@nostalgiaquest being a nuclear engineer (lol)... oh I believe you...just that you're actually was a nukeboi
Yup. For about ten years. It’s way less cool than it sounds. Basically involves blindly memorizing and regurgitating a bunch of manuals. Very little actual engineering l. But I got to see some cool shit and travel a lot. Did time at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, Naval Air Station North Island, Command Fleet Activities Yokosuka, and Bangor Trident Refit Facility. I used to look out my office window at Bangor and watch them training actual dolphins and seals to patrol the piers, and these big ass elephant seals used to battle each other for positions on the back of docked subs, since I guess it was nice and warm there. Was always a shame you couldn’t bring cameras into the restricted areas.
