Obviously it would be better to get a guard unit without that hanging over their heads, but worst case...military wings and networking will be a plus for your career. At this point I'd take anything that gets you into UPT...I think you still have a good chance of flying manned airplanes one way or another. Might be different in a few years, though.

I would not volunteer for a hypothetical UAV-only training program, ie any program which does not yield military pilot wings and an FAA commercial ticket. Unless you enjoy flying model airplanes...
