Meanwhile the vets and police get everything on a silver platter.  Keep collecting their "work-related" disability checks for sleep apnea, hearing loss, sore back, and fibromyalgia. And why am I bombed with television adds for every county in the area offering free pick-up rides...

Training, Tests & Education / Nuclear Program College Course...

Last post by BPW - Aug 26, 2025, 01:15

So, I'm attending Penn State for Nuclear Engineering, just started yesterday, and they've identified 90 credits from my Navy experience as an ETN. Now they've waived quite a few Geneds, and a single English course for some reason, but I have a bunch of Chem and Phys credits that are just collecting dust because they don't have a course equivalent. I'm going to go see the Engineering department soon to plead my case, hopefully getting some more courses waived, but I need as much fire power as I can get.

TLDR: Does the Navy Nuclear Program provide any sort of suggested/recommended college course equivalencies for these transfer credits, I feel that if I came to them with something straight from DoD then it'd help me knock out more courses. I haven't been able to find anything, so I'm not sure it exists.

My personal emphasis to all newbies, nubbs, interns, etc. as far as leaving everyday as you came in, was by far industrial safety. I think every fatality at a nuclear plant has been to date attributed to an industrial accident or natural causes. Shrimp on the barbie for all!
