I mean, the USN is currently offering enlistment bonuses between $50k and $75k for anyone going down the nuke pipeline. The lie is probably that the $35k is for one specific rate he’ll never qualify for.
People who work with naval nuclear reactors, so the supercarriers and the submarine force. The US Navy is the largest US-based nuclear power plant operator, by reactor count
That would be the lowest possible bonus these days. My sign on bonus was $72,000 in 2000 and the next year it jumped to $275,000 for my job in the Navy. It’s come back down to $75,000 from what I’ve heard, but I’ve been out since 2004
Maybe the 35k is a signing bonus?
That’d be a damn high bonus for nearly anyone going into the military. Not that recruiters are above lying about a bonus

What is the nuke pipeline?

Was that pre or post 2001-09-11?
I signed up in 2000, so pre 9/11. As soon as 9/11 happened my it jumped up that high
You can get 200,000 dollar signing bonuses with the military but it usually comes at a cost of how long you have to stay in the forces.
