Navy ROTC Submarine Officer

[wulaw]

When a MIDN does this it is no mystery to NR. The units of those MIDN are contacted and it does not go well for that MIDN. I am a 2/c studying mechanical engineering. I submitted my application last month (the earliest someone can apply for the interview is after the first semester junior year) and got a May interview. Also, CAPT Duncan from OD1 (nuclear accession) came to my unit last semester and I was able to have a one on one conversation about the interview. They can ask questions on any class you've taken, but from the five people whom I've talked to who have interviews over the past few years you will most likely get a question involving finding volume of an object using calculus, analyzing a circuit using calculus, and simple physics questions. I was advised as a ME student I will probably get a fluids type question.

Good point. Interviews can occur as early as Junior year, as you point out, for MIDNs who are really interested in going nuke (including things like Naval Reactors). I should have said that interviews generally occur in January or February for MIDNs "selected" for nuke - but they can occur as late as April, it seems, post ship selection. They interview all of the Academy and ROTC nuke officers, so they have a lot to fit in. One thing is certain though - trying to fail the interview is a bad thing.

Good luck Spartan - you'll do fine. One thing they will certainly ask is "Why do you want to be an nuclear officer?" Have a good answer ready for that one....

Thanks everybody for all of the input. I wasn't expecting this many responses. I feel that I know a lot more about the process now.
