That aside, most of the guys with prior flight time did well in primary to the point that virtually all of them had "jet grades" at selection time. However, remember it is all governed by what's available the week you graduate from primary. One week it may be all jets and the very next week its all helos. That's the gamble you take with Naval Aviation.
