I had my commercial and just under 300 hrs flying mostly Cessnas. If you have the time and money to get a little GA flying under your belt it will help you. The Navy will still teach you the way they want you to fly; however, with a little bit of experience it will take the edge off because you should have some of the basic airwork licked and be comfortable with the radios etc. For me, it made Primary much easier while some with no time struggled. Everyone seems to catch up though in later Phases of training.
