How do most fighters slow down after landing?
The primary (and most effective) method to slow the jet down is aerobraking.  



In the T-38 at ~130 knots full aft stick is applied at a rate that prevents the jet from becoming airborne again.  The stick will be back towards the seat pan.  Fly the nosewheel down to the runway at ~100 knots and apply wheel brakes.

In the F-16 the max aerobraking occurs at 13 AOA with speed brakes extended.  You do not want to exceed 15 degrees of pitch angle to prevent scraping the burner can and speed brakes.  The speed brakes will not fully extend while the nosewheel is not on the runway (however, it can be overridden but increases the possibility that the speed brakes will scrape).

In either case you do not want to let the nosewheel fall.  You also do NOT apply wheel braking until the nosewheel is down.
