Not sure if things have changed, but 20+ years ago, when I entered DEP, everything I had signed said "nuclear". Though, I don't kn ow why your recruiter would do something like that. As far as I know, nukes still count as two ascesions (sp?) for recruiters, i.e. you as a nuke count as two people as any other rating. Now, he may have been talking about "advanced technical training" which is what gets you the extra one year on your enlistment. Or he could just be a guy that doesn't know what he's talking about. If the contract you sign does not say specifically what you want to sign up for, don't sign it.
