Just started reading about this yesterday.... And there's not much out there about it.
Can anyone please shed some light on this field and what's different (if any) from a regular RPA pilot vs AFSOC RPA pilot?
What's the difference in their missions etc?
I read so far that there are 2 Special Ops squadrons currently active with RPAs: the 3rd and 33rd SOS. Both based out of Canon AFB in New Mexico, flying Predators and Reapers.
I'm a civilian RPA select so please excuse my lack of info....
What are the pros/cons to being AFSOC RPA pilot?
How do you get in?
Is day to day life any different?
Any incentives?
I was interested in AFSOC (enlisted) after not getting selected for OTS my first time around so please tell me more!
