Military is not training pilots like they did in your day. Sure, a drone operator is a "pilot" but I'm not sure Delta will hire you with 60 hours flight time and 10,000 hours behind a Panasonic Toughbook.

Getting a military flight spot in this generation is 98% timing, 1% gender and 1% being the smartest most motivated guy in the class.
