Bad Gouge.....


Today, we take ELTs from all GPAs.  There is a spread to ensure that not all the "smart" mechanics become ELTs.  No GPA waivers required. 

So, in some cases, a high GPA might hurt your chances.

(Note:  I am in no way suggesting not giving maximum effort)

Cheers,
GC

I stand corrected. I love learning new things.

Mixed GPA classes of ELT's has been in use for a long time now(circa, end of the 1980's).  BUT it sure is fun giving them (re: ELT's) the needle.  Of course they (i.e. ELT's) brought it on themselves.  ;)  Just like the rest of us; we (e.g. all) rate bash the other nuclear rates / collaterial duties.  Long live rate bashing ... :P ;) :P ;)

Well when they came to me to ask if I wanted ELT (I originally checked NO to SPU and ELT on the paper), they said; "We need one more top half top half (PS/Ptype), interested?" Just sayin. :P They guaranteed me subs (whether lie or not) so I took it. ;D Point is, I'm awesome and I was an ELT so being an ELT must be awesome..., same with SRO. I know, the logic escapes you. :P :-> [agree] [OT] [dowave] [banned]

met an old HP named Elmo.  was about 75 or something working at north anna back in 07.  he said he wrote some of the original sampling procedures and took some of the first primary samples at the INEL prototype in the early fifties.  all of this is fuzzy so don't quote me.  kinda cool, I felt like he was telling the truth.  seems like he was the first ELT (or one of the first), but he was a civilian!  strange.

Our classroom instructors for ELT were all civilian Early (70s). I do remember them writing some of the procedures chemistry and RadCon. One of them had even responded to the SL-1 accident he had some good stories.

Well you know what squids say about sailors.... wait you don't.  It's okay to kid about the couples thing because even God can't see what happens below 400 feet.

I don't know about all that, but if I struck a nerve about being on a sub, you are a bit more sensitive than most sailors.

(Note the ROFL after the phrase.) If you can't take a joke, don't send one back.

That is because those who were not ELTs can't help but to show their jealousy and anger for not being selected to be part of the superior cadre of US Navy Nukes.  8)

Man is this turning out to be a classic. At the current C.00E+2 acceleration rate, it may turn out to be the best yet. Look what we have so far - ELT's are girlie MMs, they started as penis machinists (corpsmen),they frustrate real MMs who have to train them,some of the prehistoric models were trained by a member of the SL1 initial entry team, the L is for lazy vs. laboratory, and what not. Currently we have the surface vs. sub diatribe in the zygote stage. By far-nothing stimulates the synapse of both current and ex nuc swabbies as the three lettered demonic acronym... You know what it is. May those timeless tomes 0152 & 0153 continue to serve with honor.  MM2/ELT USS Nimitz CVN 68  80-84  BOHICA.

Strange... I remember ELT's having to ask my permission to go take samples.... :p I also remember bagging up spills and having the ELT's come down to do my bidding for cleanup.

ELT's... glorified janitors
MM's... glorified plumbers
EM's.... glor... nvm
ET's..... Melt outside of air condition for more then 10 minutes.

That's called "professional courtesy", much like when the CNA knocks on the door of your nursing home room, and asks if it is ok to change your DependsTM   :P
