Other Memories Following five weeks of training at Camp Lejeune in March and April 1963, NMCB ONE again sailed for Guantanamo Bay on July 10. The Battalion had projects at both Windward and Leeward Points. At Leeward Point, the projects included new ground support equipment buildings, an aviation gas refueler compound, a new squadron line maintenance building, a new crash-crew facility, and a new perimeter road and fence. At Windward Point the Seabees installed telephone cables and water mains, and built curbs and paved roads. The Battalion finished up its ninth "Gitmo" deployment on March 12, 1964, and returned to Davisville.
