Its much easier to qualify EWS at sea if you can, there are so many people trying to get it a NPTU dont believe the sea myth about how you can do it there, there is a huge waiting list if you dont have it, but if you qualify at sea you will be put into quals as soon as you show up, which of course makes the list for those not qualified take even longer. Higharchy of quals goes like this Officer students, Enlisted Students, Staff, with the Boats being old and having to be shut down for repairs constantly, it cuts into the training margin significantly. If a student especially a JO needs the praq fac you will get bumped.

Get the degree while you are in, it helps most companies are looking for 2 plus years of experience qualified as EWS to get into SRO class, or 6 years and a techinical degree FYI. Also if you dont finish the degree while you are in you will have to pay out of state tuition for Thomas Eddison and that will tripple the price per class.

Another piece of advice never trust a student, they will screw you in a heart beat and sell you out quick, If your on 626 they will burn you and make a example out of you, 635 you will be alright, if I were you I would tell the detailer that you want to go to 635 the COC is much better there, at least it was in march when I got out.
