ETN - Electronics Technician, Nuclear Power
If math and science make your heart race, you might have the makings of an Electronics Technician Nuclear. As an ETN, you operate and perform maintenance on the electronic systems that make the reactor on Navy ships run. You must have a superior work ethic, and an intense curiosity for all things in the world of physics. But out here, it pays to be smart. Not only will you get hands-on experience that nuclear techs in the civilian world can only dream about, you’ll be eligible to receive up to a $38,000 bonus for first-time enlistment. Re-enlistment bonuses are also available. As an ETN, you’ll have the power of a nuclear reactor in your hands.
