I made it through boot camp (graduated yesterday, hall of fame division 033). Now I am on hold waiting for a seat to open up at EM A-school. Odd thing happened with rate selection, three people in my division requested MM and were given EM. to my knowledge, that is vey unusual; however, I am perfectly satisfied being picked for EM, at least I am not an ET. I don't know how long I am going to be on hold, but I hope I get out of here soon. It sucks to graduate from boot camp and then find out you still have to sit here for a few more weeks.

Regardless of your rating, learn whatever you can, whenever you can.... even though I was an EM , my most rewarding (and bizarre) work and job offers have come from radiological services and non-nuke water chemistry. It's like a box of chocolates...

I dont really mind waiting. The reason it is bad is that I am technically still in recruit status. Which means I have zero privaleges. But it isnt that bad. hurry up and wait.

I propose your definition of what "sucks" will drastically have changed by that point in your life,.....
good luck 'toaster,...

Normal tuesday duty day with the shutdown 1800 to 2400 watch, oh dark 30 start up watch on discharge station, feed pumps manuvering watch, set section 3 normal underway watch.. hey that's me... my watch must be busted, cuz if it was correct that means I've been on watch/duty for 31 hours straight....


hummm, that sucks.

Nuke ET

For EM's the last course of A school (Equip) is easier than the ET's (I&CE) course.  Both rates have an A School of 24 weeks.  MM's have a 12 or 14 week A School.  MM A school is a lot easier than the ET and EM A school.

The EMs I worked with had a wide range of opportunities when they got out. Many electricians don't want to mess with complex circuits, such as cranes. Former Nuke EMs have been the best at crane maintenance because they aren't intimidated by complexity.
