As an airplane, slower than a Coke machine, approximately the same rate as a set of car keys.
As a helicopter, faster than a Coke machine, perhaps the rate of a pallet of bowling balls.
My apologies to Galileo.

What does that have to do with anything?

Thanks for the replys. I guess some questions were answered, just mainly why nobody likes NFOs. I never said Prowlers or 46s suck, just not really what I want to be doing. Ok who I am kidding, Prowlers would suck. And yes I want my own trigger, most Marines do. But I am sure I will be happy wherever I end up. More info about the different missions would be helpful.
Ok all you little angry people. Bring on the complaints and bitches. My Awesome ego needs to be shrunk.

I'm just a rotorhead, but I don't know why Prowlers would suck--they're throwing a lot more real-world electrons downrange than F/A-18s and AV-8Bs are throwing bombs. Whole squadrons are dropping one or two bombs during a deployment, while EA-6Bs are doing a lot to keep guys from being blown up.
I understand the trigger thing. I think most guys are WAY into that when they join. However, there aren't always things to blow up, but there are always people and things that have to go to a certain place at a certain time.
Glad you say you'll be happy wherever you go!
I really could give 2 shits if someone doesn't want prowlers (ergo I rarely explain any benies we have. Plus there are only like 4 FY09 pilot slots left for Marines). But that line shows your extensive knowledge base of the platform.
I'm starting to think someone needs to man up and just accept their fate, whatever it may be. Most guys giving advice to ya have more flight time in left turns than you have total flight time. Bunk out.
Seriously, did you catch Down's Syndrome hanging out on South Padre? I just can't think of any other possible reason you would ask for help and then shit-talk (no matter how unknowingly) some of the very people you asked in the first place. Also, why ask in the first place if you already know everything there is to know...Not-Even-a-Boot? I'm sure you'll be a real asset to whatever unlucky squadron gets the pleasure of delivering your daily crushings. WTF?
What did you expect with a name like Lt Awesome?
I expected him to be really really awesome.
If what you say is really true, I hear IOC could use a few more steely eyed killers.
Better Marines and better pilots than you have been "stuck" with 46s and Prowlers and have made actual contributions to the war effort. It's fine to have your preferences but you don't know enough to make a blanket statement that flying a certain platform would just suck. Besides, in the end, you're either going to find what you like about your community and focus on that or you're going to stay hung up on how you got screwed.

I'd like to hear some of those, if you don't mind, Sir. I am nowhere near needing to select, but I would like to know more about Prowlers, since I know less about them than almost anything else. TIA
