U.S. NAVAL BASE GUAM - Fireman Saul Arreguin, a native of Los Angeles, California, serves the U.S. Navy aboard USS Frank Cable.
Arreguin graduated from Locke High School in 2021.
The skills and values needed to succeed in the Navy are similar to those found in Los Angeles.
“I learned the importance of independence, self-respect, being respectful of others, and being financially responsible,” said Arreguin.
Arreguin joined the Navy one year ago.
“I joined the Navy for financial stability and an exciting and rewarding career,” said Arreguin.
Frank Cable, an expeditionary submarine tender manned by a hybrid crew of sailors and civilian mariners, provides critical maintenance capabilities to the U.S. Navy’s submarine force in the Pacific.
Frank Cable’s primary clients are the four Los Angeles-class attack submarines homeported in Guam, but the ship can also provide repair and logistic services to other Navy ships like cruisers and destroyers. The submarine tenders provide maintenance, temporary berthing services and logistical support to submarines and surface ships in the Pacific Ocean as well as the Persian Gulf, Red Sea, Arabian Sea and parts of the Indian Ocean.
With a crew of more than 600, Frank Cable is 649 feet long and weighs approximately 23,493 tons.
With 90% of global commerce traveling by sea and access to the internet relying on the security of undersea fiber optic cables, Navy officials continue to emphasize that the prosperity of the United States is directly linked to recruiting and retaining talented people from across the rich fabric of America.
Arreguin serves a Navy that operates far forward, around the world and around the clock, promoting the nation’s prosperity and security.
“We will earn and reinforce the trust and confidence of the American people every day,” said Adm. Lisa Franchetti, chief of naval operations. “Together we will deliver the Navy the nation needs.”
Arreguin has many opportunities to achieve accomplishments during military service.
“I am most proud of graduating from boot camp, making good memories, and being able to still be here and overcome any challenges,” said Arreguin.
Arreguin can take pride in serving America through military service.
“Serving in the Navy means having a stable career and representing the U.S. while also representing my culture,” said Arreguin. "There is a lot of pride that comes from serving your country."
Arreguin is grateful to others for helping make a Navy career possible.
“I would like to thank my family and all the women leaders and mentors who have helped me throughout my career,” added Arreguin.
