I'm just curious, because no matter what job I get I'm going to do my best to make top scores and work my ass off. Also, I was told that FCs spend more time at sea which I'm interested in.
They don't do the same thing ET's do. ET's do comms and radar and FC's do weapon systems. There is a big difference in what we both do. FC's are a sea going rate and I do know their first tour is 5 years at sea then 2nd is 5 years compared to ET's which is 4 years then 3.
