Obviously none of you slacking student types have ever heard of direct entry then! No, honestly, UASs are a great (The best) way to get lots of flying experience, however, I'd say you are being very short-sighted if you plan to use them simply as an 'hour factory'. You must be willing, at least for the time you are on board, to undertake a military life-style, so either open your mind, and consider the Air Force as a possible career route (They're going to be paying for it, remember) or look elsewhere for a source of your civil hours. Remember, most hours spent with military instructors do NOT count on civvy tickets.
