Career In Meteorology

Meteorology Career and the Navy.?

I am about to go to MEPs and all that. I know that you pick a job once you take the ASVAB, and see what is avaliable for you. Lets just say I earn high enough that I can have just about any job I like. I am interested in the Science field. I have read the summary on the Navy website and alot of it deals with Nuclear work and some Meterology and Oceanography. My question is, if you pick this job do you have to work with Nuclear and go to nuclear school, or can you just work with Meteorology and Oceanography.

1. Go down to a Naval Base and talk to the soldiers. Know your options before you sign. Anything you want, be sure it is in writing or it will not happen. Good luck, I did 20.
2. The field of science isn't a job. It's just how they divide all of the career paths up on the website. If you want to be a nuke and have the ASVAB scores to back it up, you'll be dealing with nuclear stuff pretty much exclusively. If you want to sign up to be in weather, you'll be dealing with weather and oceanography. What I'm trying to say is that there are specific jobs (or "rates" as the Navy calls them) within this category, nuke and weather are just two of the choices.
