Hello,
I'm currently a 1/C MIDN in NROTC set to commission in May. I've had a life long passion about aviation and did all I could to reach my goal of being a Naval Aviator. However, Service Assignment just came out and I got drafted for submarine duty. I am prepared to go to the interview and try my best (I don't believe in "flunking" the interview on purpose). However, considering the Nuclear Navy only wants people who truly want to be there, would I be wrong/rude/out of place to be honest to the Admiral conveying my feelings about being a nuke? If I tell him "Sir, I am willing to serve on a submarine if the Navy needs me to, however I have no desire to be a Nuclear officer." How will this be taken? What will happen? Would I be thrown into SWO? Re-designated with the potential to go aviation? Lose my commission altogether? Any insight would be appreciated.
Details about me:
Aerospace Engineering Major: 3.10 GPA
ASTB - 8/7/8 63
PRT - "Outstanding"
Have been in good standing with my unit since I joined
Thank you
