Mcguire or V.C summer?
RP Instructor:
If you could take VC Summer's Containment Building, and connect it to McGuire's Auxiliary and Turbine Buildings, you'd have it made.
I found the layout of McGuire's Auxiliary and Turbine Buildings easier to navigate; but VC Summer's Containment Building is ideal; open, stairwells, elevator; far easier to navigate than McGuire's Lower Containment, Lower Containment Pipechase, and Annulus.
As for Operations at McGuire , I spent twelve years working shift alongside Operations, and they're a great group of folks.
As for VC Summer and the path to an RO/SRO License, I suspect it has gotten tougher after the license failures back in 2007. However, if it's what you want, you'll do what it takes to succeed.
I see nothing wrong with being a career AO if that's all you want. Some folks are content with their career as it is.

I got called in for testing / interview next week for VC Summer (POSS test). I dont foresee a problem with the test, but I am worried about the effects of shift work. The job pays enough to where my wife should be able to stay at home w/ kids, but I'm worried that I may never get to see them. I'm one of those people that have to get 8 hours of sleep a day or I am screwed. It doesn't matter when it is, cause I can always fall asleep, but 6 just doesn't cut it. At USNA, I got maybe 6 every day and I was always nodding off.
ugh.

Shift work isn't too bad. On my shift I always have at least 3 days a week off and my 5th week is 7 off. I spend nearly as many days at home as I do at work. Obviously the days off rotate but I am home a lot.
