You have a choice to accept or decline the promotion. Accepting it adds 2 years to your initial enlistment.

Upon reflection, I should have choosen not to accept it  However, it's easy for me to say this now. At the time, it's the money that mattered and it would have been weird to be an E-3 among your fellow E-4 peers. But I do remember a guy who was demoted back to E-3 for something dumb he did.

Well that is much more of a common occurance these days to see nuke E3s, heck even saw a few E2s and even an E1 Nuke student going through the pipeline.  They just don't kick em out like they used to back in the day.  Welcome to the "no NUB left behind" nuclear navy(to kinda quote another poster on this forum).

I took my slacker, never-come-to work-on-time, can't qualify Log Recorder Electrician to CO's mast 4 times.  He was finally reduced in rank all the way to E-1, but Charlie Oscar refused to de-nuke him.  The kid was still an nuke E1 when I transferred.

I was just asked to go to the Navy Nuke field and I was wondering what level of math and science you are expected to know and what level of math and science you start at in Nuke school. I passed the Nuke test and got a 93 on my ASVAB but haven't been to school in years and can only remember VERY basic chemistry and algebra 2.

Thanks in advance!

Well the good news is that by now you have forgotten quite a bit of all that stuff, so when the Navy teaches it to you their way, it won't hurt so bad trying to force out the old stuff.  

But on a serious note, you will not see anything past some advanced algebra and pre-calculus like logrithms, exponents, etc.  You don't get into deriviatives, limits, or anything like that.  Most of what you will see will be taught to you the Navy way and you would be amazed how much comes screaming back into your head, usually carrying a red hot poker with it.  

Chemistry is pretty basic stuff, like balancing chemical equations, electron shell theory, and pH calculations.  You aren't going to be asked to come up with the chemical formula for "unobtainium"(Bonus points for whoever can name the movie that this was on).  Once again the navy will provide you the method for which they want you to know it.

Always loved the "briefly describe in detail" that ended up being two pages front and back.  

Also love these remarks....

-1pt for not assuming 3 ft approx equal to 1 meter
-1pt for not assuming ELT approx 1.5 meters by 2 meters in area
-1pt for not assuming approx 2 hours to clean up spill.

CTE at protosuck, Radcon problem that involved a pipe with certain level of contamination, pipe bust, some went to bilge, some went to air, some got swallowed.  You got 30 Minutes.

Uh ........... NO THANKS.  No hard feelings though.  I've got freedom and the lap of luxury in my mirrors and direct vision devices/viewfinders.

Really it is a great job.  You get to work with the smartest people in the military.  We pay you the most.  You job is full of rewards.  Not to mention you get money for college.

I need an adult beverage immediately.  (You do that so well by the way.) 

After careful thought and deliberation I've concluded that your offer is not up to my standards of living at this moment and will check back in when I can get a free trip (All expensese paid of course) to Australia.






Modified to mention (only because I'm dealing with Navy Nukes):
Without any strings attached (like joining the Navy to do it).  Frikin' Nukes!


You got another cold one of those... 

All that shoveling BS left me thirsty.
