As far as the trust issue goes, I agree that previous commercial guys are quicker to earn the trust, but that's dangerous and unwarranted. How many times, Justin, did an 18 year Chief, who was trusted more than the dirty blue shirt, screw the pooch standing EDO because of the commands misplaced confidence in his "experience". Was his trust warranted by deference to his previous experience on other platforms?

It got so bad on my boat while in the yards that the only guys who were allowed to stand EDPO were the two E-6's and the one E-8. The other chiefs and the EDMC had all been given the qual cards with everything but the interviews deleted, on the assumption that since they're chiefs they'll be fine, and they caused more incident reports than anyone else.

I agree, get an ME, it is more flexible.
I'm confused about one thing, what the hell does being an ELT have to do with getting a QA Job?

Not sure what to say to that one. Haha. Monitoring reactor safety and testing water sounds kinda like Quality Assurance to me, but I'm only in A-School and don't know much about the job yet so...

You're right, you're a NUB who knows nothing about nuclear power, I'm a former ELT who somehow has managed to obtain 3 license from the NRC. In about 15 to 18 months you'll be qualified to comment.
QA and ELT are not related, they are totally different functions.

Talk about shooting the innocent in the face. I don't think he meant any malice by confusing QA and ELT.
