I was a nuclear trained machinist mate in the United States Navy. Back then it was the equivalent of 3 years of engineering crammed into 6 months of school with 6 months of on-hands training.

I went through the nuke pipeline back when they educated you instead of training you. I guess I am a relic of the Rickover era. We were taught the HOW & WHY it works. Unfortunately, they do not train people like they used to train us.

What do I do now? I fix cars. I am, admittedly, overtrained for the job but I enjoy my job.
