Thanks for the quick help.

I started out navy nuke enlisted, then commissioned in the Air Force through ROTC. The Air Force has me doing program management now, not real engineering work.

Passed! First try, nuclear in Kentucky. I think I'll be the first nuke licensed in the state of Kentucky.

Agreed.

Takes too long to get new movies, though.

The $8/month Netflix is the best thing ever. Use it on the Wii, Xbox 360, iPhone, laptop... was great to be able to retreat to the guest room at my in-laws and catch a good movie over their WiFi.

I need a new F5 key...but I passed.

Well...did you pass???

If you had recently finished graduate school, you could get by with minimal studying...maybe one or two practice tests. I wouldn't try it without taking at least one practice test.

My personal opinion is to only take in references that you've studied with recently. I wasted about 10 minutes fumbling with a book that I wasn't very familiar with.

Now that you mention it, about 5 times... Weird, huh? So glad I passed!

Congrats!

I was a ChemE undergrad with only a few nuclear graduate-level courses. Bone up on shielding calculations, dose/dose rate, and the ANS study guide is a good investment. You should have no problem. I'm thinking of trying the ChemE PE next year.

Is there a way to change my display name on this message board?

My wife is an accountant... you can imagine the excitement around the dinner table when we talk about our work days...

Short week for me... Took Monday off, late to work on Tuesday, and they're letting us go at noon today for the holiday weekend. And I got my PE exam results yesterday (I passed!), so no waiting on that! Life is good...

New propane heater received for Christmas will facilitate several hours of woodworking in the garage...trying to finish up some oak end tables that I've promised my wife for a few years. Gonna spend New Years Eve on the mean streets of Alexandria, VA, catching the fireworks/laser light show at...

I taught myself as a teenager with just a book of chords and playing music with my dad in church. I've always wished I had taken lessons and learned scales and proper techniques. I've found that it's hard to unlearn years of incorrect techniques. The Baby Taylor guitars are great for kids...

Read Lamarsh and worked many examples. Worked every example in ANS study guide and took practice tests. Read first half of engineering economics book. Passed first try. If I hadn't passed, I would have repeated the above and added some pipe flow/heat exchanger examples/reading...but...
