While construction of the SWA hut remains paramount, Seabees also gathered to enjoy Murphy's re-enlistment ceremony April 2 at the project site.
Murphy, who has been involved in the construction of 83 SWA huts during his six-year career, took the oath of enlistment with Det. Delaram II members present. The ceremony was as traditional as possible while operating in a contingency environment, with Seabees returning to work after project crew members congratulated Murphy.
Seabees of Det. Delaram II support thousands of U.S., Department of Defense, civilian and coalition forces aboard the camp.
