Lieutenant Junior Grade Jared Lee Heger is an NFO for the United States Navy. Within his job, or community as Jared refers to it, he flies in the EA/18G Growler, which is the Navy’s Electronic Attack Jet. His jet and communities mission is to launch off an aircraft carrier or land to carry out electronic attacks and suppression of enemy air defenses. “In the jet, there is the pilot in the front seat, who flies the plane and then there is me, in the backseat. I am in charge of Communication and Navigation. I’m pr etty much Goose from Top Gun,” he explains. Their plane has systems that are used to be able to detect and suppress any enemy threats toward the jet that enter on a target to employ different types of weapons.
