If you qualify nuke, you WILL get offered nuke, no question. The navy needs nukes really bad.

Also, you are correct, there is a very massive backup of nukes on hold right now in training (there's been some hold ups going on with the prototype sites both in NY and in SC; so a lot of people are on hold). That doesn't change the fact the navy NEEDS nukes bad right now though!

True. I guess it's just things I see on the internet like military cuts and how they are cracking down on medical that make me worry that it will be super hard to get Nuke. Thanks for y'alls insight, though!

Nuke is generally the exception to all that. Nukes are one of the few rates that are undermanned. There's a reason you get a 12k bonus for enlisting nuke and up to a 95k bonus for extending your enlistment by only 2 years plus automatic E4 and automatic E5 for a reenlistment, while the navy is showing other rates the door and pushing the whole perform to serve program!

Yeah, that makes sense now. Hah. Never thought about it like that.
