LOL! We started hearing “UAS” instead of “UAV” while in theater. Can you imagine the comments?

An early version of one of these is at the Seattle Air Museum. Ugly little duck.

Yeah, ive been with UAV’s since 2005. I first heard UAS in 2006 at the USSOCOM conference in VA. Janes, DIA, etc started using the UAS moniker since UAS’s are considered alot more “purple” or joint driven. With that being said, UAS’s are finding their way to alot more BCTs and Special Ops units. I can envision the Shadow (seen on my handle page——click my name) being deployed in 3-bird platoons at the BN level, and the Predator (ERMP) to each BCT.

LOL...the 96U and 350U school at Fort Huachuca are pretty demanding. I did the UAS Commander and Staff Officer Course out at black tower. It was only 5 days, but honestly, should be around 3-5 weeks. There is ALOT of information out there for UAS PLs and Det Commanders.

The youngest MOS-Q’d soldier my platoon has is a 19 year old PFC that just got out of 52DU2 course. She was in pagentry and top in her H.S. class. She wants to be a UAS warrant. Our youngest is still out at Huachuca and will join the brigade in country. I don’t think he has turned 18 yet, but is in 33W school and still has to do the U2 course. LONG courses....we don’t see them for almost a year after they get out of basic.

The military has changed. My grandfather had an 8th grade education and became an officer. Today, I talked with a sergeant who has a master’s degree.
To: MediaMole
I know lots of NCO’s with Master’s degrees.
Heck, I am a former NCO myself - 11B2PLGMH.
Now I am a rocket scientist, of all silly things.

DLI..."Da love institute".
I scored 1 point under to go out there. We have 2 guys in our BCT out there. I think its about a 20 month course. I wish I could be stuck in Monteray area for 2 years. I would be driving down to Paso Robles to wine country every weekend....hiccup! As far as the srubbers, our AAI and General Atomics contract guys do all that.

This threads posters make me grin. I’m glad I started our ping list.

We are very quickly reaching the point at which a FR UAV ping list would be useful....
