Hey everyone. I am about to finish intermediate and am looking to select jet aviation. Wanted to get any insight that I could on determining which route to go. Prowlers or Rhinos??? Any advice on how to think about selecting which route for Navy would be great. I appreciate it.

Rhinos
Rhinos will give you more flexibility on where you can live. Also, you won't have to worry (as much) about competing against so many NFO's for a seat in a Growler squadron when the time comes.

The other side of the coin is you have a 50/50 chance of ending up in Lemoore
That's not the issue for direct inputs out of flight school as much as it is for the "excess" ECMOs currently in Prowler squadrons that will face reduced NFO manning in Growler squadrons at more senior levels. Better to be at bottom of pyramid than further up.
Not a factor at all. And to echo HJ, the 50% chance of ending up in Lemoore would scare me away. Whidbey isn't the cosmopolitan hub of the universe, but it rocks nonetheless. Bottom line, regardless of what route he takes, the OP will end up in a SH airframe eventually.

Just select Hawkeyes. You'll feel better about it later.
You're not likely to find an answer there as Navy (and Marine Corps) will squeeze as much performance out of you as they can regardless of warfare community/platform.

If you had picked the AF you could have gone to F15E's or B1's way better then either Whidbey or Lemoore
You could have gone to well........................
Boise :irked_125 or Kansas :indiffere or Texas :thumbdn_1 or Missouri :fight_125 WAIT maybe you are in the right spot after all.

If you guys practiced that more you might improve you A/G accuracy numbers a bit :icon_lol:
There it is, the secret to AF bombing accuracy is squatting to pee. BTW, I know of a certain Viper pilot who missed her DMPI (A Palace) and dropped the damn thing in the pool! SHE lazed the damn pool!
