MMN - Machinist's Mate, Nuclear Power
It takes hard work and smarts to get you into the reactor room. But if you have a strong interest in math, chemistry, physics and engineering, you might just have what it takes to be a Machinist’s Mate Nuclear. As an MMN, you are the Navy’s nuclear reactor mechanic. It is your responsibility to perform all maintenance on the steam-powered propulsion plants aboard aircraft carriers and submarines to ensure our fleet can move safely. And your hard work can lead to great rewards. As an MMN, you’ll be eligible to receive up to a $38,000 bonus for first-time enlistment. Re-enlistment bonuses are also available. Think you have what it takes to make a nuclear-powered ship run?
