Some 40 business/community leaders from Leadership Gulf Coast (LGC) visited Naval Construction Battalion Center (NCBC) Gulfport, Miss., on Oct. 20 as part of their tour of military and port facilities in the local region. While at NCBC, the leaders were briefed by base XO Cmdr. Weurielus Johnson. Afterward, they toured a battalion maintenance facilities and technical trainer sites, where Navy Seabees, and service members from the Army and Air Force, receive in-depth training on construction-related skills. Later that day, they the Port of Gulfport, Keesler Air Force Base in Biloxi, and the Combat Readiness Training Center at the Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport. All of which provided an opportunity to gain a better understanding of the missions of each and how they impact the local Mississippi Gulf Coast. LGC, a Mississippi Gulf Coast Chamber of Commerce-affiliated program, is designed to teach business and community leaders from around the Mississippi Gulf Coast about the opportunities and challenges in their local community and to create a communication network dedicated to the improvement of the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
