Nope, just a common misconception.
LowSlow,
I agree that the guard is a different beast from 10 yrs ago but I don't see non flying tours/assignments being passed out unless the individual is doing it for pay days. Correct me if I'm wrong but guys are still getting to fly the entire time there. I get the tempo is greater, but once again, the decision to stay or go is yours. Also, the fear of UAV is a unit thing not just an individual. Even then, you can decide to stay or go. Not the case in Big Blue. The guard is like pizza and ( ), even when it is bad, it is really good and normally beats the alternatives.
