Hello,
I am currently a freshman in college, looking to apply to the NUPOC program in a year. I will be taking Calc B and Calc-based physics between now and then. I usually maintain an A, A- average. I have read numerous articles and posts on this website and others, but need some clarification. First, is the program worth it. I want to serve my country in some capacity, and it seems like this would be a perfect opportunity to do it (my father and uncle were marines). I understand the time commitment and frequent routine work associated. Second, what are the technical phone interviews really like. I understand that a majority of the questions will involve calculus or physics, but what are the other topics covered (thermochemisty, buoyancy, and some general chemistry). Third, what is it really like, as either a surface warfare officer or on a sub (I also understand that there are other positions)?
What I am really asking is if it is viable and worthy to pursue this career. Any help is appreciated!
