Comment by Terry Skinner on September 4, 2012 at 8:19pm: @Jeff: Yes, looks to be the case...Groton will be his home for about 9 mos.

@Jay: :-) SECF is Submarine Electronics Computer Field. From what I understand, this covers 3 possible jobs - Electronics, Sonar Technician and Fire Control Technician. He is hoping for Fire Control.

Comment by Jay O. Butler on September 4, 2012 at 6:35am: @ Terry, having been surface all my career ican't fathom intentional sinking a ship(hehe). Actually just a litter tuber/surface ship rivally. Tubers i know always called us targets.What is SECF

Comment by Terry Skinner on September 3, 2012 at 9:11pm: Hi Dylan,

Welcome to the group! My son is in 948 (percussion), but no letters/calls yet. What does your wife do in 948?

@Jay: My son is SECF. He will be spending some time below the surface.

Comment by Dylan on September 3, 2012 at 5:02pm: Hey everyone, my wife is in Ship 02 Div 948. Still no letters from her, has anyone else recieved any letters from their SRs in that ship/div?

Comment by Jay O. Butler on September 3, 2012 at 1:02pm: Terry, i sure will tell Amber everybody on Navydads is pulling for her. You will have to wait for rabbit season to open before i can get another lucky rabbits foot.

Tell your wife to try to have patience for i know you'll soon hear from your son.

What is your son gonna do in the navy?

Comment by Terry Skinner on September 3, 2012 at 10:55am: @Jeff: Thanks for the advice to update our Navy Lodge info with our SR's name! I just called them to make sure and they said we are good to go.

@Jay: Can you ship me one of those rabbit's feet? :-) My wife is on NavyForMoms.com and she read one post where their SR is 11 days away from graduation and her SR has never gotten to call home other than the "I'm here". Remind Amber she has lots of folks pulling for her on NavyDads!

Comment by Jay O. Butler on September 3, 2012 at 10:12am: Terry i don,t know how i got so lucky, must be my lucky rabbits foot. I have to admit it was great I am so proud of her. I could tell she was homesick a little as she broke down twice.

Jeff how does one get to stay at the navy lodge. Is it on base or off?

Comment by Terry Skinner on September 2, 2012 at 10:01am: Congrats on the letter, Tina! We still have not heard from our son, but we are patiently waiting - or at least I am trying to be patient. My wife is about to leave me for the mailman in hopes of getting the first letter just a bit sooner. :-) @Jay: how does one score a 20-minute phone call this early? Wow!

Comment by Tina Mumford on September 1, 2012 at 7:21pm: Got a 5 page letter from my son. He is good.Ruff staying up for 40hrs.
