^ well, 41% actually, between Pilot and NFO. They both ride in planes, but NFO doesn't ride in a 1 seater (Goose, not Mav), and doesn't drive the plane... but operates a lot of other computer systems related to situational awareness and weapons.
The 41% is accurate. The % that is appointed Pilot out of USNA is 30%, and appointed NFO is 10%, totalling 40%.
I have found it interesting that Annapolis and NROTC appoint almost the exact same % into each community... there is no advantage to being at USNA vs. NROTC, as opposed to West Point and AROTC, where getting Infantry or Aviation out of USMA is a much higher % (approximately double) than out of AROTC. On the flip side, getting Military Intelligence or Med Svcs. out of USMA is much harder than getting MI of MS out of AROTC, %wise.
