how elite is the navy nuke program really?

[Reformed]

It's extremely elite and the school has a high "washout" rate so keep your head straight and focused and you can write your own paycheck when you get out.

I just got into the navy nuclear program, keep hearing how elite it is etc. just curious, how elite is it really? is it really that big a deal?

talking about nuclear power on the ships obviously.

Only qualified people are selected to work in the nuclear program.

My sisters husband works on subs on reactors. He was working 16 hours a day 7 days a week for while until some guy killed himself. He works a lot of hours underway. Heck I work about 11-14 hours a day and thats rough enough. You have to be good at math though its a 90 percent wash out rate school.

Very elite from the information I found the us navy was the first navy and the only navy in the world to use nuclear powered ships
