Let me spare your feelings. I don't hate NFO's, I know many good FO's. However, the E-2 NFO community, as a group, is not a good bunch to deal with, especially being an outsider (COD guy). Were there individual good E-2 NFO types? Hell yeah but combine them as a whole and things go down hill quickly. As with anyting, a few bad apples stand out more than the whole as well. Some of the absolute worst officer/leaders I've come into contact have been a specific type(s)...E-2 NFO and at least two pilots (one CAG). In 16 years, I've seen all types and have had the time/experience to draw a conclusion.
