He'd be happy to answer any questions you might have. BTW, my co-blogger Jon graduated from NUPOC a few years ago and then did a stint on a nuke boat.

I am currently working on my B.S. in physics, really like firearms, and care about politics. Your blog appeals to all three of those interests. I have been able to figure out my next steps by keeping my eye on my end goal. Bruce Wilkinson's <a href="http://www.brucewilkinson.com/resources.html" rel="nofollow"> "Dream Giver"</a> was a huge help to me. As for Navy Nuclear Power School, I also was strongly considering going into NUPOC. NUPOC offers opportunity for teaching, research, or a line officer. This seems like it would be great for you, if you don't mind being tied to a government on a downward spiral. I hope you find what you are looking for. God Bless. P.S. Thanks for your service to our country. First of all, thanks for the awesome blog. I am currently working on my B.S. in physics, really like firearms, and care about politics.

Get the gov't to pay for your masters and Ph.D. Maybe you can teach at West Point for a few years. You will have your 20 in before you know it. Go back in the Army as an officer.

Or maybe Raytheon or Allied Signal ? I dunno, I suck at math. :) My former roommate got his Doctorate's in E.E. and is now in the L.A. area working on spread-spectrum radio stuff for the Navy/TRW after working in the industyy and going overseas for two years, so maybe the urge to get the big degree ain't that urgent.

He went straight on for his Ph.D. and then did some post doc work at a government lab for a few years. I guess after that he decided to enter academia. I know that's not much of a description, but I only have vague information since I split with him right before he finished up his Ph.D. and I finished undergrad. It took me several years before I thought of him again to Google him. :) I once dated a guy who is now a prof over at ASU in chemical engineering.
