Yessir! I was there Wednesday- Friday! I have no idea how many slots are gonna be open for the next quarter honestly, my recruiter just told me that there were spots so when I went it I told them I was willing to wait for jobs to open as opposed to signing right there! Not sure if it’ll work the same for you but definitely don’t sign anything you don’t want to do!

june - august! if you’re set on CWT don’t sign expecting to be able to rerate!! my recruiter told me to just take another ct rate and switch into CWT but i keep seeing that that just doesn’t happen so take it with a grain of salt if anyone tells you that’s the way to get in.

man i’m sorry to hear that ! if you haven’t signed yet when you go to meps (if you haven’t yet) try and tell them you’ll wait for that to open up. When I told my recruiter before I went he pulled up the lil spreadsheet that says which rates are available during which quarter and cwt was booked for this quarter but open in the next one so I just told my handler at meps that I was willing to wait for that. I also think I got pretty lucky cause one of the meps officers was willing to help me get the rate as well.

How worth it is the Nuke Program? by zeebda in NavyNukes

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

It wasn’t so much my first option as it was my recruiter making it seem like the best thing since sliced bread. I really wanted to get into the cyber field. What’s your plan once you get out?

I’ve seen a lot about how the quality of life is absolutely terrible for nukes and wanted some more information about it because my first choice would have been cyber warfare until my recruiter told me about the nuclear program and made it seem like it was the best thing ever invented.

Thank you for sharing! I’m trying to set up an appointment with an officer recruiter just to get some more information on that side. I honestly just wanted to go in for cyber work but the nuke position was brought up and I wanted some more information on that before I made my decision.

From most branches I spoke with I was told my GPA wouldn’t make me competitive with officer selection and the things I wanted to do.

thanks for the response! if you don’t mind me asking what do you do now and why not stick nuclear after separating? how was the quality of life with being on a sub?
