Welcome Back!
We have
an outstanding opportunity to see a modern application of Science and
Engineering. Brendan and Kristine are Officer recruiters for the US Navy
and have arranged for a tour of one of the most secure platforms in the
world. Ballistic Missile Submarines operate in complete silence in the
middle of the ocean, away from the prying eyes of potential
adversaries. These massive vessels, 560 feet long displacing 18,750
tons, are Nuclear Powered and the officers onboard are trained Nuclear
Plant managers and Submarine Operators, some within one year of
graduating college.
The
trip will start with a meeting at the Navy Office located at 15th and
42nd at 7:30 am on October 24th. From there you will receive
transportation to the Bangor Submarine base and begin the tour of the
base and submarine. Lunch is not provided, but will cost $3.65, and it
is good food! Expect to return to campus by 5:00 pm.
To be eligible, you must:
- Have US Citizenship
- Have completed or are in the process of taking the engineering physics and calculus series.
- Be able to meet with Brendan or Kristine *prior to the tour. No obligation required. Their office is on 42nd and 15th, near MOD Pizza.
- Respond no later than October 7th brendan.tower@navy.mil
