Renovating
Navy
Hospital Portsmouth |
|
|
The
Challenge was to renovate the Navy's first hospital,
one originally built in 1827 and once used to treat
the sailors wounded in the first clash of Civil War
ironclads. Here's how modern engineers painted upgraded
capability on a very old canvas -- and what unsolved
mysteries they found along the way. |

Introducing

at one of the most challenging times in our Nation's
history. |

conversation. |

Art of
Military Housing |

family communities of the future. |

The
Hangar
Gets Suspenders |
|
|
The
Brunswick P-3 hangar needed to have new roof trusses before
the next snow load occurred. Before that could happen,
aircraft maintenance schedules had to be juggled, and
off-road crane was delivered and assembled -- and a freash
infusion of budget was required. |

For
45 days rebuilding a tired runway -- days at a stretch
hobbled by poor weather -- the ROICC at Aviano, Italy
could only say "Dig we must." |

This
year, the world itself was a stage for the celebration
of the NAVFAC, CEC, and Seabee anniversaries. From Dinner
Dress Blues at the hq gala near the Pentagon to tan Desert
Utility Uniforms at Camp Moreell, Kuwait, CECs and the
Seabees paused for some fun. |
