I've got a few questions. Why isn't he still in the Navy? How long did he serve? What was his job on that boat? What makes him think he is somehow so special as to threaten people in this way?
I'm just asking questions here.
A nuclear officer runs the power plant operations, and by runs the operations, I mean "does what the enlisted people who actually run the power plant say."
Being a nuke is one of the few roles in the military where you are explicitly told to contradict the officers while on duty, especially as you have likely been doing this for years. The navy really, really, really doesnt want it's own Chernobyl.
So youve been doing this shit dor years, and then these 22 year old college seniors fresh off keggers and ROTC come in and sometimes think they know "how things will work." The non stupid ones listen and learn quick. The stupid ones get trained the hard way, but they all get trained.
So basically, if he wasent one of the stupid ones, he was technically in charge of running a nuclear power plant, supported by a large group of highly technical people. if he was one of the stupid ones, he was constantly and steadily manhandled into doing the correct action by smarter and meaner people who gave no shits about what bars were on his shoulders.
I can guess which.
Lmao navy nuke.... Where toixicity brews and stagnates and festers. Those guys are really mean and hate life/each other.
Amen. Its a terrible job, that's way too fucking difficult for what you make.
Between the years of intense training, rotating shift work, filthy/loud/hot enviroment, constant drills, ongoing technical training, testing, maintenance, qualifying and high pressure break/fix, it's a real shit show. The job just beats you and beats you until you're enough of an asshole to start beating it back.
It's a systemic issue that the Navy doesnt care about. It does explain the 3% re-enlistment rate for the role though. When 97% of a rate opt Navy wide to end their military service after their initial enlistment, it ain't the peoples fault.
