About this listen

From the frozen expanse of Antarctica to the scorching sands of the Middle East, retired Navy Seabee Captain Kevin Ball lived a life few can imagine. As a Seabee, he built the impossible--airstrips, bases, and vital facilities (and sometimes he had to blow things up!). His men faced extreme elements and enemy threats. In this episode he shares stories of courage, leadership, ingenuity, and humorous nicknames he earned along the way. He gives listeners a rare glimpse into the life of a man who proved that when the Navy needs something built, nothing can stand in the way...even a wall of ice!
