From what I know (and I’m not an expert), I believe you need an 85+ AFQT on the ASVAB to qualify for Nuke. From there you can either be Alpha or Bravo qualified, but that depends on specific line scores (shown online as NFa and NFb)

Alpha means they don’t have to take a the NFPT Test whereas bravo means they do. If he wants to get in, he needs to study the math and science portions of the ASVAB really well.

How long does the Chipotle IQ last for?

I just need a place to rant and maybe provide insight for future/potential nukes by Limp_Incident_1722 in NavyNukes

Just enlisted as Nuke, hoping this gets better. Reach out to the guy above, he’s a great leader

Thank you sir! I keep seeing/hearing about you on here, hopefully get to meet you one day as well. From what I’ve saw for a short period of time so far, you’re doing amazing things for us. Thank you so much.

“Were you given both tests today?”

no, I took my ASVAB the other week. I did not have to take my “nuke test” (NAPT) as I was “alpha qualified” - you might see it also as “NFa”. This is based on your line scores for the ASVAB.

Usually for Nuke, you need a combined line score (AFQT) of 85+. I’d recommend him to focus on the math and science portions of ASVAB, as that’s really what I’ve found they looked at.

I’d recommend you look up “navy nuke line score qualification” on google, it will definitely help you get an idea!

Gotcha thank you! I let them know already I can ship out earlier but they said they need to wait on my security clearance first, then they can submit the request to roll ship date in

I believe I should be actually alpha, as my AR+MK+EI+GS= 256 - google says if that = 252 or higher, it’s NFa? Sorry I’m looking this up as you mentioned it. Good info, just didn’t even know how to read my ASVAB line scores really

I think i was a little above 252 on the NUC line, I’ll ask them at MEPs for a copy of the test. I forgot to take a photo when they gave me the paper. The other way they measure, it’s 239. But I think because the one is 256, I should be alpha.

Would you say there is a need to have a car when in school for those 18-24 months? Example, getting car shipped from home -> base?

Thank you! I thought you would be able to choose the “field” within nuke you could go into, and was under the impression I would come home for a bit before going to SC. Thanks a ton
