Chances of getting the job I want?

I heard that the Nuke pipeline is really constipated right now. lol If I were to take the NAPT, pass it, and then go back to MEPS this month, is there a good chance that I would get Nuke if that's what I'm really set on getting?

If you pass it and they offered it, you most likely would get it...just make sure that is REALLY what you want!

If they were to tell me they weren't taking Nukes for some reason, would I be able to tell them I will wait or how does that work?

That's not going to happen lol. If you qualify for NUC you will definitely get it.

You should get a nuke contract..the reason they ALWAYS need nukes is that the wash out rate is VERY high during their school trainings!

Gotcha. Thanks, guys.

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!

It comes and goes here at our training base.
My friends and I all were on hold before A School for three weeks, now there is no hold period.

And inbetween power school and protoype when we go here the wait was pretty long and now it's getting really short.

If you're qualified to be a nuke and want to be a nuke, PUSH HARD AND LONG with your recruiter to get it :D

The rumors going around for grad hold (between power school and prototype) is going to be 4-8 months because NY is going down for maintenance and SC is shutting down for various reasons. The newest rumor I heard is they're gonna start sending nukes TAD to other locations on grad hold. Keep in mind, this is just rumor, speculation, and scuttlebutt. No one really knows what is going on.
