The best thing the UAS has going for it is you can have a steady and predictable life. When I was in Sierra Vista with the UAS, I was home daily at the same time, never missed my daughter's soccer games, ate dinner with the family each night. It wasn't a bad gig, and the technology is pretty impressive. I'm glad I had the opportunity to do it, I show people pictures of helicopters or planes and they think it's neat, show them the MQ9 and they are like WOW AWESOME
