Reenlistment bonuses
I know that reenlistment bonuses are offered to enlisted sailors in the nuclear field but what happens if you decide you want to go officer? Are you still offered enlistment bonuses, because if not wouldn't it literally pay to stay enlisted?

You could reenlist ....and then pursue the officer career path. But otherwise, to answer your question, no. The bonus is purely for reenlistment and retention. However, I know officers have a bonus involved with Nuclear Power, but I don't know if prior enlisted are eligible for this.

Officers get paid more every month, if that's all you're interested in...

They're two totally different jobs.
Also prior enlisted nukes don't necessarily become officer nukes. I know a couple prior enlisted nukes who used commissioning as a way out of the field. |

So they will tell you that you can apply for anything but they really want you to go nuke officer. |

My eventual plan is to move to Canada but if I like the navy enough I might stay in the U.S. so I'm planning on guiding my career to build an outstanding LDO packet. I've already been won over by the Officer benefits. |
Yes, there is an annual incentive pay for nuclear officers.
