Hello everyone! I recently completed the ASVAB at my local MEPS and am not yet sworn in. As you can see, from the clickable image on the right, I've got some fairly good scores. Category I on the AFQT and good combined scores for EL and NUC which, to my understanding, at least one of these must be greater than or equal to 252 in order to become an ETN. Or is it required that I take the NAPT also? Still not quite clear on that. But anyways, that's not my main question. I've been reading through many posts (https://www.nukeworker.com/forum/index.php/topic,17568.0.html) here which have been very helpful to me. But I'm still not clear on some things. My ambitious long term goal is to become a Naval Reactors Engineer which, as I understand and I may be wrong on this, requires at least O-1 rank which, of course, requires college. So, being where I am now, I'll end up going through the pipeline and at some point in time I'll go to school to be an officer. I've heard around that TESC BSAST in Nuclear Engineering is the best option. Anyway, if all this is right, then when is the right time to apply for TESC in the pipeline? Will the Navy be able to pay? Will credits be transferable from the JST? What the heck is ODS and is that a requirement? Are there any better routes? ~ Many thanks to all respondents :) | (http://i.imgur.com/XocbxgTl.png) (http://imgur.com/XocbxgT) |
