As far as the Navy goes, the major reason as to what you will select, is the needs of the Navy. Granted, you have to make the cut (50 NSS...Navy Stand Score and it's a ***** to understand and explain) for strike but E2/C2 also need a 50 NSS. I've seen guys with a 48 NSS get jets and I've seen guys with a 65 NSS, Commodores list, not get their first choice. Needs of the Navy come first. So what's the chance with zero flight time or experience, same as everyone else. Most of the guys I knew who are or were fighter guys, had zero experience. The Navy will teach you everything you need to know. I think it breaks down 50% of Navy pilots are helo, 35% are jet, 7% are E2/C2 and not sure what the rest break down. Those are what I heard in a brief about 6 months ago and are approximate.

You want a better gaurantee for fighters, like said above, go ANG.
