Blue to Green?

[James.Cawthon]

Has anyone ever experienced a nuke getting out to participate in the blue to green program?

Will not happen.

I have seen this once. In 2007 a LT at prototype was able to pull it off. Finished his SE tour and then went Army.

Keep in mind that Blue-to-Green is NOT a Navy program, but an Army program.

Once you separate with an Honorable discharge, you are flagged as a Nuke.  Coming back in as any rate other than Nuke won't happen.  You can get a degree and try and come back as an officer.  As for the mentioned program, there exists agreements between the services that they won't take each other's critical skills folks, thus CG's comment.

I have seen it happen a couple of times. For enlisted, they were in the last year of their contract and not collecting sub pay. Both of them went into the flying warrant officer program.

Are you sure this guy went Blue-to-Green?  I ask because going into the Army's Warrant program was (~ 10 years ago at least) an entirely different program.  I had three friends go that route; 2 Nuke mechanics (1 went Apache pilot and 1 to be Engineer on an ocean going tug) and an ELT went the tug Engineer route as well. 

Again, that was a decade ago, so YMMV.
