USNA 98. Prior electrician, BOOSTer, 2x nuclear pipeliner. Former submariner, now just a BGO and a dad :)

Son is applying to the big 3 and USCGA for c/o 2026. Mostly been reading posts, but happy to answer questions or engage in conversation.

Go Navy!
 
Thanks. As far as help, just waiting on USCGA EA decision and waiting to hear back from his MoC. He’s also been asked by his RC to retake his CFA, so he’s been training for that (upper body weakness of a xcty runner) - I’m thinking it’s better that a TWE… right?

He’s in it until they tell him he’s not!
 
Welcome Aboard! So as a 2x nuclear pipeliner and BOOSTer, you were both enlisted and an officer on submarines.

That brings a unique perspective to the community. Awesome.

Went through the enlisted nuke pipeline, but got picked up for BOOST (defunct Officer accession program, although I hear it’s been revived in some capacity) before making it to a boat. After USNA, went through the officer nuke pipeline and then my first boat in 2000.

I‘m sure he’d be happy to be on the team, but he’s gots some work to do to be competitive at DIII. He’s the captain of his team, his times are slower and he’s the emotional leader of the team. Not built like a XC runner - 6-5, 170…
 
Welcome aboard. As @Devil Doc said, you bring a unique perspective being a prior, Nuc, and alumnus. As @MidCakePa mentioned, those of us who are just civilian hacks appreciate all that you veterans bring to the table. Good luck to your son, and GO NAVY BEAT ARMY!!!! (AGAIN).
