WTF are you talking about, let me guess some one told you a story about how all nukes have no common sense. well if you believe that then u are among the rest of the stupid fucking navy fags who arent nukes. try forming your own opions from personal experiences not some one esles. FTN

 

SRB?

 

some kind of signing bonus...?

 

I agree with S13wannabe about the choosing your fate. I also agree with most everyone else that there is some redeeming aspect about each job that we all do. Of course the other 95% usually sucks!

 

selective reenlistment bonus i believe it stand for, I got a few dollars and like someone else allready said choose your rate choose your fate. Most of those guy hat get high SRB get the worse jobs, but then you also have a few that get it easy.

 

As an old guy....(lol).... I just retired as one of those "nukes"....20 years as a submariner with 16 of those years here in Norfolk. Some nukes definitely fit that stereotype.....luckily I was one of a few that could turn a wrench (old school with my Dad and his musclecars). Now I get to play with my Infiniti G35 Coupe and use my experience to build it up the way I want.....Supercharger next. It's amazing what Naval experience crosses over to customizing cars... SRB was nice, but retired pay and a good consulting job is better....glad I stuck it out.....whew.

 

late reply, but anyhow........."cough, cough"
I served 4 years on board a nuclear powered submarine where 50% of the 130-140 member crew were nukes, thank you very much dick-face. I think I know what I"m talking about.

 

so you saw them every now and then, did you hang out with any cause most of the non nukes on my boat are fucking idiots and have no common sense. im not saying that all nukes have common sense. but i would say that on average i would trust a nuke to do any job over a conventional.nor am i saying that all non nukes are idiots but most are.

 

I know plenty of nukes (didn't know Steve was one though), I even live with nuke-waste. There are plenty of exceptions to the rule as always, but the ones with sense are few and far between, noone can deny it. All have to be smart as HELL, but most people that are that damn smart just don't have anything left for social skills and common sense. Thank goodness for those exceptions however, so the nukes on here don't need to get defensive to me.

 

well, this is kind of a ridiculous discussion to begin with. Nukes aren't essentially "stupid". If they were, they wouldn't have the particular rate that they do. They're book worms. Their first 1 1/2 years or more on board a sub, they spend reading reactor and and related equipment tech manuals. So, when it comes to normal world situations, they always seems to try and apply nuclear theories to it to solve the problem, which doesn't always work, making them seem lacking when it comes to common sense. This is my opinion after a 4 year observation, when I had to qualify to get a sub warfare pin, about 50% of it dealt with equipment in the engineroom, so I spent a significant amount of time back there talking to them.
