NAVY NUKE OR CTN????? HELP ME PLEASE!!?

Question

Hi, my name is Chris and im 18 years old and im currently in the Delayed Entry Program (DEP) for the U.S. Navy. I have been in DEP since March 17, 2008 and I am scheduled to ship out to BT on December 4th. I am having some issues dealing with my recruiter and the job I have chosen. I originally chose the CTN rating as my first job but my recruiter told me i had to test into the NUKE program. I successfully passed the NUKE entry test and I am now in the NUKE program. After looking into the NUKE program a lot more I have decided that the program really wasn't for me. I did not graduate with my class in high school and I have read about how hard the school is. I asked my recruiter if I can switch back to my CTN rate but now he is giving me the run around. I basically told him that if I don't get out of NUKE I'm not shipping out. I also got a tattoo while in DEP (big mistake) on my chest and now my recruiter is telling me that it might effect my job change. The tattoo is easily concealed when i wear a shirt and it has no gang affiliation or anything bad... just some simple writing. I can tell my recruiter is trying hard to keep me in the NUKE program but i definitely do not want to be a NUKE. If you can help me out and give me some advice that would really help me a lot. Thank you.

Oh my Gosh!! I signed up for CTN and switched...well am trying to switch to Nuke too! I passed my test but there are no Female seats avalible right now. :\ Any ways, I would go talk to The chief in your area about it since your recruiter is being stupid. Im sure there is a way to get around it, but you did sign a contract. Best of luck to you! Perhaps if you chose Nuke I'll see you in school! :)
