WWII CB&#039;s are our heroes! </p><p>Would you know what his civilian occupation was? The original CB&#039;s were chosen because they had construction skills. The Navy didn&#039;t train them like they do today. What ever your civilian skills were became the rate you were assigned. IE: Brick layers, masons, carpenters= Builder Utility (BU). Plumbers, boiler techs= Utilityman (UT). Automotive mechanic (myself)= Construction Mechanic (CM).</p><p>Many of the first BU&#039;s were of Italian descent with masonry skills mastered in Italy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
