    We took it senior year and I really didn’t know about it at the time. I must have flipped some switch because every branch started calling, and a navy recruiter actually came to my house wanting to talk about nuke school. I was like I don’t want to bomb anyone with nukes thank you very much lol.

      NPS ‘nuke school’ focuses mainly on shipboard nuclear power plant operation, like nuclear powered subs.

        I read that as “nuclear powered studs” and was thinking “about right for navy”

      I took it, had an army recruiter show up a year later and asked to speak with me. My mom said I had already enlisted, the guy goes, “Oh, we already got em?”

      “No, the Navy did, he left for bootcamp last fall.”

      Also had my recruiter step between the Navy MEPS guy and I to tell him to fuck off and find me a job I wanted. He would not let the nuke thing go, and my recruiters already knew I had no interest and backed my other job choices. 😂
