Naval Reactors

Recently, USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71), Navy Recruiting Command and Naval Reactors had the opportunity to host an Educator Orientation Visit. The visit aboard Theodore Roosevelt provided teachers and education professionals a first-hand look at the incredible Sailors and warships that make up the #nuclearfleet. After showing these educators the #technicalexcellence and dedication of Theodore Roosevelt's crew, they are better prepared to help their students understand the great opportunities provided by the Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program and serving in the U.S. Navy, like the Nuclear Power Officer Candidate (NUPOC) program. #peoplegetthingsdone | #harnesstheatom?
