Hello all,
I am a 5 yr Sub LT that is about a quarter of the way through my shore tour. I am not completely sure that I am getting out yet, but I am leaning that way. That being said, I have started looking at my employment prospects, nuclear and otherwise. I have two questions and would be very appreciative of any feedback that you all can provide:
1. I would like to stay connected to the Navy as an officer in the reserves. This would mean one weekend a month and two weeks in the summer. Also, there is the possibility of being activated and sent to Afghanistan, Iraq, or a similar place for up to a year (I will get a two year deployment free period initially). Will this adversely affect my ability to perform as an SRO/NLO/AO and would it affect my chances of being hired in the first place?
2. I have read some of the other posts re. the shift schedules, Is the schedule generally fairly flexible?
Thanks in advance.
