For officers, the cutoff for nuke is 29. Not sure how it works on the enlisted side.

For being inducted or put into the program? I heard you can't even apply until you get a year of calc and phys w/ calc under your bet.

I just spoke to a DoD employed engineer who told me, predictably, to be a contractor.

Then he went further into detail, apparently nukes in the navy do nothing but maintain everything, despite being trained to do all but design one themselves from scratch, and basically end up babysitting a reactor while under a pile of paperwork.

Ouch.

Is there any actual R&D done by the military itself anymore?
