SNFO
Applying for nfo this year. I want to go tacair. I initially wamted to go F-18s and be a WSO, but my two mentors were both E/A-18 NFOs who transitioned from the prowler to the growler. One was even a test pilot for the growler and then deployed as a EWO with the marines during OIF so he has his gold wings and gold fmf pin. Opportunities like that seem rare, but interesting nonetheless. I know the NFOs at VAQs are often the leaders of the squadrons and even so end up as COs at the TACRONs. Any guidance on helping me decide my ultimate goals for selection?
