In raw numbers, I have seen more ELT's go on to be successful Chem Techs or RadCon Techs. From my experience, the best success for OPS has been from Navy Nuke MM's.

Perhaps that is only because many ET's go into instruments and many EM's go into commercial electrician slots. Regardless of the reasons, it is impressive the number of successful MM's in the commercial nuclear field.

Roll Tide,

You're 100% correct.

And it's not from just a numbers perspective either. In License class in general MMs seem to do better.

I have seen many Nukes of all rates do Radcon at the shipyards for Shore duty.  Are there more MMs getting into the NLO and Licensing programs than the rest of the Navy Rates.  It seemed that most were MMs to begin with.  At Fermi, I thought there were few of us EM/ETs, maybe more non-Navy Nukes than ET/EM combined at the NLO level.  Maintence seemed to have the larger number of EMs and ETs.

My general experience has been the same. If you talk to Shift Managers and above, you find many ex-MMs. I don't think the odds of passing the classes is significantly different, but there are alternate routes the ET/EM/ELT tend to take more often.
