Oh no.  He has no intentions of making a career of it.  He did think
about it for a time, but decided against it.  He did re-enlist so that
he could spend a few years in upstate NY(teaching at Prototype) and to
go to college on the Navy's dime.  He is an EM-Nuke.  Electrician's
Mate, Nuclear.  Right now his job is electronic control of the nuclear
reactor that drives the sub...he's Scottie...you know..'More Power,
Scottie!'  He intends to go to Rensselaer Polytechnic for either Nuclear
or Electrical Engineering.  He would enter there as a junior as he would
get two years of credit for his Navy schools. He is now 21, and  has 4
years of service under his belt, with 5 years to go.  He should get out
in 2013, when he will be 26.
