You have decades of navy experience from literally all walks of the navy, enlisted and officer, gently caress even a co telling you you're a loving idiot but you think you know better. We aren't doing thus for fun, we're doing it to help you. I feel like this happens every time we get a nuke wannabe in here. It never ends different, but it still happens. At least your recruiter will get a pat on the back lmao. Edit: There was a paragraph of careposting here but gently caress that.

I finished Tech core at self-paced NIDA bullshit. I took my sweet rear end time and 19 weeks. At the end of it, they sat us all in a classroom and the ETs came and gave a speel the the FCs showed a video of the CIWS with no locking bar lighting up a beach of some deserted island and accidentally blowing up a water buffalo thing. Half the class chose FC then and there. This was 2003 thats how I became an ET

I swear to gently caress you are a moron. Dude when you off yourself at least have the decency to make it look like an accident so your wife gets the death benefits.

I am not in the military. I have no plans to join the military. Even I recognize that when everyone other than your recruiter is saying, “Don’t do this,” and giving you personal examples of what they know and how they know that this is a terrible idea, and even just using straight logic to point out how you can figure out that it’s a bad idea ($100,000 signing bonus), its a loving bad idea. Even I, having never been in and with no plans or designs to be in, know you’re being a loving idiot.

My Nuke roommate apparently went to DRB today because he was SIQ for a few days so naturally he didn’t come in on his duty day yesterday. Reasoning was his chit didn’t say he couldn’t stand watch. It was dropped, but the fact he had to wear his blues and get yelled at...

Hi, I have no deeper knowledge of the US Navy, but let me add: In my 16 years of reading SA I have never seen a thread disagree that hard and unanimously with a choice. Let that sink in.

A large group of people tell you earnestly that you will probably fail out of this program and if you succeed will hate every second of your life for years with a significant chance of a bullet to the dome as your exit strategy and you take it with a "golly gee folks guess you're gonna have to laugh at me later." You have enough time to save yourself. There are zero people that come out of the nuke world that say "aww, it wasn't as bad as it was hyped up to be."

I have fewer regrets than most of the people here, but I got out in 1992, when it wasn't as lovely of a place.

PneumonicBook posted:Self paced turns into move at the quickest pace possible to completion so the schoolhouse numbers look good, which leads to memorization of the material needed, and lack of actual learning or retention.

Godholio posted:How is this different from any instructor-led classroom training in the military? I've been at great lakes for both and in my professional and dumb navy opinion, instructor led is better with the caveat that it's entirely dependent on the instructor and both the vetting and removal process regarding instructors are basically non existent other than sexual assault. Forgot to mention earlier that the last nuke I met transferred to the reserves as an ht and was incredibly happy. About being an HT.

There's also the nonzero possibility that he's exactly the type of person that fits in perfectly as a nuke, for whom this life is not stressful. A robot or something. Idunno, not a human, that's for sure.

There is no one for whom the life is not stressful and miserable. Some just tolerate it better than others because they're autistic and monotony works for them.
