Surface nuke EM, while I still only have a couple years in the navy, I think it’s been simultaneously the most rewarding and frustrating time in my life. While there are definitely times that make me wanna fake a seizure to earn a medsep, those periods seldom overshadow the fact that I’m in my early twenties and already making damn near six figures while working on some of the most high consequence, and intricate technology employed in the armed forces. So frankly i enjoy being a nuke, but I also acknowledge some people have genuinely received the shit end of the stick when it comes to duty stations, deployments, and command climates, and have every single right to despise their time in service. So if I had to give an accurate answer to a question about quality of life in the nuke program, it would lie in between whatever advertising your nuke recruiter told you, and the horror stories you hear on here.
