I suppose I thought I'd be preaching to the choir on this one. Perhaps I should brush up on my flight simulator skills.

UAVs, not just an Air Force gig anymore
- Thread starter kanakAttack
- Start date
It's not so much an officer vs enlisted question, but a "rated" vs "non-rated" one. Air Force uses rated and experienced "aviators" (incudes Navigators) to operate their UAVs (Predator and Global Hawk). Army uses enlisted personnel trained to operate their UAVs. Navy will likely have both based on legacy of smaller UAVs operated by VC-6 Dets and the more sophisticated UAVs comig down the pike. USMC has smaller UAVs operated by enlisted personnel.
I knew an AE2 that got orders to PAX River to learn to operate those.
Because your worth more.
There I said it. Im not saying your life is worth more as everybody goes into the same 6 foot hole whether your a Private or a General. But the skill set and experiance that are lost for the grunt infantry guy pale in comparison to the skill set and experiance for a Pilot/NFO/Crew.
Eh, the Syrians? Not so good when it comes to trying to shoot guys down..........
Now when they get an SA-10 or SA-20, then they might cause some problems.......

Ah, yes the S-400. What was it that Sergey Sokut said in regards to it "There will be no desert storm over Russia" so dramatic...
Guess that means we need to hurry up the development on that hypersonic missile

Actually the S-400 is the SA-21, it will make you day even worse than an SA-10 or 20.
Indeed, the S-400 Triumph (or SA-21) is one bad mammajammer. Good news is they say it's just for Mother Russia for time being.
Yeah, I accidentally carried the one there... Stupid question (but not necessarily about naval aviation), which of "our more persnickity current adversaries" has the most badass IAD?
Do you want to expand that to potential adversaries?
That would be for the SIPR side of AW.
Yes I guess we'd have to...Damn, no soup for me...
How about this, tell me your favorite dish that is distinct to one country... I'm guessing Persian Kabab's with khoresht and basmati?:tongue2_1

The skill set for a Pilot/NFO/Crew is no doubt going to cost more money... however I would say that its something different to say that a pilot is "worth more" than an infantry officer. just my opinion. Were you speaking in terms of training costs or battlefield assets?
