Are you serious?! Dude's looking for advice and last I checked you don't need to "rush" to get your wings. Just go through flight school and do well. If someone on here is too sensitive to take a "puddle jumper" comment in jest, then maybe the unforgiving environment of aviation isn't really for you. God forbid you had to get a paddles debrief for the screaming waveoff followed by a taxi one!!
I'm in the unforgiving environment of aviation, and I didn't take it in jest. When he followed it with an explanation that flying away after an assault wasn't "bad-ass," it wasn't that funny. I'll take crap from another aviator, but no one without wings gets to throw ready-room-style barbs. Look, helo bubbas may be the kids wearing hockey helmets while waiting for the short bus, but they're OUR hockey helmets, and fuck you if you make fun of their color.
Of course, now as a tiltrotor guy, I have the option of playing with my our poo, as well, just like the jet guys. Ref: jets make you poo

That's funny, flying a jamming orbit doesn't seem like that much fun either.

Did anyone have a reply about why you're more likely to get a jet slot in the Air Force? Thank you.
Less helos, probably. Keep in mind that your USAF "jet" slot might mean flying a C-17.

Quick ThreadJack layman's terms (read 3mph grunt):
In the 'sedan' like Prowler, what are the jobs specifically of the three NFOs.
or are they interchangeable.
Is the NFO sitting next to the pilot primarily a Navigator while the two behind are ECMOs? Or are they all doing the same job. Is there still such a thing as a bombadier? If so do you stay as a navigator or ECMO for say a whole deployment or do you mix things up.
Is there a hierarchy within or seniority in seating or jobs within the Prowler?
Or do the three NFOs leave the ready room and one yells "shotgun" and he gets to sit in front while the two in back fight and tease each other until the pilot threatens to pull over.
