Sleep Apnea and De-nuking

[nukeswife]

Hello all!

First off, I want to say how glad I am I found this site! What a wonderful wealth of knowledge. I'm sure both I and the hubbs will be using it all frequently. 

I have a question that I hope you all can provide some information on. My hubbs is surface ELT, and it's possible that he might have sleep apnea, but we don't know for sure yet. Does anyone know if this is a condition which one can be de-nuked for? I read in the US Jobs folder that it was something someone's prospective employer was concerned about, but I can't find anything online about sleep apnea in specifics to nukes.

Any information anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated. Thank you and it's nice to meet you all!

Without having the instruction in front of me, all I can say is that I just reenlisted a thirty year Master Chief who has a well documented case of sleep apnea.  Good luck.

My old roommate when I was in Non licensed class got out of the navy for sleep apnea with FULL disability. Yes he got a check every month because of it. I dont know your husband's love or hate of the navy but it was this guys ticket out. He wanted out and to make more money in commercial nuclear power.  Now that i think of it he was an ELT also but on subs. lolol
