Since nuclear power never really took off, being a sonar tech would have actually been better training for a career, at least for me. They got to tinker with way more IC's... Of course, now I bet all ETs learn that. I ended up a R&D electronic tech/field tech/warranty tech for DeLaval, the milking equipment company. That was a fun job. My training is what got my foot in that door.
haha yes, I am a nukie bubblehead! haha
YOU?
Surface, conventional ET. Loved the training and new direction in career but happy to have moved on to civvie life.

Yes, we learned it, but the move has been towards modularity and off the shelf commercial equipment. But being an ET is still a great career start.
