The shortage apparently didn't stop the Admiral from denying 3/27 people who went to the interviews today.
(Yes, I got in).
Congrats to you. My question is how did those 3 lucky individuals manage to dissuade the Admiral? :icon_tong

Basically, the only way for the Admiral not to give his stamp of approval is to act like a tool. If you have a reasonable answer to why you want to be a nuke and a self-accountable/learned my lesson explanation for any booboos, then he lets you in.Congrats to you.

I don't know if it was before/after they projected a shortage. They hold these interviews a few times a month (one for academy, one for ROTC, one for OCS guys, and perhaps some other occassions, to), so my guess was that the large size of the pool this month was due to the backlog from the holidays finally evening out.as that 27 before they realized that they were short people or after. Also do you know if there are people that are going down for interviews now?
this might sound stupid but why is everyone so scared on nuke?
thank you, my recruiter has not tried this but he's actually been pretty straight up with me through the whole process but others have tried to tell me that i'd be a better officer if i went enlisted first
My son was verbally told he got SNFO about two weeks ago. Last week he was called into the CO's office for a thirty minute recruiting talk on Nuke. He was told to think about it and to fill out the application for Nuke. Here's my question. Should he fill out the application? He said he was ordered to do so. By filling out the app. does that make it appear he is interested in Nuke, and therefore someone they can push toward Nuke.
Any advice as to what he should do? He does not want to go Nuke.
I think it's moreso that you have a pool of people who don't want nuke being forced into doing it. If your dream is to be a Naval aviator, and suddenly you're told you gotta spend your obligation as a SWO or on a submarine, you wouldn't like that very much, would you?I'm new to the navy i'm in the DEP program but i ship out AUG 21/08. I qualified for the Nuclear engineer program but I have also just received the NROTC scholarship (havent gotten into college yet). this might sound stupid but why is everyone so scared on nuke?
If you do some searching on the site, you'll find that the general consensus is that this is not so. They are just different jobs.thank you, my recruiter has not tried this but he's actually been pretty straight up with me through the whole process but others have tried to tell me that i'd be a better officer if i went enlisted first
