I am a Navy MM1 getting out in May 2005, and although that sounds like a lot of time to prepare, based off of the confusion I am creating for myself, I think I can use the time. I have some questions maybe everyone can help me with. First off my history goes something like this, my first sub I did one deployment then decommed her, second sub I did 1.5 patrols and took her through a year and a half overhaul, then I went to a tender as a RCT and then RCSS, now I am working here in Groton once again as a RCT and shooting for RCTS by summer-ish. I will finish my BS from TESC by the end of the year. I am just starting to sprout into the supervising stage of my career and now am wondering if I have to start over from here. Is that so? Also, is RCT or mechanical operator the only reliable ways to go or is it possible to successfully branch off now to something a little different? Finally, one of the most important reasons I am leaving the Navy is because I am tired of moving every 2 years, so the prospect of doing it even more as a civilian and with a new family doesn't excite me. Should that mean I need to stop considering the nuke field and just try my way in the non-nuke world? Any kind of guidance, suggestions or contructive criticism would be greatly appreciated...
