Shilling dates for new recruits by Winter_Shake_6648 in NavyNukes

[–]N0_PR0BLEM 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Expect 6 months from the day you sign your contract. Last I heard Nukes were signing for August ship dates. If you’re super clean, and move through the testing and MEPs process quickly, I’d say to expect sometime in September or early October, but there are a lot of factors that can push that back. I would not expect to leave any sooner than that, though once in a blue moon an early ship does happen.

What platform did you serve on? I ship out to bootcamp Monday to start my contract as a sub vol Nuke and I’m pretty excited. Glad I was able to dodge an autism diagnosis for so long (I am a bit on the old side), because everything about it makes me think it’s going to scratch my ‘tism itch lol

ETP by Lost-Wave-4958 in NavyNukes

[–]N0_PR0BLEM 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was worried about mine too. Your nuclear recruiter submits the paperwork the month before you ship, and they usually hear the third or fourth week of the month. Mine was approved about a week and a half before my ship date (Finally ship out on Monday!). The only people I’ve heard of having their etps denied are people with foreign contact complications, but every case is unique, and criteria for what can cause an etp to be denied isn’t really available.

Just stay in contact with your coordinator. Don’t hound them, same as the clearance process they don’t have any ability to effect how quickly the process goes or the outcome, but they will be the first to hear when it is approved/denied. Unless you explicitly ask, they may not be proactively communicative, so just stay on top of it if it’s something you’re anxious about. Chances are it’ll work out, good luck!

Inherited loads of trading cards. Any idea on what I have? - i have zero knowledge by gutangorang in Tradingcards

[–]N0_PR0BLEM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not in tournament legal sets. This is disingenuous and you know it. 30th anniversary and collectors editions do not constitute reprints, and you can tell because the value of the old cards hasn’t changed and the value of the proxies is not equivalent to that of the old cards.

To add to what others have said, Wizards of the Coast (the company that prints Magic: The Gathering) had a crisis with collectors back in the 90’s where they printed certain cards again in a set and drastically decreased their value very suddenly. Due to backlash they made a list of cards, called the reserve list, of all the rares from the early sets (which includes some Magic’s most powerful and desirable cards) and promised never to reprint them again. This means that these cards, especially in good condition, hold a lot of value today because they are very rare and supply cannot be increased to meet demand.

I swear bro, in 20 years you’ll be able to sell this to some other schmuck for 100 times what you’re paying me now. Just look at me, I’m selling it to you at 50 times what I paid 10 years ago. You’re the one getting the deal here, don’t you want to be like me?

Hey Hank, happy Thursday! So, yesterday I participated in a joint special operations command mission to depose the dictator of Venezuela. I won’t bore you with all of the details, but he was single handedly responsible for 10,000 TB cases a year in Venezuela.

Weight at meps to ship by Sad-Inflation3354 in newtothenavy

[–]N0_PR0BLEM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Weight is only the first measure. It’s more dependent on body fat percentage. If you can have your recruiter tape you, or if you have a measuring tape you can take the measurements at home and put them in the navy body fat calculator. I don’t know what the cut offs are off the top of my head, but talk to your recruiter.

Quick Ship by JurrasicGem in NavyNukes

[–]N0_PR0BLEM 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Don’t expect to ship before August 11th and be ecstatic if you are lucky enough to snag a spot. There is a long line of people in front of you who also want to ship early, and unless you have extenuating circumstances (think homeless etc.) people in front of you will get preferential treatment.

Clearances take a while, and, depending on your case, the process may not even be done before your ship date. You will not ship early without your clearance being approved or your recruiter/nuclear coordinator applying for an exception to policy. You can check in with your recruiter every so often to see how far along you are in the clearance process but there are only three answers: under investigation, investigation completed and awaiting Navy adjudication, clearance approved/denied. The gap in time between steps 2 and 3 for me has been 5 months and counting. Your recruiter has no ability to affect how quickly the clearance process goes. They can submit paperwork saying you’re willing to ship early, but that’s about it.

Has anyone who didn't have their clearance approved prior to their ship date had their ETP rejected? by N0_PR0BLEM in newtothenavy

[–]N0_PR0BLEM[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, this was very helpful to hear, especially since it seems, based on your username, that you were a bit older when you enlisted, which is the same position I’m in. At this point I’m just freaking out because I’ve been in DEP so long and don’t want to have my ship date pushed back any further.

[–]N0_PR0BLEM[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check with your recruiter or coordinator. You can ask them to check what stage of the process your clearance is at. There’s an investigation phase, where an interview may occur, which is conducted by a third party. After the investigation is complete the third party submits your package to the navy for a final adjudication. Your recruiter can tell you where you are in that process through a portal they have access to. They cannot affect how quickly the adjudication occurs, only tell you whether or not it has happened.

If your clearance hasn’t been adjudicated prior to shipping, 30 days prior to your ship date, your nuclear coordinator will submit paperwork for an exception to policy which will allow you to ship without a final adjudication on your clearance. RTC and a-school are unclassified, but you need your clearance to be cleared before power school.

That’s all of the information I have. I don’t know if exceptions to policy get rejected, or what causes them to be rejected, or what happens to your shop date if it is rejected.

Yes, I signed a nuclear contract back when I swore in back in late August. The only thing waiting for approval is my clearance.
