The Most Sophisticated Training Ground
For Nuclear Engineering
Isn’t On The Ground.
It’s on a Navy ship.
The Navy has
more than 1,900
reactor-years of nuclear
power experience —
more than anyone else
in America. The Navy
has the most sophisti
cated nuclear equip
ment in the world. And
the Navy operates over half of the nuclear
reactors in America.
With a nuclear program like that, you
know the Navy also offers the most compre
hensive and sophisticated nuclear training.
Every officer in the Nuclear Navy
completes a full year of graduate level
technical training. Outside the Navy, this
kind of program would cost you thousands.
In the Navy, you’re paid while you learn.
Then, as a nuclear-trained officer, you
supervise highly trained personnel in the
operation of the most
advanced nuclear
propulsion plants
ever developed. You
get a level of technical
and management
experience unequalled
anywhere else.
You get important
responsibilities and you
get them fast. Because
in the Navy, as your
knowledge grows, so do
your responsibilities.
Today’s Nuclear
Navy is one of the most
challenging and reward
ing career choices a
man can make. And
that choice can pay off
while you’re still in school. Qualified
juniors and seniors earn approximately
$1,000 per month while they finish school.
As a nuclear-trained officer, after 4
years with regular promotions and pay
increases, you can be earning as much as
$40,500. That’s on top of a full benefits pack
age that includes medical and dental care,
and 30 days’ vacation earned each year.
As a nuclear-trained officer, you also
earn a place among this nation’s most
qualified and respected professionals. So,
if you’re majoring in
math, engineering or
the physical sciences,
send in the coupon.

cated training ground

The USFL
Breakers to move to New Orlea
United Press International
NEW ORLEANS — United
States Football League owners
voted unanimously Tuesday to
move the Boston Breakers fran
chise to the Louisiana Super-
dome, giving the Crescent City
its second pro football team.
The transfer vote was taken
in Houston and announced at
the New Orleans International
Airport by delegation of team
officials. Twelve of 18 USFL
owners were needed to approve
the move.
Team officials said they
would decide in about a week
whether to retain the Breakers’
name, official insignia and uni
forms.
Mayor Ernest Morial said the
move would bring much-
needed business to the Super-
dome and added he hoped the
team would not become the
Bourbon Breakers or the Royal
Street Streakers.
Co-owner Randy Vataha has
said he received promises from
unidentified New Orleans inves
tors to buy minority interests in
the second-year USFL fran
chise.
Last season, the 11-7 Break
ers played at Boston University’s
20,000-seat Nickerson Field.
Vataha said it was not feasible to
play at Foxboro, a Boston area
stadium owned by the NFL Bos
ton Patriots.
The Breakers looked for a
place to move for four months
and considered Seattle; Hon
olulu; Portland, Ore.; Indiana
polis, Ind., and Akron, Ohio.
In New Orleans, they will join
the National Football League
Saints at the 72,000-seat Super-
dome. Both teams enjoy an abs
ence of competition from pro
baseball or basketball.
League owners Tuesday rei
terated their desire to place a
USFL franchise in Boston as
quickly as possible.
“We consider Boston a prime
franchise area in the USFL,”
Commissioner Chet Simmons
said. “The reason for this trans
fer is simply the present lack of a
suitable downtown facility.
Hopefully, the situation will be
resolved in the near future. The
league would like to return to
Boston."

chises, in San Antonio and
