My best WSO friend told me (yes, I really have one): Nobody tells their guidance counselor "I want to be the guy who sits behind the pilot".
Most of those guys are pretty cool, but I did talk to a retired O-6 who is fairly high in the food chain at Amazon. He said that they had an applicant who listed that he was an F-15E pilot on his resume. It just so happened that the Amazon guy was a former heavy and T-38 pilot in the USAF so he specifically picked this guy to interview so he could just BS about flying the entire time since he was tired of the standard interview crap. Immediately upon interviewing this F-15E pilot things seemed a little off, he was deceptive about where he went to pilot training and a few other things. Long story short is he was a WSO who listed he was a pilot. His explanation was that it was too hard to explain what a WSO does so he just put pilot on his resume to make it easier. LOSER.
