Gimcrack posted:I'm in prototype in NY right now (MARF, enlisted) if anyone has any questions about it. Former Marf student here as well. As for the people failing prototype: we had about ten enlisted drop from my class (806) due to either sadding out or failing and we had about five-ish officers and one civilian EOOW student fail. So it happens.

Kawasaki Nun posted:Just got a nice long talk yesterday from my boat's EDMC about my intentions to get out in two years and persue either college or a career in civilian nuclear power. I'm currently a fully qualified EM and am working and intend to finish both QAI and EWS/EDPO prior to getting out. Nukeworker.com is a pretty good resource for nuclear related jobs, people there would probably be able to help out a lot.

Mr. Doom-Baddy posted:It does suck, but its primarily because I'm sick of my diva classmates. We are in one of the higher GPA classes to come around and they are all cocky as gently caress. It gets old dealing with them all the time. When we get new class organization it'll be a fresh change. I'm also tired of the content we've been learning and ready to get on with Comp. Hate to break it to you, but it's pretty much going to be the same throughout the pipeline whether it's grades on a test or number of checkouts you got that day.

MonkeyFit posted:Thank you. I just found out I'm stuck in indoc for a while longer, so this is the best time to get all my poo poo in order. It's uhh, interesting here. Any good advice other than develop good study habits and keep my uniforms in order? Make sure to try and fall in with people who study and are pretty squared away. This way you can keep each other honest, and the more sat you are...typically the less bullshit gets thrown your way. I would recommend taking one of each uniform to get pressed and tuck them away for inspections. As for studying, just make sure that you find something that works for you and keep with it. If you have questions, don't be afraid to ask. There's a whole lot of poo poo to deal with at NNPTC, taking the extra time to get decent grades and having a good uniform/BEQ room will save you from a lot of the other bullshit that they could potentially throw at you.

Perpetual Demise posted:Totally agree. From my experience being the 'super sat sailor' it just caused more work especially once you got on board your boat. I was the first one qualified on my boat out of my group, and I was consistently given ridiculous amounts of work while my slacking shipmates took their sweet time and did pretty much nothing. If I could have done it again, I would not have tried to get all the quals done ASAP, but then if I could do it again I probably wouldn't have gone subs either. Btw that's not to say that I regret my time on board. I don't How were your evals compared to the slackers'?

So did you go to BM A-School (do they even have one)? If so, was it awesome?

Snowdens Secret posted:SEO is just SRO's log & coffee bitch / extra rover anyway. Probably needed you for the DC watchbill. I was the EDPO during this phase, but it really just turned out to be the command not wanting to put the effort into stationing a phone talker instead. Luckily our logroom yeoman wrote an instruction the command bought off on and made life easier for people.

Ron Jeremy posted:How does nuclear officer incentive pay work past the initial obligation? Is it a lump sum bonus for additional obligated years or does it work differently? Is it different for submarine vs surface officers? For sub officers I'm pretty sure it works like this: You have to qualify Engineer, which happens after you've been an Engineering division officer for >1 year and have your fish. Once you have done that and are near the end of your initial tour you can sign your contract for a maximum of 7 years. The pay is 30k a year and if you sign on for 7 you get an extra payment. I'm not a sub officer, but I've been kicking around the idea of OCS and asking our JO's about that kind of stuff.

Cousarr posted:Sub JOs work really long hours and get poo poo on all the time. Make sure it's what you really want to do and you're okay with this. This is the truth. I've seen carrier enlisted go submarine officer and not be able to hack it because of all the extra work required (submarine enlisted to submarine officer typically have higher success rate, at least in my sample size). The person who is going to see the upper end of that hours scale is usually the CRA (chemistry/radcon officer).

Shipyard sounds badass before you're in it. After the honeymoon phase (dead electric) it becomes the worst, most toxic environment imaginable and people prayed to go underway.
