they merged torpedoman with MM rating on the submarines.. your either a MM-Wep, or a MM-Aux.. i talked to my leading recruiter today and he again told me that i'll go to submarine school following bootcamp.. then go onto whatever training (wep or aux) they the navy puts me in.
The MM-AUX is a Machinist Mate (MM), assigned aboard a Navy submarine, who specializes in maintenance and repair of auxilary equipment. MM-AUX are specialists that work to maintain and operate the different submarine mechanical systems, and non-nuclear related operations systems in air, refrigeration, hydraulic, atmosphere control, diesel and plumbing systems. You cannot get a guarantee for this rating. You can volunteer to become a Submarine Machinist Mate, and you are assigned to either MM-AUX or MM-WEP (Machinist Mate for submarine weapons) during the training pipeline.
