No doubt F-35 will become 'integrated', leaving the FAA and RAF to operate helicopters ... oops, got that wrong!
BUT, and this is a serious BUT ... some people will want a life on the ocean waves [if they ever leave port]. while some will prefer a life on a fixed RAF Station [until they spend most of their lives breathing sand]. So recruiting for some ill-defined concept in a youngster's mind will still, possibly, remain a factor. OMG ... I'm getting complicated now ....
