Chances of getting the job I want?

As far as ELT..my son was offered it, he turned it down as he just didnt want anymore training time and wanted to get to fleet. Now is buddy he enlisted with was offered it as well, he took it..he is currently on a sub. It seems those that are extremely high in the class standings ae the ones that are offered it, another family here from my town, her two sons both went nuke and both got ELT.

As a side note, for those not aware, only MM's can become ELTs. If you're an ET or an EM you CANNOT be an ELT.

They're at their desirable manning levels. So it will basically come down to (like most ratings) the number of open billets.

I heard that the Nuke pipeline is really constipated right now. lol If I were to take the NAPT, pass it, and then go back to MEPS this month, is there a good chance that I would get Nuke if that's what I'm really set on getting?

If you pass it and they offered it, you most likely would get it...just make sure that is REALLY what you want!

If they were to tell me they weren't taking Nukes for some reason, would I be able to tell them I will wait or how does that work?

It comes and goes here at our training base.
My friends and I all were on hold before A School for three weeks, now there is no hold period.

And inbetween power school and protoype when we go here the wait was pretty long and now it's getting really short.

If you're qualified to be a nuke and want to be a nuke, PUSH HARD AND LONG with your recruiter to get it :D

The rumors going around for grad hold (between power school and prototype) is going to be 4-8 months because NY is going down for maintenance and SC is shutting down for various reasons. The newest rumor I heard is they're gonna start sending nukes TAD to other locations on grad hold. Keep in mind, this is just rumor, speculation, and scuttlebutt. No one really knows what is going on.
