PENTAGON AGREES TO RECOGNIZE DRONE PILOTS WITH A DECORATION
Quote:
According to Military Times, “The Pentagon has firmly rejected the idea of giving drone pilots and cyber warriors their own medal, and instead will offer a new "R" device to pin on existing noncombat medals.” That should help with recognition, while not alienating veteran’s groups. It might also help a little with drone pilot retention, a major Air Force problem going back years.
The new pin may be good for morale, but it’s hardly the only way the Air Force plans to keep pilots.
A recent change opened up piloting Global Hawk drones to enlisted servicemembers, not just officers, and paired it with a bonus as high as $125,000 for drone pilots that sign up for another five years.
