WEll the time has begun. Matt had his PIR on 09/14, arrived at Goose Creek 09/15.

Begins his MM training on 10/03 then onto Nuke training. Matt did fantastic in Basic, is a little nervous about whats coming up but he has his head screwed on right and intends to focus fully.

Most "higher learning" institutions don't grant credit for Nuke training.

Most Nukes with experience of the Nuclear Pipeline can totally breeze through any tech course at any local 2-year college with no sweat at all and get a good head start on a 4-year degree. 

The GI bill subsidy helps a lot.  If your  Sailor wants a serious engineering degree they will have to get it on their own - - credits -- nah.  Knowing the important stuff and the study skills and the self-reliance will get a real good head start on any degree program out there.

Many institutions of higher learning do not grant credit for the Nuke Pipeline.  After completing the Pipeline, my son entered The Citadel with @ 20 hrs. of credit.  

ABET accreditation is key in selecting colleges.  Thomas Edison became accredited in 2010.

Thanks, Bainite.
It's probably a little premature -- my son (ET) only graduates A school next month -- but I like to look ahead.

Bainite, this is great stuff. My son goes to boot camp in Nov. then onto Nuke school. We have been wondering about the schooling and how he can finish the degree after he gets to the fleet. I will be forwarding these links to him this morning. Thanks again.

Hi Joshua C.

Which Edison College?

The link beneath your post went to a 'suspicious area' according to my antivirus software.

Edison College works closely with the Navy and your nuke kids will get significant credit towards a BS in Nuclear Engineering with them. They will be able to take classes once they get their quals out of the way.

The last I heard the Navy would not release the class syllabus for Nuke school. (classified) This results in many schools not accepting our Sailors work and schooling. I don't know if that has changed in the last couple of years or not.

There are a couple of schools that do take at least some of the credits. 

I don't know if any of this has changed is the last couple years but that is how it stood when my son graduated in 2011.

Does anyone know what the graduation ceremony (if any) is like at Ballston Spa? My son graduates this month and has his next duty station (fast attack).
