AI Thread Summary
Life in A School for Navy Nuclear Enlisted personnel is rigorous, with a focus on technical training that can limit free time for activities like working out. The duration of A School varies, but students should expect a demanding schedule. Submariners typically have fewer opportunities to visit foreign ports compared to surface sailors, which is a significant consideration when choosing between the two paths. The STA-21 program offers a route for enlisted personnel to become commissioned officers, and interested candidates should review specific application requirements and guidelines. Understanding these aspects can help new recruits make informed decisions about their Navy careers.

Hi everyone,

I am about to go to basic training before going in as a Nuke. I was hoping if I could get some answers to a few questions I have. What is the life like in A school? How long is the school and how much time do you have for other things like working out? What are the major advantages of doing either surface or sub? For example, as a sub you wouldn't get to port in other countries I'm assuming. Also, does anyone have any experience with the STA-21 program (Seaman to Admiral)? Really hoping to understand how to apply and what I need to do to get accepted by this program. Answers to any of these questions would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, I'm currently trying to compare theoretical results with an MCNP simulation. I'm using two discrete sets of data, intensity (probability) and linear attenuation coefficient, both functions of energy, to produce an attenuated energy spectrum after x-rays have passed through a thin layer of lead. I've been running through the calculations and I'm getting a higher average attenuated energy (~74 keV) than initial average energy (~33 keV). My guess is I'm doing something wrong somewhere...
