Think i know the company. My navy nuke background got me into the pump industry too. Thomas comes to mind. We helped them on some ITT-AC parts manufacturing probably 10-15 years ago.

That’s quite a lot more than what they offered us in the early 80’s.

When I did it, it didn’t work that way. You went from boot camp to a-school to nuke school to prototype. The path is clear-cut, or was. I did get a break between nuke and prototype for a month, got to work at the recruiter office in Bon Marche while waiting on class in ID to start.

Then he is well on his way, just keep the hs gpa up, too. All that said, don’t discount the common sense as well. You have classroom first, where some don’t make it. But then you have the prototype phase, and this requires the ability to actually use the a-school(elect/mech) and nuke school training in a hnds-on application.
I am 67 now so I know things have changed, but I give 100% credit to my time in as to who I am today. The training alone opens up so many possibilities.
I did it. Was an MM2/SS nuke billet, ‘77-‘83.
Someone posted earlier, as was at the time I was in, you could go the machinists, electrician or control tech route. Nuke school was in Orlando at the time, either 6 or nine months think 6. In that timeframe you pretty much get 4 years of core college degree education. After classroom, did my prototype phase in wonderful Idaho Falls, ID. Rhen onto SS new construction. After getting out I worked nuc generating stations around the country for years and made excellent money. The education is top notch, the food is fantastic.
High asvab scores and college prep hs courses - calc, physics, chemistry- are very beneficial to getting accepted.

Something for sure has happened.
Given their recent history I kinda understand it, but in this interview he seemed on the verge of launching into orbit and Huckabee was very uncomfortable.
That said, feels like the River Tucker is changing course.
One of the most bizarre interviews involving tucker and huckabee i’ve seen. I have no opinion , just bizarre.

That said, our wonderful governor is pushing Hammond hard.
IN house passed s bill today.$2B involved
Portage, IN has come on strong in the last 2-3 weeks as well. Their proposal is including building a new and/or expanding harbor access, donating hundreds of acres of land as well as expanding surface access in the area. That said, our wonderful governor is pushing Hammond hard.
I personally prefer Portage, but any of the 3 are ok. Hammond is in Lake County, the overall tax rate there is higher and the population density is also higher than Portage, which is in Porter County. Gary obviously has issues but it is amazing the improvements that have been made in the last 24 or so months.

He’s already looking to expand his buttered sausage franchise on the lake
So let me see that list of broken shite please.

That’s what we did for years. Much easier for her to not have to figure out casting or using built-in apps etc. She is in her prime, let her enjoy her time. You should be able to switch up the package some to lower costs.
Green Grass Again
Posted by ValZacs on 2/12/26 at 1:58 pm
The snow has been melting away for the past couple of days and the grass is showing.
The winter grass in North BTR would always be brown this time of year, it’s nice to see green.
