Selections for NFO's in Pensacola:
1st: Primary (VT-4/10) Jets or Maritime{P-3/E-6}
2nd: Intermediate: (VT-4/10) E-2s or Jets
3rd: Advanced: (VT-86) Strike {EA-6B/S-3B} or Strike-Fighter {F-14/18}
4th: Winging: Platform
Strike: EA-6B's or S-3B's
Strike-Fighter: F-14's or F-18's
3rd & 4th selections will change due to the decommissioning of the S-3B and the F-14.
As long as you get to VT-86....you'll fly a jet....other than that, it was about a 30-40/70-60 split between Strike-Fighter and Strike. The best way to get what you want is to study and apply yourself. Good luck!

I'm in -86 right now, and the Navy is just handing out Strike Fighter slots to anyone with the NSS. The Core syllabus is tough, but you can make it if you decide you're not going to have a life for the first 2 months. Basically Boeing has produced F/A-18Fs faster than we can fill them, so the Navy is dying to get Super Hornet WSOs...
ea6bflyr-- You're an old man now... no more RIOs, just Rhino WSOs. LOL, just messing with you man. Yeah, it's still there... I just realized I've spent more hours in that stupid building than I have in the T-6, T-1, and T-39 combined... ugh.
Cindy- the gouge number is 45, but that's not set in stone except for the Chair Force. Like I said, the Navy is begging for Super Hornet guys, and plus there's so many folks (like yours truly) who the anthro guys won't let sit in the Prowler. So right now the issue is more "will you survive the Strike/Fighter syllabus?"
Remember, you can't get winged if your NSS is below 35, and due to the competitiveness of the S/F pool, your NSS will drop about 4 points after selection. So really, the rock-bottom MINIMUM should be a 40, but you should strive to get at LEAST a 45. Won't be easy, though, especially when you realize that the radar in the plane looks nothing like the radar in the sims.
Quick, what's the boldface for brain fire in flight? LOL!

Not sure what the upper end is... most folks are in a fight to the finish in core syllabus and don't really take off until after selection... so it's kind of a dogfight.
Nothing like VT-10/4, where folks are graduating with 67 NSSs
