I've lurked around the forums, and tried to find answers to the questions I am about to ask. I have found good information, and wanted some further clarification on certain items, and a couple of new questions.
Brief background: I am DEP and scheduled to leave on Jan 05, 2010. I scored 98 on my ASVAB, which is neither here nor there as I'm sure there are no idiots in the Nuke program, so all that did was qualify me into the program nothing more. I'm twenty three years old.
Question one: I have a BA in Social Science, which is great, except for the fact I have taken exactly one class since High School, and it was statistics. In high school I took Pre-Calc and Algebra II (not sure, I guess that makes it intermediate.) I read the advise and the general consensus seems to be to not take any classes before shipment, as we need to learn the Navy way. For some reason, I feel unprepared for the school, and was thinking of enrolling in at least a Trig and a Physics class before I go to boot camp.
Question two: How easy or hard is it to get your ship date moved up. I would like to leave a sooner than January 05 , for no other reason than to get started in the military. I'm not hurting for money or anything like that, I'm just gung-ho! Anything would be great, even a month, but I didn't really see any information pertaining to this.
If anybody cared the bonus right now is 23k for an enlisting nuke (YMMV) only posting this for any other prospective nukes looking for the information. I'm more concerned with making it through the Nuke Schools than anything else though.
Hope I didn't post anything to draw the ire of the board, and thanks for any help and direction you guys can give me.
