Which is better?

Job prospects for you in 2008 looks very bright as long as you're not picky as to where you want to go when initially getting out of the navy.

The figures above are subject to change based on attrition. Given the age of the nuclear plants, there are tons of people getting ready to retire between now and 10 years from now. Almost every plant will have advancement faster than this in 2008-2010; it will be even faster if new construction plants start hiring experienced people in that time frame as well.
A plant with high attrition will have half that time for advancement; some even less.

Rolltide, I love the words you just spoke of...I really hope that attrition is in my favor when I'm finished with my active duty...It seems liek it will be around 2012-2013.
Roll Tide:
Many utilities are developing construction programs which will each build at least one nuclear plant to go online 2013-2015.
They will be staffed up by 2012 if going online in 2013; much manning would be 2013 for 2015 plants, if the time frames are similar to the previous generation construction.
Getting out 2013! Do those words hurt when they come out? ;D

INSTANT SRO IS A JOKE. EVERYBODY WHO WORKS AT THE PLANT WILL LAUGH AT YOUR ASS AND MAKE JOKES. YOU DIDN'T EARN THE TITLE, YOU DIDN'T LEARN THE PLANT, YOU DIDN'T PAY YOUR DUES.
THAT'S LIKE AN OFFICER IN THE NUKE NAVY THAT WAS A MUSIC MAJOR IN COLLEGE ,BEING IN CHARGE OF THE ENLISTED MEN IN THE PLANT. SOMEBODY GAVE YOU THE TITLE "WATCH OFFICER". YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND YOU DON'T HAVE THE RESPECT OF THE MEN.
Bfjohnson:
Ouch! My ears! ;)
Anyway, I truly see your point in that RHW. I've dealt with enough Watch Officers in my time to understand exactly where you are coming from.
It really is good to see that future prospects look really good. It gives me a very positive attitude towards the future and what might be...
This site has certainly proved to be an asset that I will continue to monitor and use. I think I'll head off to the "getting in" section and see if I can be of assistance there!
One thing I have noticed in looking at the sites that were recommended, is that I didn't get a whole lot of hits on NLO jobs. Is it just my timing, or is that normal?
