They're two totally different jobs.
Also prior enlisted nukes don't necessarily become officer nukes. I know a couple prior enlisted nukes who used commissioning as a way out of the field.

The people I know who went from nuke to something else did so after their first enlistment, but it shouldn't make a difference.

So they will tell you that you can apply for anything but they really want you to go nuke officer. |

http://www.public.navy.mil/bupers-np...20Roadshow.pdf So is there any pay over your standard officer pay going officer or will you essentially take a pay cut for a while? |

My eventual plan is to move to Canada but if I like the navy enough I might stay in the U.S. so I'm planning on guiding my career to build an outstanding LDO packet. I've already been won over by the Officer benefits. |
