[QUOTE]Originally posted by Obese Penguin: [QB] [QUOTE]There is. I believe its 25 or 27 or thereabouts. And they're retiring the Tomcat, any Tomcat pilot doesn't have much of a future as a Tomcat pilot - I doubt they're even training them anymore. [/QUOTE]The F-14 is far from obsolete, it is still the main fleet defence fighter and with the retirment of the A-6 intruder F-14's have found a new life as bombers to supplement the F-18's. F-14s are also used in the fleet recon role, in association with the E-2 Hawkeye's to provide the fleet with its own recon. The F-18 is crowding into the F-14 job description but the F-18 is no where near an all out fighter. Hobbes : I dont know if the navy has Warrant Officers but I know a friend who is an Army Apache pilot, he went from working on them as a PFC to piloting them after getting his associates degree through the army and has already been sent to OCS after he got his BS on his way to his butter bars. He enlisted in hopes of getting some job training and just took the army for a ride all the way to a college degree, no one ever expected to see this guy with a degree but with the oppertunities in the military it would be a shame not to follow up.
