ASVAB and NAPT

stevebw · 07-04-2012, 09:56 AM

From the way I see it, I think they're always looking for Nukes. Normally recruiters try to sell that and SpecOps first to people. I'm sure if you talk to your recruiter about it, he/she will most likely get you that rating. Good Luck!

Seems they are always looking for nukes, as the wash out rate is pretty high!

I qualified for the nuke program with an 89 on my ASVAB too. If you're a girl, the ship date will most likely be VERY far out if you even get one at all.

Believe it or not, the MEPS that I went to (Fort Hamilton - NY) I met with one of the Nuke sailors and he told me they actually wanted more females. But ship dates are, however, rather far out.

I'm just REALLY nervous about the NFQT/NAPT. Is it really hard??? My forte is math and I'm a little rusty in physics and chemistry.

When I had enlisted they didn't have any nuke spots open, which is how I got my recruiter to get me to take the DLAB and eventually switch to CTI. The NAPT wasn't bad. More physics than math. And the math that was on there wasn't very fun...I'm more of a calculus girl, but algebra was their angle.

Math was really the focus on that test. I hadn't had a physics class in 2 years now and I passed it with ease. You'll do just fine.

We have a shortage of nukes in the fleet, we need them bad, so a contract is definitely doable, the problem is there is a major backlog of people who have graduated power school and are waiting to go to prototype. This is the cause of the far out ship dates, class up at prototype taking so long. I remember when I left it was about a 6 month delay to ship, no idea what it is now.
