Looks good to me. And it really doesn't require much to operate on a reactor. That said it isn't really something you can strike for as an undes seaman. But I will allow you to be an MMNFR (E-1)

The end goal - to die gloriously in a reactor related incident - remains the same so it'll work great!

Well. In 1 plant, people are gonna start dying very very quickly. Steam is great for opening your pores, but not your lungs. Or skin. Or any part of you for that matter.

Also, here's the discord I'm making so I can poke you guys more efficiently and put out news and stuff without bogging down the OOC/Recruiting thread.

I just fixed it. I forgot to copy the Discord part of the hyperlink.

A nuclear battleship?  :o  Fleshed out naval terminology and rates?  :o

Spoiler: Magnus Sorn (click to show/hide)

Side-note, could help to explain difference between rank/rate if the fluff matters that much (it might not).
Absolutely love this. I assume you were a submariner at some point, what with calling it maneuvering and not EOS. He's gonna have a fun time out there. Nice touch with calling up midrats. That said, having midrats sent to Maneuvering would likely mean he doesn't care much for the rules (despite it not being written down anywhere) and would likely not be stopping anyone from gundecking. Still, I'm fine with that, some of the officers I know are weird with what rules they enforce or don't.

I'll add that difference for rank and rate since it is kinda not commonly used outside of nautical nonsense.

Also, if you want it to be maneuvering, then pick a plant. There's one per plant and both report to DCC where the EOOW actually is. If you're in Man, then you'd be Watch Officer (which is more fitting with the rank, but not unheard of for O-1 and -2 to get qualled EOOW).

Not quite a submariner (yet, anyways). Just a pesky midshipman. Most I've ever done is feed the shaft seals, but I spent most of my time on cruise back aft in engineering talking to nukes and spending midwatch in maneuvering, so I know a little of the lingo, at least  :P

Are you / were you a carrier nuke? I was wondering if you were an even crustier specimen from the age of the battleship but then I realized that the engineering set-up for a battleship would probably mimic that of a carrier, if such a thing existed. Regardless it's cool to see the differences. Subs only have a EOOW position, and no other officer watch positions in engineering really, given that there's only ever about 10 officers onboard. It's usually the first thing you qual and you're typically an O-2 when you do since you get promoted in power school.

I am indeed a carrier nuke. I'm a MMN3 with nearly 3 years out of prototype. I learned aboard the USS Samuel Rayburn (MTS-635) and the USS Daniel Webster (MTS-626). I'm presently stationed aboard the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN-69) I've been on 2 deployments in 2 years (not very common in the carrier community). I've changed the layout a bit. Frame numbers ain't exactly what they would be on my ship. I am a very salty 3rd class, tho. The rest of RM can attest.

You're a submariner? Badass, dude. The only community I know of where you can get dolphins. Sub life ain't for me but I have huge respect for the silent hunters man. Hope you had fun tracking. Heard the Russians can't keep a quiet sub for shit.

Is there a waitlist? I have been watching this for a bit and it seems fairly interesting. Also discord isn't working again, at least for me.
