Did they forget ELT's, a branch of lowly Machinist mates who a large percentage of RP's come from who actually know what they are doing from day 1 as a civilian.

No, it's about jobs that require insane brainpower, not an insane ability to make up numbers.

you're confusing "thinking outside the box" with "making up numbers",...

ELT aka Equifinality Lamazing Technovators,...

it's okay, I've been accused of "making up numbers" before,...

it's why I still prefer 5849 to 1575,...

1575 puts dozens of tools and solutions at my disposal,...

and I love the mental exercise,...

5849 is simple and easy with tidy little boxes for other people to get comfortable with,...

and I hate diagramming nuance for those linear mindsets more than I love mental exercise for myself,...

ELT's were like the "Jedi" on Nuclear submarines. They usually were in robes (lab coats) and magically fixed the chemistry of the RX and SG's using the force. They knew how to spin the Stainless Steel valve caps without jamming them on their seats when they had to do a quick valve alignment. When I got out of the Navy in the 80's Nuclear Plants bowed low to get their services, compared to us lowly machinist mates, a dime a dozen. The next person in the pecking order were the ET's who were the Reactor Operators.

you can research deep or scan, type and scoot,...

I was SS (Submarine Service) once upon a time, I tend to go deep,...

in the article there is this link:

Learn more about the Navy Nuclear Field. https://www.navycs.com/blogs/2008/11/14/navy-nuclear-program

in the link there is this info:

...Selected graduates of mechanical operator training are given additional training as Engineering Laboratory Technicians (ELT)...

by reference the article does differentiate,...

by purpose of serving the economy of verbage and minimizing redundancy, the article options to not repeat what is available to those seeking knowledge,...

ergo, the article does not serve those seeking talking points,...

I never wore a lab coat as an ELT on a submarine for the full five years of my sea service tour,...

Anti-Cs yes, apron with gloves yes, apron with gloves and faceshield yes, apron with gloves, faceshield and extended Anti-C sleeves yes,...

lab coat no,...

utilities did not bow low,...

ELTs were accorded more time towards 18.1 or 3.1 (there is a good thread around these parts to that effect),...

MOs, ROs & EOs which pulled a stint at an R-5 and qualified RCM and/or RCSS were accorded more time likewise and proportionate,...

ELTs who pulled a similar R-5 stint (e.g. GLW), were accorded time towards 18.1 / 3.1 commensurately and proportionately more,...

simple really,...

I can't believe how the NNPS is today. I was in the last class at Bainbridge, MD (7602) and it was nothing like it is today.

Indeed...looks like the quotas tend to be shifting towards more of the "insane", and less of the "brainpower"
