If IT or CTT is what you're interested in, try to get one of those rates. You will make good money in your Navy career so don't let the Nuke bonus sway your decision-that money will pass over time and you might be stuck in a career that you hate. Go for what interests you & what you think you will enjoy doing everyday.

From a mother of a veteran sailor that was a nuke...DO NOT GO NUKE UNLESS YOU WANT AND LOVE THAT TYPE OF WORK! You will be miserable if you take it for the money only..it is one of THE most stressful jobs in the navy and the highest in suicide rate!

I couldn't say it better myself. My recruiter is pushing for NUKE, but I aint having it. No $$$ could keep me away from what I want to do, which is a field in IT or CT. Seriously.
