Nuclear field - MM

blange94 · 05-22-2014, 09:01 PM

Is this a more shore side duty than sea? Whats the security clearance on this? Is the nuclear field overmanned?

How do you find out how the rates are manned I have found several post about a CREO list but that leads to a hosting error page.

The Navy is always looking for Nukes. The amount that leave after their first enlistment demands that.

Since the Navy also chooses your rating I wouldn't get too hung up on wanting MM. Even though it is the easiest rating of the three to get.

In regards to shore duty for nukes...once you finish all three schools you'll basically be on a sea command for the duration of your first enlistment. At least that's what I'm being told is the "norm" for nukes.

When you sign your nuke contract you don't get to sign for one of the three specific rates. There is a few forums on here that explains the situation in detail but you make a wish list of the order in which you would want each one. Say you put MM, EM, then ET. However, they say it is strictly based on the needs of the navy and they will assign you your rate while in boot.

Is it in boot? I thought i was after the first school so they can see how you're performing.. I hope it is in boot, that would ease some anticipation.

Yes it is in bootcamp that you fill out your dream sheet for which rating you want. Towards the end of bootcamp you'll get a brief on the different ratings and be able to ask all the questions you want about them before you submit your list. You'll know which rating you got about a week or so later.
