Well, thanks for the advice. RPA's aren't the worst thing in the world (the mission is usually pretty dynamic and interesting), but I'm thinking that, long-term, I may be better off seeking an airline job than trying to translate my RPA experience into a civilian job later in life. Plus, just this week the AF Times had an article about how 2/3 of passed-over Majors will be sent packing rather than being able to continue to 20 and retire. The AF just isn't the most secure job anymore with all of the budget cutting going on.
