For enlisted Nukes, you have STA-21 (thats the high acceptance rate one, though its not 90%, its just really really high compared to the other STA-21 options for nukes) and the Naval Academy. Each has their own requirements and timelines. The academy has started recently, and STA-21 applications come out around february every year.

STA-21 is generally the best shot. As a side note, I defer to my recruiters wisdom (which is fairly right on), you won't get it first time around, its the 2nd time around the board will take notice of. But again, STA-21 is a MUCH higher pickup rate for nukes than anyone and is your best shot at officer.

If picked up, you will go to training at the War College in Newport, RI and then you will go to a college of your choice (you pick between 18 schools) with some form of math or engineering major. Once you have your degree its on to NPS and Prototype then the fleet as an ensign.

There are a lot of posts on here about STA-21, you should check them out!

Thanks so much! I'll definitely check those posts out!
