I guess I should also introduce myself. I'm a MM2 ELT on a Virginia class stationed out in Pearl. Been on board for 4 years for the whole initial crit and sea trials fun and games. probably another month and I will be qualified EWS. Its time for me to leave the boat and move onward with my Navy life. Being on a new boat, the majority of the Eng dept folks have rolled out for first tour guys. I'm up for a shore duty, and really have no idea what is available. The Command and the detailer are pushing Prototype and thats not really the route I want to go. I finished just below half way in Power school, so A-school/Power school are probably out of the question. Just looking for a few pros and cons of the shore duty options available for an ELT.
