OPSEC - Navy Operations Security
Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.
DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.
DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Where do I find out information about the training for a Machinest Mate. My son mentioned starting with BECC school and I would like to read more about this. He is on hold for A school right now. It has been 3 months - is this typical?

All submariner's do not attend school in Groton, CT. The nuclear trained ones, attend school in Goose Creek, SC (MM, ET, & EM rates). They may stay in GC for Prototype or go to Ballston Spa, NY for Prototype, then out to the fleet.

I can only tell you what came from my son, but every one of them are given a schedule at the beginning of each section (A-school, Power School, Prototype). It tells them every single subject, test date, boards, and graduation. So, that said, your sailor will be fully aware of what is expected of her from day one.
