the coming months.
“They’ve been very responsible and very eager to get some work in the ground, so that’s good since we’ve had a backlog of projects we’re trying to feed to the battalion to keep them busy,” said Baird. “It’s nice to see a lot of work getting done by them. I’ve had nothing but good experiences working with NMCB 74."
