Navy Nuke Beginner
« on: Apr 03, 2012, 04:36 »
Hello everyone, My name is Donovan Jones. In November I went into DEP for the Nuclear Program and have a few questions. I have picked EM as the rate im going to strive to get, I know that the Navy eventually decides but at least theres a dream sheet we fill out. For prior Navy Nukes what was your life like at sea? Is liberty harder to come by as a Nuke or is it simply all the same? My main question though is I have been re-reading my contract and I found a form entitled Nuclear Field Medical Statement of Understanding. It basicly states that MEPS does not have the required staff to determine if you are medically qualified for the NF. Can anyone tell me what sort of things could possibly disqualify someone from the program at RTC? Thank You all responses are appreciated.

If nothing is wrong with you, then you have nothing to worry about. If you have something wrong with you and are concerned... now is the time to ask about it.

Hiding something based on a recruiters advice is never advised....

The rest has been answered here many a time.

Good Luck!

Nope nothing wrong. I got through my MEPS physical fine and entirely honstly. I have come up with one more question though. Is there any way to become an officer while in the nuclear pipeline or after prototype school?

This has also been answered many a time on this site. Search for STA-21, NUPOC, and Officer Programs.

Good Luck!

Liberty usually begins for the non-nukes first, then after shore power is rigged and whatever else needs to be done to and for the engineroom, then the engineering folks go on liberty where you can meet the friendly local people.

The only way to be an officer is to have a degree (unless you count CWO/LDO but that's years down the road.)

Generally, if you put in a STA-21 package while a student for a program other than nuclear, it will not be looked on favorably. Have an answer for "Why should we recommend you for a program that has nothing to do with the 100k+ we've spent on training you so far?"

That being said, STA-21 for nuke officer has a decent selection rate for students. You might have to apply a few times to finally get selected though.
