Lots of changes since I went through Nuke Pwr School in Bainbridge, MD, 68-2 back in 1968. School was 8 months long, then 8 more months at NPTU in Ballston Spa. D1G was being refueled, so did S3G instead. Best thing I remember most was Moe's Sub Shop in Port Deposit, MD. Best friend to this day met his wife in Fiddler's Green one evening, and still married to this day. Most of those in 68-2 had college. Some even with 4-yr degrees. They did not want to be an officer. There were two of us just out of high school among all the "adults" in the class. 6yrs, 3mos, 28days later discharged exactly to the hour in Long Beach, CA. 4yrs and 2mos in #1ER and RX on the USS Truxtun DLG(N)-35 had us see almost every emergency and casualty procedure from MM A-school, except for a major steam leak. Even went dead in the water in the Tasmanian Sea while doing emergency training. Scrammed both reactors after the EOOW in #1 told the EPCP operator to switch load centers following a simulate major steam leak in #2ER. Dead bus. Too late. Was on upper level ER watch leaning on the LP turbine casing when I heard the main engine start to wind down. Was talking to a young 17yo non-Nuke kid who caught the ship in Perth. He was asking me what would happen if #2RX went down. I said we'd go dead in the water. Almost simultaneously that's when the main engine wound down. That young 17yo kid eventually years later was head of the IT Department at the Johnson Space Flight Center in Houston, TX. Dozens of stories. Should write a book. Scariest was when the EPCP operator tried to sync a 30Hz TG with a 15Hz MG set. It looked like the CTG jumped about a foot off the sub deck mounting simultaneously creating an energy ball that totally cooked the breaker just behind the TG workbench. We were told if the energy ball had come out of the breaker housing it would have bounced around the deck and may have killed us. Also, shot of water into a 10K SSTG totally wiped the Kingsbury thrust bearing clean of all babbit, leaving a deep blue burn in all the individual thrust plates. And, loss of main lube oil on main engine drill, engaged jacking gear but shaft started to turn before the locking plate could be engaged. Brass worm gear actually drove the gear to the jacking gear motor turning it toward 10K rpm before it blew apart. Pot metal was found all over the engine room, even by the DFT and Feed Control. I was just recently qualified on lower level ER TG watch. Amazing no one was killed with all that metal flying around the ER and the Still operator, Alan Souza (Maui, HI), standing directly above the jacking gear motor on deck grating. Dozens of more stories about what happened in the ERs over those 4 years and 2 months. Came aboard as an MM3. Discharged as the MM1 ERS. Great experiences to say the least. Definitely memorable! Would be interesting to visit Nuke Pwr School via SKYPE to answer questions from new Nukes these days.

I have nuke friends that are now CPA's, pharmacists, physicist, a friend that works for NASA, and a few that work for power production facilities.

So I have a 3.9 GPA in Physics and already have my BS. I am currently going to a Ph.D. program in nuclear engineering, they decided to disqualifies me because of a college transcript that I have when I was 18 and was in a dark place of my life. I joined the Air Force to turn myself around and get a degree at a different college. I never got a grade of under a B since I joined the Air Force 6 years ago but they are going look at my transcript from 10 years ago to tell me that I am a poor student with horrible academic record. I try explaining it to them that this was a bad time of my life and I have change so much since I enlist in the military and would like to continue serving my country in the Navy. They told me that they will only look at my cumulative GPA and that they are doing me a favor since I would not be able to survive course work at Naval school on my poor academic record. Me having a 3.9 Physics degree, know that these people does not know how to listen.

@@caposolomon8745 well, you do sound like so many nukes I have met in the past. In fact I refer to those individuals as the archetypal nuke. It is actually a shame that you did not get into the program, because pass or fail you would have learned a very valuable life lesson. As mentioned in other comments, success or failure is not 100% about grades, but academics are in fact what gets most people. Something else I learned during my subsequent 32 year career as a nuclear engineer (with only a NPS formal education). All US institutions of higher learning are not equal. (I sort of had a hint of this when one of the biggest rocks I came across in my time as a NAVY nuke in fact had a degree in nuclear engineering from Penn State). Anywho.. If you are a Ph.D from MIT or Cornell, etc. that is one thing. If you are Ph.D from elsewhere, maybe that is something different. Based on those I have met, even MIT is questionable in my mind frankly. One other thing to be aware of since you mention GPA. Nuke school uses a 4.0 scale, but not in the typical manner of a high school or university. It's an absolute scale. Each class is graded on that scale, then there is a comprehensive exam (which covers every topic in the school) that is graded on that scale, then there is your overall grade which is the your total points earned for the entire school including the comp divided by the total points possible. For example, a 3.90 score in NPS is 3.90 * 25 = 97.5% which means you would need to get 4,875 out of a possible 5,000 points over 6 months of school. That's an average of missing a total of only 21 points a month over 4 exams at least 2 hours in length per month .. It's not the same as a 3.9 GPA in HS or college. Also to note, with the exception of math, there is no "partial credit" on any test or exam. An answer is either 100% correct, or it isn't so its easy to lose points. In math, you can actually get a correct answer, but if you do not show all work, or used an incorrect procedure to solve, you get no points.

I have a really good job in the federal government doing engineering law at the moment. It has always been my dream to commission and do nukes because I think it's the best source of energy. I sacrificed much being enlisted in the Air Force, and to hear that they don't even care about my service was a big hit. I had worked really hard to get my degree while having to deal with a full time enlisted blue collar job and the toxicity that comes with it. I worked really hard to keep my GPA high and was counting down the day I could be a Nuke officer. It was definitely hard to hear that I'm not good enough, considering the sacrifice I had made. I made many videos on my channel explaining that I had been trying to commission for 3 years and I had served for 7. I had many people coming on to those videos telling me to give up.

I am not very familiar with the nuke officer program or the pipeline out of it. I just know that for subs, junior officers just finished with officer nuke school. They learn to manage front of the boat and engineering and qualify to be line/command officers. Then after their first tour they do other things like work at Naval Reactors, etc. I remember Naval Reactors being the governing board for nuclear ships/boats for the Navy as well as a testing center for new equipment and technology. I am not sure about your path directly to a non sea command. But you probably would need to go to sea or a sea command to be a line officer and be engineer for a propulsion plant for a carrier or sub.

As a Navy Nuke, we were made to think we were God’s gift to the Navy. I suspect it began in the recruiter’s office and continued through Nuke school. Naïveté! My advice, get rid of the ego. Today, I think I would smile (I am now) if someone bragged about their ASVAB, Nuke test scores or how many flags they won in boot camp. Yes, Nuke school was tough. I cannot imagine how much easier it would be with access to KZbin, Khan Academy, etc. There are other careers in the Navy that are just as difficult and in high demand. On a carrier, one soon realizes it’s all one big team. Respect them all. It’s amazing what is happening on the flight deck every day. There are others on the ship just as smart or smarter than you. Others may not be as book smart as you but they know more about their job (planes) than you. Be wise! Prepare Before Nuke School I read another post where the person said not to prepare. I disagree, 1000%. Study all you can, especially math. In “A” school (EM) I had a tough time with “order of operations”. I had not seen them in a long time. I did not have Google, KZbin, etc. I had to get up and go to the instructor. I got really frustrated. Years later, I taught DEV classes at a community college. The math was not hard; it was the rules (order of operations) that people had forgotten or never grasped. Now, many of them were going to be nurses and they had math requirements. I also taught HS advanced math and science (AP Physics). I once showed a video that showed the importance of math and how one could cover ALL HS math in 3-6 months. My advice: Go back and review, refresh and learn HS math. Go to Khan Academy and begin in K-gten and go as far as you can. You may be surprised at what you learn (or relearn) in 6th grade math. I’d say the math in Nuke school is not super hard; however, it may be super hard if you haven’t gone back and relearned some things. I had HS students that didn’t know the multiplication tables. First thing, I gave them a test on it. They knew them after that. Know that, what is 14x14? Know basic algebra... manipulating equations like I=E/R. You will prob see that equation even if you are a MM. Do not waste your time before going to school. Make a plan and spend time studying. Know Sine, Cosine, etc... know the formulas. Know how to use a calculator. It would NOT hurt to start memorizing things. One can increase memory. It’s like a muscle. You will be required to memorize things and just know things, especially in prototype - “draw the reactor coolant system”. Getting Kicked Out Most people I knew that got kicked out were kicked out for drugs (marijuana) or underage drinking. I played basketball a lot... it’s amazing how many former Nukes I saw handing out basketballs. Nuke “A” / Power / Prototype Some did great in “A” school but not in Power. I knew one guy who thought he was God’s gift to intelligence in Power school but did poorly in Prototype. Later on the ship, it seems he got in serious trouble. I did average in “A” school, better in “Power” but excelled in Protype. I could have been an instructor. I quailed 1st I think. Not bragging just worked hard and good timing. Joe R I remember Joe R. He was quiet and focused. He would come into Power School and sit down. He started working and 45 minutes later he put his books up and left. He was never arrogant, that I recall. I think he must have had some of the things previously in a college class or had a really good Physics teacher. Others messed around... laughing, etc. we were there till midnight while Joe was relaxing watching a movie or getting rest. My last advice : If you can go in as an officer ... do it. Let the Navy pay for your college. If you can go to college instead ... do it. There is a reason most people are 6 and done. Seek the Lord early (Psalm 105:4). Nothing else matters more. Salvation is in Christ (Acts 4:12, 2:38). USS Enterprise (CVN-65) 1989-1995

@@maxwellgubler9618 Congrats on getting into Nuke school. For math, it is up to college algebra but they do go over the math that you will mostly use in A school. If it is a weaker subject for you, I would practice. Its not tricky stuff but they do go over exponentials and log/base 10 stuff. For the other subjects, I will tell you it is really helpful to know basic chemistry, thermodynamics, heat transfer, fission process, decay half life and the formulas that go with it. It makes understanding some of the courses much easier. I didn't have a science background before becoming a nuke and I was a bit behind understanding the concepts. It wasn't until I took college courses in the sciences after I got out to fully grasp how much those classes would have helped. And depending on your rate (et, em, mm) learning a bit on power, current, magnetism, electrical and electronic components will also greatly help. Good luck with everything.

The world can open up for you if you are successful and finish your time as a nuke. But the program is not easy. If you want a challenge and have the discipline to study hard and go through many stressful events, I would suggest it since it seems you are going into the Navy anyway. Might as well make the most of it if you are putting in the time. Don't worry so much about the ASVAB score. There are plenty of successful nukes with scores in the upper 70s. If you can work hard and study hard that is much more important than what a standardized test says. You can also prepare yourself for the nuke program by studying up on your math, physics, and chemistry. Learn up on basic electronic, electric, and mechanical principles and you will make your life easier in nuke school. Much of this can be found in a college algebra textbook, college general physics, and college chemistry book that you can self study for. One of the most successful nukes I know had an ASVAB of 88, joined right out of high school, and had an A school, power school GPA of 3.0. He did great as a nuke. He now is a lower level executive in a multi-billion dollar energy tech company just 12 years out from finishing up his time as a nuke. The nuclear program opened up a ton of doors for him and his company hires nukes all the time making great money. Hope this helps. The decision is yours though, you know yourself the best. Good luck to you.

To be frank, it will be really hard to finish a science degree while you are in the pipeline as a student. And in the fleet as well since most likely you will be out to sea for long periods of time and working. It may be 4-6 years after joining that you will have time for school as a nuke at a shore command. If you are seriously considering a physics degree, you should start it now and then consider the Navy afterwards. Physics and other science degrees require brick and mortar schools to be worthwhile. The labs from those classes can't really be done online for an accredited science degree and you will need that accreditation if you want to be taken seriously and work in physics.

I was originally looking into being a corpsman and am putting that on the back burner as I've heard that advancement is slow and currently not in high demand. My recruiters have been pushing me towards the nuke program because of my ASVAB score, however, I am reluctant to sign into the nuclear field as I would like to hear more about the daily life on the fleet? I hear it is rough but the enlistment bonus is very tempting and was told that career opportunities are 'endless' after finishing the contract, so I'm trying to do as much research as I can before signing because everyone's said that it's a very hard job but you're compensated fairly for it? What was your experience with this? Do you also know anyone who went the officer route after A school? *I read into several of the comments and your replies; I saw that you got your degree using the GI bill and have plans for medical school (congratulations!)* I was wondering if you could provide some insight as to how were/are career opportunities in the nuclear field after you finished your contract (or for anyone else you've known)? Sorry that my post isn't the most concise -- I've wanted to be a dentist ever since freshman year of high school and had a change of heart after getting my BS in Biology this year and although I've been exposed to STEM courses, engineering and the like haven't been on my radar until now so any and all input/advice is very much appreciated!

My friends from the nuke program range from CPA, pharmacists, executives of fortune 100 companies, and a CEO of a company. Many have gone into commercial power and make really good money. People actively search for nukes. If you have a degree they will probably push you for an officer program. Officers do not get into the nitty gritty of working on equipment which I think they lose out cause they won't be experts in the technical aspects of engineering. The expertise an enlisted gains is what translates so well outside the Navy but officers do get paid well and have a better quality of life. Hope this helps. Again, sorry I missed your post.

Hey man how was the culture in the navy? Especially being an Asian American how was it in there? I recently finished college with a chemical engineering degree. Wondering about enlisting or officer. Thanks a lot for your story it was really helpful

Will Yu if you have your degree, would go the officer route. Many more options available for you and better pay. I am done with the Nuke side and working on becoming a medical doctor.

I got a 74 on my asvab and I got 254 on my NUC(VE+AR+MK+MC) score which makes me eligible for the nuke program without taking the NAPT but my recruiter wants me to retake the asvab. So that I can get a EL(AR+MK+EI+GS) of 252 also because it was too low. If i got high enough scores on both of these what are my chances of getting into the program because I am going to be a senior in high school next year and my grades have not been good for my previous years.

RustCakes You should try to take the asvab again if you can. Mid 80's would be good. Its hard to tell you your chances to get into the nuke program because it changes depending on the needs of the Navy. But the better the ASVAB score the better your chances. Also if your grades are not that great, you can get waivers for that just try your best this year. Good luck on your nuke journey.
