Well, here is to hoping, I think I will be routing a request chit soon enough. I think it will be easy enough to collect signatures up to my REA, of coarse having plenty of face time with these individuals makes that a bit easier. The CO is of coarse a bit trickier in nature. And it seems when it comes to nukes, NR always has the final say . . . As for the fellow who went from NRMD, that was the other route I was thinking might have the greatest chance of success, a non-nuke billet. The reasons I left the Marines to join the nuke program was to procure a better life outside the military when my time is up. That is/will be accomplished without too much difficulty. Though, I have regretted leaving the Marines since day 1, especially at the time that I did. It was mostly at the advice of my Staff Seargent at the time. He said I would be an idiot not to take this opportunity. Maybe he was right . . . who knows.
