LJ, ref. weaponeering. Don't the drone drivers just pickle the weapons? I thought the rest was done by the sensor operators
BTW there are many other jobs in the mil that get as stressed (more often) and have as serious (if not more) consequences, I wouldn't get too excited about trying to sell that aspect as not many will buy it
All this excitement over badges
They went on a course and passed it like individuals in many different jobs, well done to them for their achievements.
Was this a genuine course or did the RAF have an agenda for the RPAS pilot program? Were the candidates representative of the baseline abilities expected to be put through in the future, or were the dice loaded? Were they more capable, experienced, skilled, etc. and less likely to fail? Did the course have a pass fail criteria or were they given training until they passed?
