Do you have, or are you pursuing, a college education? Do you possess an interest in advanced technology? The Nuclear Propulsion Officer Candidate Program might be for you!
The Navy's Nuclear Propulsion Officer Candidate (NUPOC) program offers qualified individuals unique technical training, exceptional benefits, and the opportunity to join the elite group of Naval Officers responsible for the operation of the Navy's nuclear propelled submarines and aircraft carriers.
Programs
Opportunities exist to serve aboard submarines or surface ships, serve as an instructor at the Navy's prestigious Nuclear Power School in Charleston, SC, or as an engineer on staff at Naval Reactors in Washington, D.C. Program benefits vary.
Qualified college students can earn a substantial signing bonus and receive a salary of over $2,500 a month for up to 30 months prior to graduation for some programs.
Training
The Navy's highly technical nuclear power training program is recognized as one of the best in the world. For future submariners and surface warfare officers, your exciting future begins with Officer Candidate School (OCS) in Pensacola, Fla. Upon completion of OCS, you'll be commissioned as an Ensign in the Navy and begin your career as a Naval Officer. One year of advanced nuclear power training follows, starting with six months of graduate level classroom training at Charleston, SC. After establishing your theoretical knowledge, you'll have six months of practical training at one of the Navy's two shore-based reactor training facilities in either upstate New York or in South Carolina. Following completion of your specialized nuclear power training, you'll attend the Naval Submarine School at Groton, CT, or the Surface Warfare Officer School at Newport, RI.
Eligibility
Program eligibility requirements vary. If you are a U.S. citizen, attending or have graduated from an accredited college or university in the United States or United States Territory, less than 29 years of age, and can meet basic physical requirements, you may already be qualified. For some programs, you may apply as early as your sophomore year after completing one academic year of calculus and one academic year of calculus-based physics.
Benefits and Rewards
Aside from the great benefits, including an excellent starting salary, rapid promotions, and job and family security, nuclear-trained submarine and surface warfare officers enjoy bonuses and additional pay incentives.
