Here is a brief summeray of what you can find by following the "Word" doc file:
The Navy?s Nuclear Field (NF) program offers extensive training as nuclear propulsion plant operators and technicians to young men and women with aptitude in mathematics and science. The standards for selection for enlistment in the Navy?s NF program are high. People applying for NF training must be dedicated to pursuing the challenge this highly technical field offers. Applicants should be mature, responsible, and capable of working well under pressure.

Qualifications. NF candidates must be U.S. citizens less than 25 years old at the time of enlistment, a high school diploma graduate with successful completion of one year of Algebra, and able to meet security clearance requirements.

Obligation. Active duty obligation is six years. Applicants must enlist for four years and concurrently execute an agreement to extend their enlistment for 24 months to accommodate the additional training involved.

Advancement. Personnel selected for nuclear training enter the Navy in paygrade E-3. Accelerated advancement to paygrade E-4 is authorized after personnel complete all advancement-in-rate requirements (to include minimum time in rate) and ?A? School, provided eligibility in the NF Program is maintained.

Enlistment and reenlistment bonuses in addition to Navy salary, special duty assignment pay, and allowances for food and housing are available. Those who volunteer and are selected to serve on nuclear submarines (men only) are eligible for added submarine duty incentive pay from the day they graduate from nuclear training.

Career Opportunities. Three Navy job specialties, called ?ratings?, are included in the NF community: Machinist?s Mate (MM), Electrician?s Mate (EM), and Electronics Technician (ET). The rating in which a NF candidate is trained is determined at the Recruit Training Center.
