nukes in boot camp

BTW, nukes aren't "required" to take second class exam, just most do because we're allowed to, and it doesn't hurt. Even if you don't advance off it, you get points from having a previous exam the next time you go up for the test. Only 1 or 2 usually advance before the fleet off the exam. If you get staff pickup at prototype and sign the 2 year extension you get automatic E5 and can start taking the test for E6 sooner plus get the big old bonus for extending. If you wait to extend til you're in the fleet and you happen to sign your extension while on deployment in a combat zone (ie the Gulf) you'll get that sweet old bonus TAX FREE
