Exam cheating scandal hits Navy nuclear force
A yet-unknown number of instructors has been removed from the U.S. Navy’s school for operating nuclear reactors following reports of cheating, top Navy officers revealed Tuesday. If found guilty, those who participated will likely be kicked out of the Navy.

Adm. Jonathan Greenert, the top Naval officer, and Adm. John Richardson, the head of the Navy’s nuclear propulsion program, revealed details of the incident at a hastily organized press conference Tuesday afternoon, after having just learned of the reported transgressions less than 24 hours prior.

News of the cheating at the Nuclear Power Training Unit in Charleston, S.C., originated from an instructor who reportedly was offered answers by fellow instructors and refused, Richardson said, opting instead to report it.

Richardson declined to quantify how widespread the certification cheating could extend, citing the ongoing Navy Criminal Investigative Service review of the incident. He estimated less than 1 percent of the Navy’s 16,000 current sailors who have passed through the program could be involved.

Obama has wiped out the Air Force nuke team now he starts on the Navy


Greenert said Thursday he did not believe this latest incident is related to the Air Force case, which Pentagon officials have said likely stemmed in part from low morale there. Nuclear officers in the Navy do not suffer from similar pressure to get perfect scores to ensure continued promotion through the ranks, Greenert said. U.S. News & World Report

Nobody will be left to man our nuclear force. Evil plan to leave us defenseless?

No this is not Obama, this is the way it is in the nuke navy. Cheating or a breach of integrity is treated just slightly less than treason.

Every test has an "integrity" statement at the end that requires a signature after the taking the test and after scoring of the test. Failure to have integrity in nuke land is the same as a SEAL not being strong physically and mentally.

Do you think it's possible all these people are cheating? Seems like a huge stretch that that many would have to cheat to pass and that higher in command wouldn't know or care

I think this is an important story and has become a trend. Who fills in for these people when they are removed from duty? Is there enough personnel to cover?

So this outfit that was implicated is an actual operating reactor onboard one of two old missile subs that are moored in Charleston. They are used for hands on training of new students before they actually report to an operating sub or carrier. The two subs are treated the same as an operational sub or carrier. The training and testing is the same and the watch rotations are essentially the same. The only real difference is the boat never goes anywhere, and there are new students to train and qualify every other month or so. When a batch is qualified and ships out another new batch shows up from across the campus from nuke power school.

Most of the instructors are chosen from various commands and are typically the top performers. They are held to a higher standard as they are training the newest of the new nukes sailors. One new instructor from the fleet may have sunk a cheating operation that was ongoing. I would bet good money that the command higher ups did not know. However they are probably very sorry now that they do as their careers are now in jeopardy. People who teach at nuke A school, power school, and prototype are the top 5% of all the nukes. I am glad I'm not there. The shit storm would be fantastic. Disqualifications across the board with naval reactors personal breathing down everyone's neck. Better them than me!

Not a problem. They will just transfer a hundred mossad agents from the white house to fill the vacancies.
