another argument for a SIPR/JWICS airwarriors site!
That was set up a few years ago, more or less, on intellink. I don't think it got much use, but there seems to be a lot more forum type discussions going on in that SIPR domain these days.
Unclassified version? That is honestly not how any of what you're talking about actually works. On either side. You are so far out in left field that you've crossed the warning track, gone through a door in the fence, and smacked headfirst into the back of the bullpen.
Nah, I'm down. Let's re-open the Skyraider line and pull the old Essex class carriers out of mothballs. One airplane is basically like another, right? 
Ugh, not another SIPR site...
JWICS/COE: I'm in. Set it up.
SIPR: Ugh...not unless I have to.
P.S. My take on UAV's impact: When a UAV nose dives in the dirt, it makes a real impact.

It makes a bigger impact when it pulls a page from the VQ playbook and lands in the country it was collecting on...
It already exists, look on I-Space.
If Key West was the VUP base ocation, there would hardly ever be hardfills to the community.
I doubt that. You could base me in the middle of San Diego, Seattle or any other city and I wouldn't go anywhere near it. Sure, there are some people who really want to do it but many more who don't.
Nice place to visit but not the greatest for families, schools aren't great and it is remote enough that folks who have dependents with many medical conditions aren't stationed there.
Also, the phrase 'fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life son' kept coming to mind when I saw a lot of the folks wandering around downtown. Fun for a few days, a drag longer term.
Unless you have a boat. My Air Boss did a tour there and LOVED it but it was just him and his wife so kid concerns were nil. He said they spent a chunk of almost every day on the water.
Damn, are all ECMO's such downers? I've been lean, mean and smart...but still, I've found "fat, drunk, and stupid" to be among my finest accomplishments.
Wherever the CONUS and OCONUS FOBs are, it'll just be the mx troops and launch/recovery pilots. Mission crews will be in Jax and NASWI with the Mothership VUPs. So it's a flying tour that keeps you close to home and counts as a sea tour...no, I don't think they'll have trouble filling the billets. You guys who are too awesome to fly drones can have the yellow shirts and brown trout.
