A school for subs in Groton?
« on: May 03, 2010, 07:40 »
Hello to all. This is my first post although i have been a steady follower for months now. Without boring everyone with too much of my story I just want to say that I'm in DEP now having signed a nuke contract and am slated to leave in Sept. Also, the input of the nuclear community and the information on this site was unbelievably valuable to my decision and I want to thank all active and former nukes who took the time to be so helpful and informative.

Anyway, I recently checked out navy.com's updated site and came across a sentence stating that A school for submarine fields is in Groton, CT?

(Under the training and advancement section)

I was under the impression that all nuclear training until prototype was done in Charleston and was hoping someone could weigh in on this. For reference, not a problem; just found it interesting since they supposedly moved training from there in the '60s.

Sub school (not required for nukes) is in Groton, CT.  A school/Power school for nukes is in Charleston, SC.  Prototype (hands on training) is in Charleston and Ballston Spa, NY.
Once in while you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right

All other (non-nuclear) rates must attend Sub School prior to coming to the boat.  This includes conventional and weapons MM's, ST, FT, conventional (Nav or Comms) ET, YN, LS, and I think CS.  Anyways, all of the coner rates. ;D ;D ;D ;D
