Hello all,
I've been checking out this site for about a month now and I have gained some great information about the POSS test. I'm in a pretty rough spot because I have no experience in this field. I spent the last 10 years on a fire truck for a big city, before i broke my back in a fire and was forced to medically retire ( I'm still in great shape, just can't be back on a truck due to an NFPA law). I have always been interested in Nuclear Operations and recently dropped an application for an AO position out here in AZ. I know that I'm competing against Navy Nukes for this position and I know that my chances are slim to none. Is there ANYTHING I can do to be more desirable? I have a ton of certifications ( Paramedic, Technical rescue, Hazmat etc) unfortunately none of them help me in the Nuclear world! Any help would be greatly appreciated from me and my family.
