Hey guys! I'm 17, in DEP, and on Wednesday I went to Philly Recruiting HQ to take my NAPT, which I gladly passed. I'm interested in going ET, since I love dealing with computers, and lets face it, I got a 49 on my ASVAB for the mechanic portion, even though I love cars. So I've been hearing from a few buddies, one inside the Navy and one former, that the suicide rate is pretty high for Navy Nuke school? I'm not exactly how sure that is, but I do know the schooling is going to be difficult and a lot of people can't handle that. So in other words, I'm excited, ready to reclassify ASAP, get my boot date, and go after high school.
-Is it worth a 2nd or 3rd re-enlistment? I know that I'll figure it out later on, but I'd like to hear some stories.
-Any stats on the suicide rate from A school or the other schools? I tried but can't find anything.
-How was your experience during and after A school + power + proto?
Thanks guys, I'm glad this forum exists. I've been reading up a lot on it lately.
