SUMMARY OF THE VIDEO
Hello, Dear Ones, It’s Alice.
I met someone on the astral plane some time ago. They had a terrible tragedy in their childhood. Now you may be thinking: Maybe it’s me! … But if you are thinking that, it is probably not you.
This person had a terrible tragedy in their childhood, and they lost everyone in their family. And when that happened, in their deep subconscious mind, they said to themselves: I have nobody.
The force of this tragedy was so strong that one of their body elementals assimilated this emotion and this thought form in such a way that it became the premise of their life. Further, the situation was so traumatic that they did not remember it.
In this person’s astral interactions, the body elemental is always coming forth with this message: I have nobody. I need somebody.
In cognitive processes, this is being translated very literally, as being that they have no body. They need some body. And so, their astral form is going out and trying to grab other people’s bodies because it thinks (is brainwashed into so thinking by the body elemental that represents the childhood trauma, actually) it has no body of its own. This is what is happening.
Actually, it is the body elemental that says that sentence on the astral plane; it is like a preprogramming. It has an intelligence, but it does not have the ability to reprogram itself. So what needs to happen, is for the body elemental that has taken on the essence of the terrible tragedy to get new programming. We ourselves have to do that.
Generally speaking, with body elementals, the thing to do is to program them with something fun, because fun creates its own payback, or feedback loop. The minute that the body elemental says something fun, the person … the Spirit within … wants to repeat it. It does not really want all that tragic stuff.
So I came up with something: When that person, on the astral plane, comes to me and says: I need some body … Then I say: You are somebody. You have four body vehicles. Then the body elemental goes back to its person, and reports back to them. Every time it comes over my way with:I have no body. I need somebody … I send it back again with the same message.
As a third party, I can try to reprogram the body elemental. But it’s really up to the Soul and Spirit and ego and mind of the other person to decide whether or not they want to use that. So, if their Spirit approves, then this reprogramming of the body elemental will take place. And the Spirit will no longer go forth seeking others, when, in fact, all that it needs and all that it is, is right within its own heart.
In love, light and joy
This is Alice B. Clagett.

SUMMARY OF THE VIDEO
Hello, Dear Ones, It’s Alice.
I have three unrelated facts for you just now. Let’s see if I can remember them.
How to Avoid or Cancel Deals with the Devil
On Getting into Demonic Contracts by Mistake. The first one has to do with devils and demons and stuff like that. And what I have to say is this:
If you happen to find yourself in the questionable position of speaking with them, always know that no matter how reasonable their suggestion sounds, it is very important not to agree …because, through a work-around of the logical mind, they assume that, if you agree with them on any reasonable suggestion, then you have ‘bought into’ their realm.
The Solution. If, by chance, you do buy in … say, in a moment of sleepiness … then the only thing you have to do is to say …
Spirit to Team! I cancel, annul, and tear up all contracts! For the All, through Free Will!
Just do that whenever there is a little slip-up in that regard, and that will keep you free and clear of all those tricky word plays that they use to attempt to influence the human race. That is the first suggestion.
On Avoiding Being Mind-Controlled by the Demon Realm. The second thing has to do with the way that they manage to create images and sounds in our minds … in other words, their way of logging onto our natural, God-given telepathic processes.
In the big post I did recently with three videos on demonry …
Link: “Bidding Our Demons Goodbye Video Series,” by Alice B. Clagett, published on 8 April 2015; revised … https://wp.me/p2Rkym-34a ..
… I have discussed how they have a technology for glomming together the tiny, axiatonal lines of the etheric net (which is one of our subtle bodies).
This thing that they do, interfering with telepathy, and logging onto telepathy, is like that.
They create in the etheric net a short circuit (as is often the case). They change the arc of energy there so that, inside of the mind, inside of the brain there is one spot … [points to left side of temple, above eye] … and on the other side (up a little, I think) … [points a little higher up, on the right side of the temple] … there is another spot … and they manage to arc the energy forward towards the front of the forehead … [points to a spot between the eyebrows] … where many people mistakenly think the third-eye point is.
So from the left side of the head … [points once more to left side of temple, above eye] … arcing around in front of the head … [traces with her finger a line across the forehead] … and back to that other side … [once more points a little higher up, on the right side of the temple].
And that is how they create the illusion that they are speaking with us, and that we are being mind controlled. It creates the illusion of object-based reality that is so opposite the law of love.
The Solution.The solution for that is to feel the third-eye point where it really is (which is in the center of the head. The pituitary gland is at the level of the eyebrows, but located in the center of the head. The pineal gland is at about mid-forehead level (what some people think of as the third-eye point), but also located in the center of the head.
There is a V-shaped energy that goes from the point on the face between the eyebrows, and from the center of the forehead, to the center of the head, where the pituitary gland and the pineal gland are.
Enough biology! The point here is: When you use your telepathy, make the point of your Awareness the very center of your mind. Do not push it forward, into the telepathic realm that carries us into the notion of being mind controlled. That is a mental filter, and an illusion, that we can project energy out of our minds … [moves finger forward from middle of forehead, towards the viewer] … and into the third-eye point of another person, and penetrate into their minds. These are nothing but illusions.
The power of the third-eye point, and the mastery of self … the mastery of the mind has to do with this point deep inside the brain. So feel the very center of your mind. Place your Awareness there. And that way you will be beyond Satan’s grasp … beyond the grasp of the demon world. They cannot play with you, with regard to false sensory identification. They cannot create that object-based reality that is so untrue, so opposite the law of love.
A Story About the Sylph I got at Baptism
That was point number 2. And now I have a story for you that I told, in part, before. And this has to do with a friend of mine in the realm of the nature spirits. It is a sylph that I know! And long ago it manifested as a fiery white cross on my back.
These sylphs, they say, are paired with human beings that are baptized in Jesus Christ. I have no doubt but what there are other sylphs that specialize in other religious paths, and other spiritual paths.
But when I was born … shortly thereafter … my parents took me for baptism in a Christian church. And at that moment … as I read later … my sylph and I became one. It became my partner in spirituality throughout my life.
I had forgotten about that! And then one day … I do not know why! … I was listening to the most beautiful religious music in a spirit-filled Christian church, and suddenly my sylph manifested as a brilliant, white, fiery cross on my back, in the place where the back funnel of the heart chakra is …

Clagett, 15 August 2013, CC BY-SA 4.0, from “Awakening with Planet Earth,” https://awakeningwithplanetearth.com … DESCRIPTION: There is the silhouette of a man, facing forward. In the area of his heart is a fiery cross.

DESCRIPTION: There is the silhouette of a man, facing forward. In the area of his heart is a fiery cross.
When it manifested, a river … an ocean … of cosmic love poured forth from the front of my heart … poured forth from the front of my heart every time that I was around other people … And when I would bless the waters, and walk in the woods it would happen.
Now … Why do sylphs pair with humans? They do this so that humans can reach a level of Spirit where, by sensing the heart, and feeling the heart, and opening it completely.
It is a beneficial partnership for both, because the sylph itself, while helping the human to perfect his or her energy of the heart, also perfects its own spiritual path. And such a sylph becomes transformed to a seraph, one of the highest orders of angels; it joins the seraphim.
There is that story.
On Thoth and the Emerald Tablets: The Angle, the Cross, the Circle, and the Vortex
I got to thinking today about this question that Thoth brings up, in “The Emerald Tablets” …
… about these symbols: the angle, the cross, the circle and the vortex ... a question also discussed here …
Link: “The Emerald Tablets of Thoth: The Cross and the Circle,” by Alice B. Clagett, published on 26 March 2015; revised … https://wp.me/p2Rkym-58v ..
It is a very deep metaphor, that of the cross and the circle, and I got to thinking about this question. Another meaning of that symbolism is that the sylph … the fiery cross … perfects the circle of the heart. Is that not cool? Very cool!
In a deep subconscious context, the cross bars a predator such as a snake from entering the underground home of a small mammal such as a pack rat. In the early human context, the cross might represent a barrier at the mouth of a human clan’s cave; the barrier, perhaps of logs in the form of a cross, might prevent a cave bear or sabre tooth tiger from
In another context … in the context of the geography of the mind in the world, the angles in the cross represent logical or left-brain thought, and the circles represent right-brain thought, and vortical motion represents the movement of the blood through the body and the escape of the human from this trap of this world of time and space, from the world of Duality.
So the sylph; the training of the left brain, and the understanding of its limitations; and the love of the natural world for our own hearts … those things all come together to transform us to the highest that we really are.

SALIVA: NONCOHERENT AND COHERENT, DISORDERED AND ORDERED
CANCER AND PHYSICAL HEALTH: BODY CELLS DISORDERED OR ORDERED
Healing through Affirmations of Love for Ailing Body Parts
Dear Ones,
EMERALD TABLETS OF THOTH ON DARKNESS AND LIGHT, DISORDER AND ORDER
In “The Emerald Tablets of Thoth the Atlantean,” there is a short paragraph (beginning “Darkness and Light”) that explains about Darkness and Light. I would print the entire paragraph here if copyright law permitted it, as every word is of the utmost importance. To read the passage, click on this link:
Basically, according to the ancient wisdom of Thoth, the All (which contains everything that exists) comprises what may appear to be Dark, and what may appear to be Light. The first represents disorder, a quality opposite that of the second.
SALIVA: NONCOHERENT AND COHERENT, DISORDERED AND ORDERED
I found interesting corroboration of this through the HeartMath Institute, which offers a photo of the saliva of a person ‘not coherent’ and a photo of saliva that is ‘coherent’:
The above picture shows how normal saliva is disordered … in darkness, in 3D … in the Earthly dimension that is now being transformed by the process described by Thoth in the above-cited paragraph.
When love flows into the Dark, the disorder becomes orderly. Just as, when a person meditates on love … even for as little as 5 minutes … his body is transformed to a state of order, and the water in the body is organized into the crystal code shown in the second picture of saliva:
This is the state of Light, of love, of the 5th dimension into which Earth is transforming. And we her children are transforming along with her.
CANCER AND PHYSICAL HEALTH: BODY CELLS DISORDERED OR ORDERED
Cancer in the human body is the result of lack of self-love, lack of love of the body cells … and most often, lack of love for a specific organ or organ system, as expressed by our own subconscious negspeak (which is often expressed as a metaphor that the subconscious mind interprets in a negative way with regard to a specific body part), for example: If you touch your penis like that, you will go blind! [affects eyes and penis] … Your love like a cancer grows [affect the physical heart] … You are one big boobie! [affects the breasts] … I curse your loins [affects male sexual organs] … May your womb be cursed [affects female sexual organs] … and other negspeak that targets a specific body part.
This negspeak is not so often spoken, but rather seems to me to circulate in the deep subconscious minds of people, through the circulating movement of the Subconscious Thought Cloud of the World. Some of it may have to do with ancient curses and negspeak or malspeak accruing from the tribal and clan times of human prehistory. Or it might be to do with the negspeak of indigenous cults or black magic and shamanic practices amongst peoples of current day developing countries worldwide.
The result is disorder in that organ or organ system, similar to the disorder shown in the first saliva photograph above.
Healing through Affirmations of Love for Ailing Body Parts
Affirmations of love with regard to an ailing body part can help the healing process, by introducing orderliness into the dis-order of the dis-ease that is being felt, similar to the order portrayed in the second photo of the saliva, shown above.
In love, light and joy

Dear Ones,
NOOSPHERIC DISSONANCE DURING SOLAR STORMS
Lack of compassion! …
Raiding other folks’ auras to ‘gain access to their spaceships’ …
Inserting other folks’ Soul fragments containing Soul qualities considered undesirable into the Soul field of a person ‘outside’ one’s group …
Sabotaging women’s energy fields so they cannot compete with men …
Reprogramming other people’s gut brains to negative energy while they sleep, so as to satiate the primitive drives of roving male astral groups …
Good Lord, dudes! Where is all that at?
What is this ‘group’ mental filter? This ‘I can do anything to you if you are not a member of my group’ thing?
This‘you are my car’… ‘you are my valise’ concept that men have about women? This ‘I will get in that car and drive her’ thing?

What is this ‘I’ve got the money, you have got none’ thing?
Where is that user manual for folks who arrived on an unconditional love planet with a desire not to experience compassion. not to have empathy …
I do not know, but I have heard it said by spiritual counselor Jeffrey Allen … https://www.iamjeffreyallen.com/ … that anything I find inside my aura is mine to reprogram…. advice that I have used very successfully with ‘endlessly looping tape player’ implants from the ‘you know what’ realm …
Vision of a Person ‘Picking My Brain’ (Which Is a Subconscious Metaphor)
So this morning when I woke up with a man’s astral head inserted inside my astral head … which took the term ‘picking her brain’ to a whole new level … and when I found he was determined not to exit this undignified position, I asked my Ascension team what to do …
His astral form was butting about inside my head hollering to get out. Said I was a spaceship docking station. Said he had to contact my spaceship. He wanted to control my spaceship. There might be money in it.
So I went to my meditation room and sat, and spoke this activation of light …

Spirit to Team! Regeneration chamber for this entity,

. . . . .
Vision of a Person ‘Picking My Brain’ (continued)
So then, as I sat, I could feel this person’s astral form bumping and hollering along, slowly passing down from my head, through my pranic column, and exiting … you guessed it! … that portion of my anatomy at the bottom of the physical form.
Dudes! Here is the deal. A lot of really weird things happen to the mental mind during solar events. We have been having M class flares, and one X class flare all week. So the unexpectable, in terms of perception by the physical senses, is to be expected…. Case in point, what happened this morning.
NOTIONS ABOUT NOOSPHERIC CONSONANCE
Just to set the record straight …
EVERY HUMAN BEING is a docking station.
EVERY HUMAN BEING has lots of spaceships helping it out.
NO PHYSICAL OR ASTRAL ENERGY can board or commandeer a spaceship.
SPACESHIPS HAVE A MIND OF THEIR OWN. They are their own great selves. So if you board them, you are in them. If you get what I mean. And you cannot board them without refining your awareness to 5D or higher. This is because the spaceships themselves are 5D or higher.
EVERY HUMAN BEING has an Ascension Team of 5000 … and this includes Spaceship Beings … ready and willing to assist with Ascension. Through your Team you will access your true power as a human being.
So call upon your Team … Make it several times a day. Develop a relationship. The most rewarding relationship of your physical existence on Earth is going to be your relationship with your Ascension Team. This I guarantee you to be true. Go ahead and give it a test drive.
Cognitive Dissonance Regarding Personal Power
You are not that powerless dude …
Who has to raid other people for money …
Who has to enslave women …
Who needs to own a harem …
Who needs to subjugate and eliminate other men …
Who will have a shipwreck if he feels his heart …
Perfectly Empowered You
You exist in the power and majesty of your own eternally shining, eternally bright Soul. All the rest is fiction.
In love, light and joy

VIDEO BY ALICE
OUTLINE OF THE VIDEO
Pencils! Oh no! The Story of the Consternational Pencil
Story about my father, who was an architect, his drafting table, and the horrifying story he told me about the dangers of having No. 2 pencils that are sharpened at both ends so as to save time in drafting
The Rules of Life
How I tried to formulate the Rules of Life and the Laws of the Universe in early childhood
Sleep Is a Dangerous Thing!
How my father’s pencil story resulted in this rule: It’s dangerous to fall asleep. Maybe it would be better to stay awake all the time, or I might die!
Pencils Are Dangerous!
This rule proved to be false in a physical sense (although I found it useful in the context of seeking enlightenment. So then I formulated this rule: Pencils are dangerous! This sunk into my subconscious mind permanently. Even today, I prefer pens to pencils.
Subconscious Conclusions That Do Not Suit Us Well
This is an example of how rules that don’t fit the facts of life can sink into our subconscious minds and vital bodies and influence us all our lives. So, I’m on a quest to find those rules and change them a little, so that my life becomes more flowing, more in the Now, and more happy. So that it doesn’t get stuck in those little childhood traumas.
An Awful War Story
Another story my dad told me during my early years: His awful World War II war story: He was in the CBs, and was in charge of a barge used to haul supplies into the beach at Normandy. Everyone he served with died, over the course of his service, except for himself.
Now, in my majority, I wonder how deeply his Soul might have been wounded by this experience; although he was a loving father and a good teacher about life. If the pencil story, which involved just one death, had such an influence on me, I wonder how that terrible wartime catastrophe affected my father’s life.
What are the consequences of war on the families that veterans go back to? I think it’s far more far-reaching than we suppose.
The Measure of Manhood
Amongst young men, there’s a great emphasis on size of sexual organs. That not-too-important thing has a tendency to stick in their subconscious minds throughout their lives, because there’s such an identification with that act of manhood.
It would be easy for me to say it’s not that important; but the problem is, for them, it might be super important.
Reprogramming the Subconscious Mind with Pictures
The subconscious mind and the vital body are greatly influenced by pictures. You could talk to it all day long, and that wouldn’t make as much difference as just one picture.
So I thought, why not … if there’s an issue that’s coming up in our subconscious mind and our vital body, such as the pencil … or maybe the size of one’s sexual organs, if you’re a man … why not do an internet search, and get some pictures, and re-evaluate the situation: It could be that most people are pretty much the same. This might have a far greater effect on self-assurance than any other approach.
Because we’re not really dealing with the rational mind here. We’re trying to reprogram the subconscious mind and the vital body, which are like a little child, no matter how old we get.
The Measure of Womanhood
You could say, about women, that the size of our breasts is a major issue in the society of today. But, there are plenty of supermodels that are small breasted. It’s not such a big deal, when you come right down to it.
So, for ladies that have an issue about size, you could do something like that: Print out pictures of ladies that are famous and beautiful, who are also small breasted (or large breasted, or whatever the problem is regarding our own self-esteem).
SUMMARY OF THE VIDEO
Hello, Dear Ones, It’s Alice.
Pencils! Oh No! Alice’s Story of the Consternational Pencil
Look at this, there is a ray of light coming out of the clouds here. [Shows ray of light coming from dark clouds] … There are grey clouds all around; and here the Sun is sending its beautiful rays down towards the Earth. It is right pretty.
I thought I would talk for a little while today about pencils and other entirely commotional things. So I will start with pencils … My father was an architect. And when I was very small … five or six years old … I was very interested in what he did, because I liked drawing. And so at night, he would come home with a project that was not finished, and he would be working at his drawing board, in a spare room, finishing up his architectural projects.
And for that, he would use a drafting board. A drafting board is sort of like a table, except that it is set up at an angle, so that it is easy to draw. And you sit up on a high stool, and you do your drafting. And so, I would follow him into this room, and try to interpret the drawings he did … the architectural drawings.
He had a pencil drawer in the table … in the easel … and in it he his pencils for drawing. I was very interested in that drawer also. And so I opened the drawer, and I pulled out a pencil … a No. 2 pencil that was sharpened at both ends. This was just as a young child.
The reason it was sharpened at both ends was that it would save the architects time. So the pencil would get a little bit worn down, and then they would just flip it around, and use the other side. And then when they went to sharpen it, they would sharpen both sides. So it was twice as fast, or nearly so.
So I picked up this twice-sharpened pencil, and he grabbed it out of my hands. And he told me a story about a young man at the architectural place where my dad worked, who, like my dad, had a family. And this young man had stayed there late one night … recent to the story, apparently … and had fallen asleep while drawing. And he slumped over the table, and hit the pencil. And the pencil pierced his heart and killed him, just like that.
Well, needless to say, I was horrified. My mouth fell open. And I said something like this: Are you sure he was dead?
And he did not say anything. He just took the pencil away from me, and started working. And I had plenty of time, in my young childhood imagination, and during that formative time, when I was trying to figure out the Rules of Life, and I was trying to set the example for myself of the rest of my life … I was making Rules …
Alice’s Story: The Rules of Life
I was thinking about this horrifying experience that my father had shared with me … Oh, it is going to start raining. Ok, to be continued in a minute. I will talk to you all in just a second. [walks from cemetery to an old, one-room country church, which is locked up, and sits on the small, roofed porch] …
Well, so this big storm cloud has blown up, and it is, for sure, going to rain in a minute or two. So I am seeking shelter in a little church. And right here on the porch I am hoping to weather the storm. I hope that the rain is not too driving. We will see what happens. Oh, goodness!
So, we were talking about this pencil. And I was formulating plans for my life, because at that age I did not have many plans, and I knew I had to have some. I was trying to figure out the laws of the Universe.
Alice’s Story: Sleep is a Dangerous Thing?
So the first thing I thought about this terrible incident, was that, it could be that it was dangerous to fall asleep … Maybe I had better just stay awake all the time, or I might die … That proved to be short-lived, and not too practical. [laughs]
Alice’s Story: Pencils Are Dangerous!
So then I reformulated the plan, and I decided that the problem was pencils … Pencils were dangerous! [laughs] And this sunk into my subconscious mind … my vital body … at that early, impressionable age. And I have to say that, even today, I do not like pencils. I really do not! … sharpened or not sharpened! Any kind of pencil, mechanical or regular … I do not care. I do not care for pencils. And so I do not have any pencils around, to speak of … lots of pens, but no pencils. [laughs]
Subconscious Conclusions that Do Not Suit Us Well
And so, this is an example of how we can formulate plans or come to conclusions, in early childhood, and through our vital body and subconscious mind … or all during life, for that matter … that may not fit the facts, or suit us too well. You know? I mean, pencils are ok, when they are used properly, do you not think?
But I cannot help it: I just do not like pencils. I mean, I could probably work it out, but it is not as important as some other things, right? Right now, it is low priority.
I have to figure that there are a lot of other things that I learned during my childhood … and all during my life … that are not serving me well. And I am on a quest, right now, to find those things and change them a little bit, so that my life becomes more flowing, more fluid, more ‘in the Now’, and more happy. So that it does not get stuck in those little, childhood traumas, and in those adulthood traumas.
My Dad’s Awful War Story
So that is the first story in the story of the consternational troubles. [laughs] And the second story has to do with another thing that my father told me when I was young.
I was just a few years older. And he had been in World War II … and apparently had a very traumatic experience there. So he told me about how he was in the Seabees … That is the the Naval Construction Force (NCF) of the United States Navy. And he had been on one of the barges that they used to haul supplies into Normandy Beach. He was the person that was supposed to be in charge of that barge.
And there were maybe … I forget how many … 50 people? … that were working on the barge, right? And over the course of the Normandy invasion on D-Day, everyone on the boat died but he. (2) And that is all he ever told me about it. But in my majority … in my adulthood … I have to wonder how that affected his subconscious mind.
Men are supposed to ‘buck up’, you know, and see their way through all these sorts of difficulties. But if the pencil incident … which involved just one death … had that much of an influence on me, I wonder how that terrible catastrophy in his life affected him.
I have to wonder about the results of war on men, and consequently, on the families that they go back to. I think it is far more far-reaching than we suppose … And that is consternational incident number 2.
The Measure of Manhood
I thought I would close with a final incident that does not affect me directly in this lifetime, as you will soon find out. But I have run across it amongst children, and sometimes adults. And that has to do with manhood amongst men and young boys. I am not sure why it is … peer pressure, I guess … but amongst young men there is a great emphasis on size of sexual organs.
And I think that, for youngsters, that not-too-important thing has a tendency to stick in their subconscious minds and their vital bodies, because there is such a role identification with that act of manhood. It would be easy for me to say it is not too important, but the problem is: For them it might be super important.
Reprogramming the Subconscious Mind with Images
So I had a notion that, since the vital body and the subconscious mind are so influenced by pictures and images … much more so than by words: You could talk to them all day long, and it would not make as much difference as just one picture. So I thought: Why not … if there is an issue that keeps coming up in our subconscious mind, such as the issue of the pencil … or maybe it would be the size of one’s sexual organs, if you are a man … Why not just do an internet search, and get a bunch of pictures that show different sizes, and print them out …
And you may find that it is not such an issue as you thought. It could be that most people are pretty much the same, you know? But the pictures printed out, and looked at, once a day, for a little while, I think will have a far greater in improving self-assurance, than anything else.
Because we are not really dealing with the rational mind here. We are trying to reprogram the subconscious mind and the vital body, which are like little children. No matter how old we get, that is just what they are like. [laughs] Anyway, those are a few thoughts that I have.
The Measure of Womanhood
You could say the same thing about women. You could say: The size of our breasts, for instance, is kind of major in the society today. But there are plenty of supermodels that are small-breasted. It is not such a big deal, when you come right down to it.
So for ladies that have an issue about size, you could do something like that: Print out a bunch of pictures of ladies who are famous and beautiful, who are small-breasted … or whatever the problem is, about us. You know? We may find other people … just pictures of other people that are highly successful and very creative and very happy in the world, who have similar features to us, physically.
Conclusion
And that is it, on the terrible, horrible, consternational problems for today. I am hoping you do not have any. Talk to you later.
In love, light and joy

I Am of the Stars … and so are you!

FOOTNOTE ON THE SEABEES
(1) Link: “Seabees,” in Wikipedia …https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seabee… See especially the subheading: “Naval Combat Demolition Units: NCDUs – Underwater Demolition Teams: UDT” … [paragraphing mine. –Alice] …
“In early May 1943, a two-phase “Naval Demolition Project” was directed by the Chief of Naval Operations ‘to meet a present and urgent requirement’. The first phase began at Amphibious Training Base (ATB) Solomons, Maryland with the establishment of Operational Naval Demolition Unit No. 1. Six Officers and eighteen enlisted men reported from NTC Camp Peary dynamiting and demolition school, for a four-week course … Those Seabees were immediately sent to participate in the invasion of Sicily …
“Naval Combat Demolition Units (NCDUs) consisted of one officer and five enlisted and were numbered 1–212. After that first group had been trained Lt. Commander Draper Kauffman was selected to Command the program that had been set up in Camp Peary’s ‘Area E’ close to the Seabee Dynamiting and Demolition school. Six classes were graduated from Camp Peary before the program was moved to Fort Pierce …
“Another reason for the initial NCDU location being at Camp Peary was that the Joint Army Navy Experimental Testing (JANET) site, for beach obstacle removal Project DM-361, was located at Camp Bradford temporarily late 1942-43. Later, despite the move to Fort Pierce, Camp Peary was Kauffman’s manpower source. ‘He would go up to Camp Peary’s Dynamite School, assemble the (Seabees) in the auditorium and say, ‘I need volunteers for hazardous, prolonged and distant duty.” … Fort Pierce had Construction Battalion Unit 1011 assigned to the school. Its job was to construct and maintain the various obstacles needed for the demolitions class to practice their training.
“The men in those first classes referred to themselves as ‘Demolitioneers’ … The NCDUs had 34 teams in England for the invasion of Normandy.(all told they suffered 53 percent casualties on Normandy) …
“While waiting for D-day the NCDUs trained with the 146th, 277th and 299th Combat Engineer Battalions … Each NCDU had 5 men from a Combat Engineer Battlion attached to the team. In the beginning the first 10 NCDUs were split into 3 groups …
“The whole thing was a bit ad-hoc as they had no Commanding Officer, but the Senior officer was the leader of group III, Lt Smith (CEC). He served in that capacity unofficially for the entire group … His group III did a lot of experimental demolitions work and developed the Hagensen Pack … As more teams arrived a NCDU Command was created for the invasion.
“Naval Combat Demolition Force O was awarded the Presidential Unit Citation (United States) while Naval Combat Demolition Force U was awarded a Navy Unit Commendation for Omaha and Utah beaches at Normandy.
“The NCDUs at Normandy were numbers: 11, 22-30, 41-46, 127-8, 130-42 …” –from LInk: “Seabees,” in Wikipedia … https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seabee … CC BY 3.0 Unported
