The U.S. Navy is recognized around the world for its exacting standards in science - particularly in the nuclear field. If you think you have what it takes to lead a team with billions of dollars worth of equipment at your command, accelerate your life as a nuclear-trained Officer.

Nuclear trained officers are hands down the smartest officers in all of the military. The extensive training program includes a year of Nuclear Power preparations in order to qualify you as Engineering Officer Of the Watch of a real Nuclear Power Plant. After you have proven yourself in the engine room, it is time to step up into the control room and become Officer Of the Deck of a 2 billion dollar submarine. As OOD, you will be in charge of the submarine during missions that require a top secret clearance just to mention what body of water you are operating in. The demands and the responsibilities are high, that is why they only choose the best.
