Nuke Hold.....?
« on: Jul 14, 2010, 03:59 »
While having a discussion with some recruiters yesterday at my DEP meeting, one of them mentioned that there was a hold on new nukes. Does anyone have more information about this? When did it start?

(This is strictly out of curiosity because I already have a NUC contract.)

Does this mean that we may be getting close to having the proper manning levels?

Thanks and VR,

Secon

No! It can't be true! Tell me it's not so!

Seriously, I don't like this news.

Right now there is a 4-6 month hold between power school and prototype for mechanics (and 2-4 months for ETs and EMs).  I imagine this could have something to do with it.

That would be nice I think I barely had a month of T-track.

And also the amount of Instructors is a bit low. There are so many of us here, our T Track room was up to 470 before the 1005 classed up -_-. And being a Mechanic I now have a 3 month wait in t track, 7 weeks left =). (Our class got bumped down)

Enjoy T-Track... it will be the most laid back time you have in the Navy... unless you are lucky enough to ever be augmented during a deployment.

Hold times have been such a problem that power school graduates have the opportunity to take college classes before attending prototype.  Because of the hold issue, the college office runs seven-week-long accelerated courses made to fit into each hold rotation.

It sounds like the hold students are allowed to take classes, since they're not over employed yet. However, it looks like we're going to have some huge classes in the near future.
