We all know of the fated day for any Navy pilot when his or her NSS is stacked up to every other Primary student graduating that week, and of what immediately follows...
I'm wondering how one gets selected, or gets to select, the aircraft they will finaly fly in the fleet after advanced jets??? If one goes to helos' carrier props, maritime or E-6, their anxiety or uncertainty about what they'll fly is basically over, but I'm wondering about the jet/strike students? Besides "needs of the Navy" (of course) what factors decide whether you become a Prowler, Viking or a strike fighter pilot???
