Wanted: Navy Nukes!
December 16th, 2008
Ever heard of Bechtel? I have been hearing great things about the company as I was growing up because my Father has worked in the nuclear industry for almost as long as I’ve been alive. You may not have heard of the company but there is a very good chance that this company somehow effects your life positively everyday. You see Bechtel Corporation has been building everything from roads and railways to power plants and airports both domestically and internationally for decades.
Well, with the resurgence toward nuclear power just beginning in America, companies such as Bechtel are starting to put together the teams of professionals it will take to build new nuclear power plants that will be the electric power producers of tomorrow.
Already “Nuke Navy” friendly, Bechtel has nuclear trained naval officers at very senior levels and throughout it’s organization and if you listen closely you can hear the cry, “Wanted – US Naval Nuclear Propulsion Trained Personnel!”

The Navy announced yesterday that it will be merging the Storekeeper (SK) and Postal Clerk (PC) ratings. The new rating, Logistics Specialist (LS), will keep the current SK rating badge. The PC “A” school functions will soon be moved and incorporated into the SK pipeline at Meridian, MS.

OK, that was bad, in all seriousness this rating merger makes complete sense. BZ to the working group! (Read the rest of the story…)

Navy Nuclear Power Program
November 14th, 2008
Members of the Navy Nuclear Power Program (NF) receive an excellent education via an extensive classroom theory, on-the-job training and practical application and qualification process second to none in the armed forces. Navy “Nukes” become propulsion plant operators for both the nuclear submarine and nuclear surface ship operational and support programs.
Basically to qualify for the NF program you must meet regular enlistment eligibility plus have a “traditional” state-accredited high school diploma, have successfully completed one year of high school or college level algebra, be a United States citizen and be younger than 25 years of age by your shipping date to recruiting training. You must also meet the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB)/Navy Advanced Program testing requirements. Prior drug usage and police involvement, where not necessarily disqualifying, will make entering the program difficult – see your Recruiter as some things can be waived for outstanding candidates.
Once your time in the Delayed Entry Program is completed expect to experience the NF pipeline, moving (Read the rest of the story…)
