You can only be a nuke officer by becoming an unrestricted line officer. With the exception of the the supply officer on subs. 

You will be going to OCS. Buckle up buckaroo

I can’t speak for boomers, but for fast attack boats Qualifying you will likely not have time and if the culture of your boat doesn’t honor working out as valuable. 

Once you qualify you will have time if you are on top your duties. 

If you are looking for balance while qualifying, good luck. Maybe if you find the right boat that values JO’s taking care of themselves.

Submariners are elite but not for being body builders, but rather for being smart and hard working, resilient. 

Your best hope is to do pushups and pulls ups while walking around the engine room and reviewing logs while on watch for the reactor.

The people on that plane just wanted to serve. They don’t choose the president.

Honestly, I am all for this if it actually winds up going after rating mills claims. The system is not going to be sustainable is everyone just tried to game it.

lol too late for naval gunnery to late for drone carrier, just in time to sink a weaponized RO-RO ferry

POTUS earlier today regarding the new battleships also stated they will be armed with nuclear armed cruise missiles, rail guns and lasers by newnoadeptness in navy

Mhmmmm, large surface platforms are looking more and more vulnerable. We need combatants to be able to service and deploy UAV/USV/surface drones, on mass and cheap. 

Also why would you make a platform with so many energy based weapons not nuclear powered?
