The "New" Nuke Program...

Generally speaking, officers only need to worry about getting stabbed in the back by other officers, especially in the surface community.

  Damn right.  The biggest bus that ever ran me over was driven by a Conventional SWO who was smiling the whole time.... nothing a few torpedoes can't fix.

I don't know why you would doubt this?
Back in the 80s we got E4 following A school now the have to wait to finish NPS and the get E5 following Prototype what is so outrageous.

Why didnt they give me a sword when I was in? maybe they didn't like the sight of blood.
Anyways it was worth it to get even though I am only making $29 a hour right now. Yes, that is less than what the navy paid me. Yes, I have debts and things that cost money that I want. No, I am not sick to my stomach with stress. No money is worth giving up a couple years. It wasn't for me for whatever reason.
Now if you are in and like it good for you. Good luck.

After your enlistment if you reenlist at the 2-year mark, you automatically get promoted to E-5.
