@tylermacias- I was at an open house at VMI recently and I talked to a Navy officer at the ROTC presentation. He said something about that, too. I was looking to major in history or English, so that's what I'd be working with if I were to go into the Navy.
I am a mechanical Engineer , doing my masters in systems Engineering., I don't know if I should get it, I am undecided, It looks awesome and I want to learn, but I don't know if it is the best career, path since its a long time commitment ! please tell me your opinions, help me decide
@JgHaverty .... They have to learn more than us enlisted folk have to. They have to learn what all three (4, technically, if you include the ELTs) know. While they may not have as good understanding about the systems in depth, they understand the relationships quite a bit better than we do. At least, that's what I've seen here on the GW. And don't take anything anyone in PAPERCLIP says seriously. They're all just unreasonably disgruntled sailors without the ability to think optimistically.
I applied for the Pilot NFO and swo, and I am only selected for swo. I heard that the life is extremely bad for the swo. what is your opinion should I join the swo
CraftLulz An engineering degree, preferably in chemical, electrical, or mechanical will almost get you in. Other STEM degrees are acceptable as long as the curriculum includes a year of calculus-based physics and a year of calculus.
Engineering, physics, chemistry, and mathematics are most preferred. However, any major is sufficient as long as a year of calculus and calculus based physics has been taken.
Unfortunately, this video gives you little to no idea what you actually do as a Nuclear Reactor Officer or Enlisted operator. Granted, that's because they don't want to say anything classified...
The only question I have is just how do you refuel the reactor when they need it. More to the point is how do you report the flue rods from the outsides to the engine room without contaminating the whole ship!? I have been wrestling with that question for better apart 3 decades!? So "How if you can't tell me I understand"!
It has to do with the power, or heat, you can generate and the associated position of the rods. If the rods are all the way and you are producing no heat, you have no fuel. The relationship is between rod height and the 'power' you produce by tracking certain elements of the reactor. A fuel replacement is a very intensive exercise where they basically open a huge hole in the ship to pull them out. It would take a long time.
Nukes are the most abused rate in the navy, the only reason people do it is to get experience and make a lot of money working at a plant when they get out.
@DMCFARLAND08 and you are HIGH out of your mind if you think JO's need to learn ELT shit. All they need to know is chemistry specs and what happens when you get a salinity alarm, thats were they stop.
@DMCFARLAND08 Sorry, but no watch officer knows more about whats going on then the leading enlisted folk. The senior officers are QUITE astute on the plant, but the enlisted folk definitely run the show. I know I've saved my last watch officers ass more then a few times because she was going to do something retarded. You arent talking to some random dude. EWS qualified, stood CRW though, 6 and outer.
I’m pretty sure that the curriculum between enlisted and officers is vastly different at nuclear power school. Enlisted focus more on practical skills (how circuits and electronics work, general reactor engineering, etc) while officers have a much more rigorous mathematical and theoretical curriculum that focuses more on nuclear theory (thermodynamics, physics, calculus, differential equations, etc). So I’m pretty sure that nuclear officers know much more about what is actually going on “under the hood” than the enlisted folks, but should a problem arise, the enlisted sailors are probably much more equipped to solve it than the officers are.
@@Brassard1985 Im pretty sure you have no idea what you're talking about. You're about 20% correct. The officers at naval reactors (A different thing) are what you're describing. sincerely, - mmn1(sw/aw)
JgHaverty Gotcha, I just got accepted into the Nuclear Propulsion Officer Candidate (NuPOC) program, so I am very new to this world. I’m still a college student, so I haven’t been to OCS yet. So yes, I will admit that I do not know what I’m talking about.
Thank God, for people like this! Go Navy!
US carrier fleet is the cream .thanks all the guys for doing a fantastic job..from UK
I love water too.
Matter of fact, my entire body is made of 60% water!
Navy is great in carrying out the Plan of the Day. Navy embodies honor courage and commitment. Not everyone qualifies to join the Navy.

That would be fun for me. Unfortunately, we have no nuclear ships in our country. My country has no ships
Pretty sure that dude's backrest cover says "Captain Nasty"
I just got accepted into the nuke program today!
How was the program and are you satisfied with your position?
My best friend is considering it
It’s not too late to be a radioman. In a couple of years you will thank me. Former Et2/SS
Hey man I leave for boot camp next week going as a nuke how did things work out for you?

Do you have to have a Bachelors in engineering to do SWO-nuke?

The Navy is what I'm made for.
Would I be able to apply to this program with an electrical engineering degree
Definitely.
That’s not how that works but yes.
This is what im training for!
Are they teaching them how to prove all 7 of maxwell's equations??
@JgHaverty ....what?
i am hopping to do there's some day
ACTUALLY...... The RO operates the reactor.
How to get into a good university in Nuclear engineering. I am having a GPA of 3.0
you don't need a nuclear engineering degree to become a nuke officer.
that said you will NOT be competitive with a 3.0, sorry!
+JgHaverty that's not true, if you do well on the Asvab and the ACT or SAT, you'll be competitive
Christian\ Richardson You have no idea what you're talking about, sorry.
Also, naval officers don't even take the ASVAB.
Nukes are the most abused rate in the navy, the only reason people do it is to get experience and make a lot of money working at a plant when they get out.
GO NAVY

Who's my daddy boy. Yep. That right
officers looks so fake, actors? (facial expression training,I'm into the theater world)
@807mikey ah bitter enlisted folk. Officers dont know shit about the reactor. Without the CRW's it would fall to shit :D
Its funny how staged this all is.
@JgHaverty ....what?
