Denuked, now an MR wondering about options
« on: Mar 20, 2011, 04:33 »
I used to be a nuke, now I'm a machinery repairman. My EAOS isn't up until 2014, and I'm looking at getting out at that point. What can I do in the mean time to make myself more competitive for a job in the industry? I plan on getting the Excelsior degree and qualifying non-nuc EOOW.  Will the fact i haven't worked in a plant for 4 years be a problem?

Probably, in so far as you will be competing with people that haven't been out of the plant for 4 years, but it doesn't disqualify you from trying.

Why were you denuked?

Ditto. 

Additionally, what type of ship are you on where Machinery Repairmen qualify as EOOW.  I've never heard of this before.

On conventional ships, E-5 and above can qualify EOOW  (it is NOT the same as or anywhere close to being equivalent to nuke EOOW).

Disclaimer -> Im not a hiring manager, I am a civilian nuke pup at  the moment, these are merely things that I have seen in my plant. All plants are different, and all hire based on different criteria.


It will also depend on how long you WERE a nuke. are you nuke waste or you had your NEC removed? Thats completely different things.  If you were a nuke for 6 years, and got denuked for being stupid, thats not the same as "being a nuke" and not passing the pipeline. One guy we hired passed power school, but got denuked for under age drinking. He was a machinist in the navy as well.

Right.  I've seen BT and MM qualified as EOOW, and I imagine GSM and GSE, but I just never heard of an MR even working in a main space.
