Some might also want the sense of prestige that comes with it. But from what I've heard, the Nuke Officer training pipeline is exponentially harder than the enlisted one, so the challenge itself could be a good draw as well. There's plenty of reasons to go the officer route as a Nuke, it all just depends on the individual sailor.
