Like many open ended questions that are asked on this board one can do alot of their own homework by simply using the search function...chances are your question has been asked and answered many times either here or on other forums (airwarriors.com/baseops.net etc). I think you also need to do the research on different services. It goes without saying that being a fighter pilot in the Air Force, Navy or Marines will yield different experiences thus different opinions on what a day in the life or a month in the life of the same is like.
From a Navy perspective what you have read up above holds true for the most part. I will say that Navy and Marine Corps aviators in general will spend more time on ground jobs and less time where they need to be in the books studying tactics etc. This is simply due to the make up of a Navy/Marine Corps squadron being different from the Air Force. USN/USMC squadrons have OPS/Training/Safety/Admin/Maintenance all under one roof so those ground jobs are split amongst the ready room and a limited number of ground officers(non aviators). In a single seat squadron the same number of ground jobs are split evenly amongst essentially half the number of Officers as in a 2 seat squadrons. Simply said, you're busy with long days. You're constantly working towards your next set of qualifications which takes up alot of time(ref the 10 hour event above), then its time to get to that stack of blue folders sitting on your desk or answering your DH's emails.
The one thing that is different in a Navy squadron is the boat, it drives your workup cycle and what you do back on the beach even when you're not underway for work ups or cruise/deployment. You will fly more during workups than you will on cruise in most cases depending on what AOR you're flying in. Squadrons in Japan will typically fly more regularly and routinely than stateside squadrons but again that depends on where a squadron is in the workup cycle, which drives your daily/monthly routine.
Finally, ask 10 different fighter pilots and you're going to get 10 different answers. It isnt Iron Eagle or Top Gun. Each and every one of us who have lived in a fighter squadron day in and day out will tell you(I think I'm safe in speaking for the crowd) that your experience is what you make of it. If you go into it with the right attitude and reason for serving first, flying second and the right set of work ethic you will do well.
Good luck!
