I am currently in primary with around a dozen flights under my belt and I am trying to figure out what I want to try to aim for at the end of the program; the E2D seems like a really interesting platform, even if there are (allegedly) only a few slots per year. I understand the likelihood is low, and that the needs of the Navy come first; I am just curious if listing this as a preference is a good decision. Unfortunately, all of the second hand information I have gotten about the community has been mostly negative, and there are not any E2D IP's in my squadron to ask for first-hand information. I am curious if this a community with a future, and how the quality of life is comparable to other communities. I appreciate any information or personal experiences you care to share, thanks!
