I too suffered from the "lack of motivation" category. You are classic nuke. Scores and asvabs dont mean squat, do well in the program, then brag about it.

forget about studying, it wont help you with anything.

1) send in OCS packages as soon as you can.  you can apply yearly if youre not accepted the first go around.

2) You can put aside any notion of going to college while in a/power school/prototype. I "breezed through", but I would have been hard pressed ...

First off let me say thank you to everyone who posts on this site. This definitely answered lots of questions regarding my situation.

I am currently 24 and living in San Diego. I have a BS in Finance.
Solid GPA of 3.56 with yrs of volunteer service. ...

That's what I'm thinking after reviewing the company's website and talking with their communication director. They seem enthus...

The Units in Idaho will never happen.

Congrats! Too bad they low balled me.

I have my eye on the proposed units in Idaho.

You can start now. Good luck!

I mean from starting the job search from scratch - it doesn't sound like it would be a problem based on the discussions I have ready - but I just want to make sure I don't apply for something and things move too quickly and I have to take employment be...

Can you be more specific on what you mean by application to starting work? I mean..., where? What jobs? Etc?

If you mean operations at a nuclear utility, no, it isn't too early. In fact, some ships have already set sail for this summer/fall class ups....

Learn to CAPITALIZE when appropriate.
Oh and learn to use the search function.

There is a great new campground opening up in about 3 weeks. Has shaded campsites and about 6 miles from the plant on River Road.
If you need info the guy in charge is Dee Melton 803-622-2080. This place is gorgeous if you want to use your camper.

Congratulations Vogtle 3 and 4 on the COL!

Can any one give me info on lodging at Lemrick that is pet friendly?  I just found out that I have to be there on Tuesday..

The only exceptions I know of to receiving BAS while on a sea going command is while stationed on a Trident.  If you live in the Barracks as a single sailor then you don't get the full amount.  If you are married or are receiving BAH and living off bas...

But, don't panic.

This does not affect persons whose M&IE are fully reimbursed.

If you receive reimbursement for business related expenses, either using the actual expense or per diem methods, you won't have any deductions to take from your state or fe...

That sucks, there are a lot of nuclear plants in PA.

It looks like the reactor is critical  .  The "steam Pylons" are putting out lots of scary looking stuff.

I stumbled across this today while going through the 2011 PA tax booklet. For 2011 and forward, PA does not allow a taxpayer to claim the federal meal rate - only actual expenses for meals. This applies to all business travelers including truckers.

Does anyone have information on the TDS measurements pre- and post resin bed? No need for exact figures but a percentage answer would be helpful. Thanks in advance. 

Ctfission, your right using the bender makes life easier when were pulling Lprm's !!

Hmmm i guess thank's  .....

 From what i have been reading and the few people i have talked to its not the curriculum that is the most diffacult but your ability to not give up and give it your all.

 My reasons for asking were only because there is ...

page 1230 has an interesting bit of data on Pb and its effects on 690:

Better Late than never:   View pictures of WM2011, that I just added, here.

Maybe this year I'll take some pictures of the After Parties!

Thanks, although I was thinking further in the future.  Still have 10 months or so left in the Navy.

We're the Silver Beach Hotel in downtown Saint Joseph and we have great outage rates.  All our rooms have refrigerators, microwaves and balconies.  We have a pet friendly floor.
Look us up on facebook to see our rooms and amenities, and then call 866.5...

I just wanted to say thanks again and that I made it to DC. I'm scheduled to fly up there the 21st for the last set of interviews.

p.s. regarding the math, if you get stuck, all the answers are on the multiple choice answers. If you get stuck, move on, and if you have time, go back and plug and chug. Works well for the algebra sections if you can work fast.

Thats kind of what I thought in a round about way, but during the testing breaks I am the only one that worked at a power plant or had NPS as a background. 

Now I realize they may have been people like me from the last cycle that passed both the POSS ...

Join us once again at WM2012, which will be held February 26 - March 1, 2012 at the Phoenix Convention Center's West Building. NukeWorker has attended the Conference since 2006.  View picture...

Antiethical works just as well nub.

Its very easy, and just like the example test.  I would practice doing long division by hand, since you likely haven't done that lately.  There is a good tip somewhere on this forum for the table reading section.  Make a straight edge by folding a shee...

Most of the questions are the same from what I remember. I took the MASS, POSS, and TECH in a two week span. The MASS and POSS were incredibly similar. Tech was stupid easy. (Not what you asked, just sayin I may be "Cross threading"). I just used stand...

Honest effort will pay off. I saw people devote all their waking time to pass and others cruise on through. You will find out right away where you are. It's all up to you.

Do they have any spare 1700 MWt rated steam generators layin around?

Do NOT let them cut your containment.
Just sayin . .

50 quatloos against the newcomer.


On-topic: The books you mentioned should be more than adequate. Not that ALL of that material is covered at enlisted NPS, but it will help focus a...
