.....Does anyone think that if I continue to consistently prove my maturity and my interest in the Nuke Program to my recruiter that this will increase my chances of getting my waivers sent in and approved? Once again, any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
You asked.
You're not proving maturity.
You're proving you want what you want when you want it, not that you can deliver on the obligations that go hand in hand with the opportunities.
To wit;
You performed well on some AP course commitments but not others. This dichotomy leads to two conclusions;
(1)
You qualified to be an AP student but failed to adequately deliver across the board on the premium resources dedicated to you through your school district, resources which are above and beyond what is required to provide an adequate high school education and which, at the end of the day benefit you much more than they ever benefit those who pay the taxes to support your school district.
Should this history of failing to adequately perform continue in the Navy Nuclear Power Program (NNPP) your failure will have denied a slot to someone who may very well have performed adequately and completed the program. All the resources expended upon you until your failure are also lost and wasted, and the Navy is accountable to others to not expend those resources nilly willy on every smart but lazy so and so who walks through the recruiters door and states he/she would love to be a Navy nuke and get those big bonuses too. The NNPP will have courses of instruction you will have an affinity for and others you will struggle with, they must all be completed adequately to complete the program.
or
(2)
You were never really qualified to be an AP student and your school district failed to determine a course of instruction where you could succeed. Your school district failed you by failing to match your potential to your curriculum challenges.
The Navy does not desire to repeat that mistake as you will not be challenged only academically, you will also have to adapt to the Navy discipline, lifestyle, duty roster and obligations, mindset and the Navy way all while maintaining an adequate performance academically.
The Navy does not want to fail itself or you.
You should read through this thread concerning three generations plus of current and ex Navy Nukes bitching about all the problems endemic to the NNPP;
http://www.nukeworker.com/forum/index.php/topic,14186.0.htmlIf the NNPP has not appreciably "improved" in the 23 years since I completed my eight year stint what you read there is what it is.
Perhaps, if you have little better to do, you could take your recruiters option of joining the USN as a non-nuke, pick a nuke rate such as MM, show the Navy you can handle the all the non-NNPP aspects of the Navy way and roll over into nuke at a later date.
OBTW,
Based on your latest post I am inclined to consider you may have matured in the last few years.
I am not who you need to convince of that possibility.
Good Luck,.....
