Non-vol to the Global Hawk
First off, let me say that none of this post is a jab at the UAV community, just me venting after a rather shocking day.
Today I got the "great" news that I'd be leaving my beloved Fred and heading off to the Global Hawk this summer. Rant, engage....
I'm ****ed, furious, angry, upset, shocked, numb about the news that in a few months, I'll no longer be flying a "real airplane." It's all I ever wanted to do was fly jets and now the AF has taken that away from me. I'm also getting this assignment (at 2 years 8 months) while guys with 5 years are still getting extended. FML
Rant....over
'breath, just breath'
Are there any GH bubbas out there that can give me an idea of what I'm getting into? QOL, what the job entails, deployments, office life, etc?
I'm going to do the right thing and try to be positive about this situation. Again, I want to make sure that I'm not offending any of the UAV folks out there, and am just dealing with this shocking news.
Any info would be great and thanks in advance!
Cheers
