While I did my 20 as a navy nuke, most of the guys in the I&C shop at Wolf Creek didn't. There are Marines, Air Force, and Army.. Only 2 other guys in the shop are actually ex-navy nukes, and both have been out for a long time. There are a lot of guys who are native kansans, who worked for either Daniels or Davis in the 80's during construction, and then came over to house around initial startup. The guy who sits next to me flew bombers in Viet Nam.
And talk about longevity... I'm in the bunch that just got hired, (3 of us) but the Old-New-Guys (last to be hired in shop) have been there for 3 years, and it was around 7 years before that since they hired last. I'll be here 5 years, and still be classified as the New-New guy.
I've learned that navy ET stuff is NOT I&C, but only the tip of that iceberg. That's not too good. On the positive side, however, is I was exposed to maintenance planning, supervision, mods, maintenance, mechanical, QA, ops, maintenance support, and certainly janatorial. What navy-nuke isn't a quick study? So, while I might be starting a little behind, I'll catch up quick.
