When I was looking into the nuke program, I was told I would be a few credits shy of an AS degree. That's why I said "nuts to that". Basically I'm stuck with nukes. Maybe you could get a job at a nuclear plant or some other military job, but I think you're stuck with nukes unless you go back to school again.

As a fellow Navy Nuke student, I can understand your concerns about your future career options. The good news is that your training and experience as a Navy Fireman at NNPTC will open up a wide range of opportunities for you in both the civilian job market and within the Navy.

In the civilian job market, your skills and knowledge in nuclear technology will be highly sought after in industries such as power generation, engineering, and even healthcare. Many companies value the discipline, technical expertise, and strong work ethic that comes with being a Navy Nuke, making you a desirable candidate for various positions.

If you choose to stay in the Navy, you will have the opportunity for advancement and leadership roles within the nuclear field. The Navy also offers various programs and benefits for continuing education and training, which can help you further develop your skills and advance your career.

Ultimately, the decision of whether to pursue a civilian job or stay in the Navy will depend on your personal goals and priorities. I recommend talking to your chain of command and reaching out to other Navy Nukes who have transitioned to civilian careers for more insights and advice. Whichever path you choose, your experience at NNPTC will serve as a strong foundation for your future success. Best of luck to you!
