Being a NUKE, isnt like what you are used to,,,,and it depends if you are a target or a Submariner..myself I was atarget,,a carrier,,,had its good side,,we hit port every 21 days....or so..stayed out 144 days during the Hostage Situation in Iran.......subs have a regular schedule..especially if you are on a BOOMER.......you could draw a ship in the YARD,,or go in the YARD...we did 18 months in NNS...then when you get out a job is usually easy to find...but depending on your rate,,,I was an ELT...once you get to site,,you are usually accused of being an ARROGANT , SELF CENTERED A**HOLE<<by alot of other Rad con....but depending on your attitude,,you might be,,not all NUKES are arrogant,,, because your training is so intense and Job related,,you are qualified to do more than one job,,,so ,,study your books..do your time at sea,,,and hopefully we will see you on the layoff sheet.......red
