They can say that, but you won't know your nuke rate til boot camp is almost over. The thing is that you get to pick your preferences, and then they look at your picks and needs of the navy to assign you a rate as either MM, EM, or ET nuke. In boot, 50% of you will be assigned MM, 30% EM, and 20% ET. If a lot of people want MM, you may not get it. Usually though, most people are gunning for ET (highest reenlistment bonus). When I went through, I requested ET and I got EM. Boy, am I glad to be an EM now in hind sight. Any nuke though is something to be proud of, its a great ride. There's a few of us on here who are nukes, so don't be too shy to ask questions about it, or boot in general. Nukes for some reason love to talk about nuke stuff.
