To make a long sad story short, about 2 years ago I interviewed with Admiral Bowman for a power school instructor position He said he "didn't think I would enjoy" the position, but didn't seem to question my knowledge, and even invited me back for an interview as a sub officer. That didn't work out, and since then I've enlisted as a CTI. It's been good to me so far (about to take the E5 exam after just 18 months), but I still haven't forgotten my dream of being a nuke instructor. I understand there's a new director of Naval Reactors, and I know how I did the application process as a civilian, but I don't know how I'd do it now. I'd certainly have to brush up on my math and physics, and maybe retake the OAR. Any helpful knowledge or advice out there? Think my dream is achievable still?
