Thanks for all the advice and more is still appreciated. As far as being a nuke in the reserves, what everyone has said is correct. You can not become a nuke in the reserves without going active duty first. Im still in the dark about exactly what a EOD does per say day to day. I work now as an electrical engineer doing controls work, plc's, dcs's and programming. So as far as the degrees not fitting it, Im not too worried about my degrees matching up with my job exactly. This is mostly about just giving the Navy back 4 years that I promised while maintaining my current career. NR would probably fit me the best but I doubt I can take 12 months off my current employment to do NR training. Second you have be near DC or travel to DC if Im not mistaken.
Regarding the enlistment, I was looking to do something in electronics like ET or EM, but I don't see any electronic type jobs as navy officer jobs.
I forgot about EDO, that would line up well, and this "This is mostly about just giving the Navy back 4 years that I promised" is going to be key in your statement.
NR is very unique, guys go to ODS then serve 5 years, then if they want to stay they have to lateral transfer, NR doesn't have a reserve arm
