I'm not against spreading the wealth at all - and the requirement for FAC'ing in the USMC was aircrew. I had a CH-53E pilot and EA-6B ECMO as my battalion FACs. Aircrew who are med-down for various reasons could be filled into UAV slots and staff tours too as they probably already are to some degree. I wish there was a shortage enough to bring back us lazy, lame, and broken wanna-bes Just waiver that PFT/CFT and I'm back in that cockpit taking the -3 night formation hop again!
