Like the other have said - become a pilot in the AF first...Then worry about UAVs.

I was a computer geek as well and back in the day the best place to be was the USAF as a computer geek. Got my PPL at Yokota AB, Japan thru the Aero Club there. Then finished 4 year degree, got commissioned as a 2Lt. Did the officer thing as a engineer. Got out and now do IT work supporting UAS in NoVa.
