step 1: take the f-15 off of your avatar.
On his main site he seems like a pretty knowledgeable guy, but he travels around being an inspirational speaker, if being a fighter pilot is so amazing why isn't he still flying? And we've been over the topic enough times on this site. To select what you want, you have to do your best in primary and pray to the selection gods that the Navy "needs" your first choice, whether it be strike, rotary or props, I don't think an e-mail/books on tape course will help you in primary
Sounds like you think it's a waste of time. Why waste everyone else's time asking about it then?
He's simply re-enforcing his well deserved reputation as a habitually bad poster.

From what I've learned from buddies who have just recently selected, its not what you want but what the Navy needs. So just work hard in flight school and just be happy with whatever the Navy gives you, even if its not your 1st choice. Youre a Naval Officer first, Naval Aviator second.
Nice job working in "habitual" there, Brett.
I'm here to help, even if only to keep the riff-raff in check though the exercise of superior vocabulary.

pretty hard to be a fighter pilot these days because there are NO FIGHTERS around the naval services these days.
